Thank you for watching! ❤️ Which is your favorite fall wardrobe piece that you wouldn't change for the world? And to learn which fall items are elegant, watch this video next: 7 Elegant Items You Must Own In Fall ruclips.net/video/6_wJsajqf0E/видео.html
One of the things that makes a woman truly elegant: Books, self confidence, being musical, articulate, knowing social graces and being kind and generous. These are rules for elegance that people dont mention and should mention regularly!
What you said. Elegance also involves naturalness and simplicity. Not trying too hard. There's a certain refinement that is subtle and understated. You can't quite figure out what it is about the woman that makes her so elegant because there's nothing obvious or flashy about her. Think Audrey Hepburn visiting impoverished parts of the world with Unicef. Or Michelle Obama facing rabid critics and haters with grace and intelligence. True elegance depends both on outer things like understanding the cut of a garment, and inner things like composure, grace and dignity. And it will all fall apart if the person is self absorbed, conniving, or unkind. ETA: I didn't actually see anything about "elegance" in the video.
@@IvyRoad I agree with you! It reminds me of Belle (or really any of the disney princess cartoons) from beauty and the beast, how she handles the beast and the way she is so kind and loving to her father...she is extremely elegant in the kind of woman that she is even if shes just wearing a blue peasant dress. It's a lesson that elegance comes from the heart and soul. It is easy to spot but difficult to master.
@@OpiumBride Yes, this influencer is very clear that her goal is to teach women how to land rich men. She's been interviewed about it and that's what this is all about. It's not about elegance at all, it's about dressing yourself to be the woman a rich man wants to have. I can respect her honesty, but let's face it, that is not the same thing as dressing or being elegant.
Hi I'm Loretta De Los Rios using Frank's account to make this comment with his permission . Karman Jane, that is not the point Anna Bey is talking about. Look at the point..🙏🤲⚘🎶🎷😊
I live in New England farm country so I'm not giving up my 1940s Woolrich plaid jacket! It's great for pumpkin festivals and trips to the farmers market. I think the secret to elegance is to wear what is appropriate for the occasion, and HOW something is worn is just as important as WHAT is worn
Fall is Plaid shirts, T shirts with Fall scenes, Jeans. And if you live in the Southland or the West, Western cowboy boots. Great for Fall festivals & bonfires. Anna Bey wouldn't like this. LOL!
Switching off after 10 mins each to their own I guess I wouldn’t wear that lilac knit she has on but I don’t look down on her like she appears to do to others in some of her examples! Bloody rude!!!!
As for the long knitted top/dress, I’m reminded of Tim Gunn saying on Project Runway, “if you have to ask if a clothing item is a dress or a top, it’s always a top.”
That's a great thing to keep in mind, thank you :) I have a long knitted top, but I don't know how to style it elegantly. Do you happen to have one more advice by any chance?
Reminder : don't compare yourself with others, each of us have our own time on our own phase. We will achieve great things too, but first we have to accept that we're unique in our own way and most importantly we should stop comparing ourselves because it just slows down our process and stops us from really fulfilling our own true potential. Let's keep working hard and take a break too! ✨🦋
Beautiful comment and reminder to celebrate where we are at and embrace out past, present and future as best we can so we can look back three years from now with tears of joy, not regret! 🌞💕
For any ladies watching, "basic" is actually a style aesthetic (also mine) so definitely don't feel discouraged. It also depends on how old you are, where you live, what the "style culture" is like there, etc. For instance, the skinny jeans and Chelsea boot combo is my go-to church outfit; it's comfortable, casual yet classy, not crazy and not lazy, and it makes me happy, which is all that matters!
I wear dresses or skirts to church, I developed a great passion for vintage clothing and the music, so slowly started collecting here and there 30s-50s it’s like playing dress up but it’s not costume just part of my style!
Yes, I'm basic. With inflation and job losses, I'm happy just to have old basic clothes to wear. I mean I would like to get some new pieces, but food and shelter has to come first.
I like cargo jackets but she’s right in terms of elegance it’s not it and sandals in the winter yeah not a good idea But yeah look bulky in a housecoat if you want it’s all up to you you’re the leader of your style choices
She says all that while wearing a purple sweater with her bright red nail polish 😂 I can tell this lady is the type to judge people as she walks down the street lol
I don’t think any clothes can make a person can look elegant. Either you are or you’re not. It’s a soul thing. It comes from inside. Try to match your wardrobe to your personality instead or it will look off. If you’re the girl next door be that a 100% wear jeans and a t-shirt you will be authentic and you will be respected.
I guess her content is not for everyone. It is for people who need to look polished in their workplace or what is more controversial the ladies who want to attract 'affluent men'. It does not suit my lifestyle either, I love and will wear a lot of the things mentioned in the video but dress elegant when I need to (which for now is rather rare). I pop in here from time to time but I really dislike how she mispronounces some words lmao.
@@anetabrlikova8454 it depends what each person thinks is elegant… your dress in your picture would not pass elegant for me. Also Anna’s clothes, for instance I don’t fancy jumper she is wearing in this video. So to say what is elegant and what is not is not that clear cut. For sure, too revealing clothes are not elegant for me, nor are too flashy, like big brands, visible logos.. So to each their own, even when it comes to elegance.
@@adk5997 Of course, I knew someone is going to comment my profile picture with something bitter hahaha. I only said, that right clothes can make you elegant. 😏 Read again what I said, if you still don't get it. I did not say : " I think I look elegant in my profile picture"( Although, I think I look great there, ;)) Please, do not misinterpreted my comments. Have a great day!
Im short, petite, slim and curvy. I love a teddy coat and the boxy shape and feel good in clothes that dont hug my shape. If I feel good thats all I care about. I think your videos are more about attracting a man with feminine attire rather than wearing what you want and making it work for your body. I think all clothes can work and if you feel good you walk confident and that is then projected.
I’ve resisted this channel for so long and now I’m binging videos. None of the content is disrespectful at all and I am really learning a lot. These fashion tips truly are spot on.
Anna actually says what our mothers used to tell us all the time, I think these advices are universal across time, culture, religion and race. My Asian Indian mom wouldn't approve of all that she doesn't approve of as well! I used to hate her advice, accuse her that she is making me look like grandma. But I think she only was making me look graceful and I was trying to pull off signature looks which was at the end making me look uncultured!
Yes. And it's tricky because we want, when we're young to strike out on our own and be supported while still be given distance and if there's any trauma then that throws off everything.
“A woman with class is timeless.” Anna, your videos always bring a smile to my face and it feels like you always bring something I was waiting for. Thank you! ❤️
It really depends on the area you are from that affects your style. For example, in the southern part of the US it is VERY hot during the spring, summer, and fall (especially the summer). That's why, if you go there during this time of the year, you will see a lot of people wearing not very "fashionable" clothing. We are literally MELTING from the heat! We tend to lean towards your basic styles, because they tend to be cooler and easier to wear in sweltering temperatures.
I have upgraded myself & life SO MUCH since I started binge watching your videos (it was much needed I do so). 1) I invested in some beautiful quality garments, 2) I decluttered my house, 3) I got rid of a man that was wasting my time & energy, 4) I'm loving myself & doing self care again. This is just the beginning, I have long ways to go. But I am confident that by upgrade my life, my inner world and the way I present myself and show up in life, I will attract a great man who will respect me, be proud of me and take good care of me (I do have my own business that i am passionate about and I continue with it). Thank you Anna. You were the boost I needed. This is so much more than just living an affluent life, it's a self care and regeneration from head to toe, and inside out ! Plus the finer things in life 🙏❤ I'm thankful and grateful ❤💕💕
@@mmthomas3729 Absolutely yes. After watching the video, I realize that I didn’t fall victim to as many of these trends as I thought. I guess I was always anti-trend in high school and wanted everything to be “normal” so I don’t look ridiculous in any of these items but I also don’t stand out.
I haven't seen those hideous teddy coats in New Zealand, thank goodness. They look to be made from synthetic fabric which doesn't tick the sustainability box.
Tip #2 is so spot on. I bought this coat a few months ago, wore it to dinner, but didn’t realize until looking at the single photo of the night: I looked three times my size. I have not worn it since.
Only Carrie Bradshaw could wear a coat like this contrasting with the naked dress, so everyone looking at her would not think of the coat. And it’s a fairy tale, in reality, not so many women are Carrie-shaped and Carrie-perfect so as addition of a size or a two won’t mess up the impression.
I just tested out one of Anna's thoughts about pinterest, and sure enough when I looked up fall fashion 2022 I got the skinny jeans and booties, the big scarves, the monster boots, the plaid, the oversized coats and sweaters etc.. these super tired looks have been around for over half a decade! So boring and cheap looking! Anna is so right!
@@fashionandluxury101 It also depends where you live. If you live in a large city, those clothes would look out of place but are perfectly fine in the country or in a small town. Cargo jacket is good for hiking so you can keep your hands free but bring little things you will need.
You’re going to look fine, and those clothes make you happy, I think most things she says are ridiculous…she forgets we wanna be comfy and happy even if we’re not Elegant or on trend…..
@@artwithmamafairybreadd You seem to be on the wrong channel, dear. This is for women who want to be elegant and upgrade their lifestyles. You might prefer the prepper and survivalist channels.
Major side note: Anna, have you ever thought about doing a funny story time series or perhaps reacting to fashion faux pas? You are HILARIOUS without even trying to be 😂
YES I would love to see this!!! She really is effortlessly hilarious! Her reactions always make me laugh. She has so much knowledge, so we'd learn while getting entertainment! ❤
Anna can react to my fashion faux pas. I'm imperfect and have lots of them. I'm unemployed and overweight too, so she can tell me how my look is cheap and what a fashion and body wasteland I am. There's nothing like women supporting women! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I do the boot and skinny jeans outfit a lot with a nice chunky sweater or a nice jacket or cardigan. Men still approach me left & right - and I’m no supermodel but I could give one a run for her money! I feel that as long as your hair is done, your makeup is good, your nails are neat and 🧼 clean, you smell good, and you smile...you will radiate a sensual, feminine aura that men cannot resist even if you’re wearing a trash bag. 😉😉😉
I would not think this way or dress up to look just a sex object to attract opposite sex for sex . In fact I dress up to look good, to feel good. It's about me just myself. Sadly many woman only think sex object about themselves. We should value ourself.
It’s fine if you like basics. Wear what you like and if others don’t like it oh well. As long as YOU feel beautiful in it. This world is forever judging anyway, people wear what you like. We are not all suppose to look alike. Fashion and Style are two different things.
Anna can you please make us a video how to dress for fall/winter the proper way? Like an updated version. Especially how to combine ankle boots and overknee boots. Footwear during fall/winter in general. Really need this! Thank you for your great videos! You are a true inspiration
I bought a ivory color teddy coat from aritzia and I got it tailored and now I’m obsessed with it. I didn’t want to get rid of the coat because it was boxy because it’s so practical for winter weather in New Jersey.
She is completely wrong on the Teddy coat!!! I've had my Max Mara since 2014. It's alpaca and silk. So warm. Indestructible! It's an icon! That's why it's been a staple of the house since 2013. Shearling dominated the runway this fall. Coats shoes and bags.
The thing is that most of these clothes are ok for your high school and univercity/college years and the remain in our closets because they're comfy , plain and easy They are perfectly fine but they dont show any progress
Living in a warmer climate, where we have a warm or hot Fall season, we do not wear many of the cold weather items. It's a "one season" climate -- warm and humid most of the year. But, if you're traveling or visiting a cooler Fall climate, I wholeheartedly agree with the tips given by Anna.
@@lmusima3275 - Yes; flip-flops are more appropriate for pool & beach wear (or when gardening). Also, I think open-toed shoes should never be worn unless the feet have been tastefully pedicured.
I've lived in both warm and cold climates and depending on the weather it also dictates what's needed. If you're going to be outside in 30 below weather making sure your jacket isn't bulky isn't always an opion. And when you live where it's around 80 F in the winter and you're on a beach you're not going to wear closed footwear.
✍️ Point no. 10 - When going outside, don't forget to put on pants . Got it 😅 In these post lock down times you never know actually, I might need a reminder
As someone with a Max Mara Teddy in beige for apres-ski purposes…. Oh, well 🤦🏼♀️ I find I can make it look almost elegant if I pair it with my usual classic style. It’s all in the styling and colour. Unfortunately, wool/cashmere coats just don’t cut it in -40 degree weather for me, even with layering. P.s. North American ladies, if you’re looking at Max Mara (The Manuela is really quite elegant), try either buying it yourself in Europe or having a friend do so… excellent quality that lasts a lifetime for almost 3/4 of the NA retail price. 💕
I also own a Teddy coat, and I find it very elegant when styled appropriately ... I think it’s way better then a puffer and it a great alternative for people ho don’t want to wear fur jackets or puffer jackets when it’s very cold. I agree whit Anna that a very difficult piece to style an the quality counts because it might look very cheap but I think I will keep being elegant event with my teddy !!! I just try to style it as a fur coat and it works!
I find it so odd that this woman makes videos of how to look elegant yet her hair screams cheap, outdated, overtly bleached early 2000s style. I just want to give her hair a complete makeover to make it look more natural. Nothing screams trashy like bleach blonde hair. The tight curls at the bottom are also terrible and old fashioned.
Love this sweater on you! I agreed with you on almost all the points you made. You gave good tips on what to do instead. The more I get to know you through this channel, the more I tend to agree with and appreciate your insights.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this woman!! In today’s world where SOOOO many people are afraid of offending others, they dim their opinions and don’t let their individuality shine. This woman right here is 110% her and some people will love her and some won’t. I have a feeling she does not care. She is 110% a FANTASTIC role model for girls and women. Do I agree with her all the time, no. But I would never want her to change. Keep being you Anna!
Anna, can you please do a video on how to be elegant while living an active lifestyle? What clothing is appropriate in the gym? What types of fitness or activity-related photos are flattering to post on social media? Is it worth it to attend an elite gym?
My goodness, I leave YT for a while, return, and Hurrah!! - Anna has 1 million subs!! Congratulations Anna!! This is a testament to all your hard work and excellent content. Personally, I have loved watching your personality shine through more and more over time. You prove that one can be elegant, yet still be themselves. Thank you!
Love your candor and humor. Love how you can laugh at your past mistakes and share your successes. Remember ladies - Auntie Anna is going to be worried for you! 😆
I hate going to find fall outfit inspo bc these looks are flooded on social platforms. Do you have a list of feminine ladies you’d recommend for style inspo? Thank you Ana
I agree with almost everything here- with 1 exception- open Toe Shoes 🙂 I was born and raised in a cold country, where open toe shoes are a novelty for only a couple months out of the year. Now I live in South Texas. It’s sunny and warm here most months of the year, and I celebrate my open toe shoes as often as possible. With a little thought, and the appropriate climate, they can work in any season❤️
I can see how that makes sense, in such a warm place. I'm Canadian, I live on the freezing cold Canadian prairies, where open-toed shoes would only make sense in the summer, but in a warmer place, I can see how it makes sense pretty much year-round.
Well Hello my Fellow Canadian! The 'cold country I was referring to in my OP is Canada! I was born and raised in Alberta! Lived on Vancouver Island before moving down here to South Texas many years ago! I love my open toed shoes, but I do kindof miss wearing boots for longer than a day or 2 in February! You have that advantage for sure! Stay warm my friend! @@Julia-nl3gq
LOL, I love my teddy coat! It's a basic shape, hip length, a notched collar, usable pockets and it's a pretty blush rose in a nicely nubby texture. I always get compliments and never feel silly wearing it. The scarf I use with it is a rose, taupe and cream tartan and not bulky in the least. But I do agree with the examples you showed. You know your stuff!
I would love to see images on how to wear items in a better way. Like the booties in number one. Do you mean wide leg trousers? What about with skirts?
Agreed I am guilty of the knee highs with jeans/leggings. When I am trying not to be basic i switch it up add a belt and nice high heeled knee high boots. I don’t feel basic anymore. Always add some pizazz if you don’t want to look basic. Plus if your hair, nails are done in an elegant way you are already not basic. It’s the whole vibe y’all you can bring elegance to any style it’s how you carry yourself. Have fun with your clothes just have elegance as the underlying theme.
Ps Anna's channel is for everyone. It's up to the individual to choose which advice is best for us, we have minds after all and the responsibility to use them.
@@EccoLivingLife Why are you so rude and condescending? My, my... People can comment freely; this woman was not being rude in any way, and yet you chose to be towards her. Now that is showing a lack of elegance and a lack of etiquette.
My mom is from Southern California and she said she didn't even own closed toe shoes besides her work shoes when my dad moved her to NC 33 years ago. 🤣🤣
Thanks Ana for the reality check ! We are all guilty of becoming too invested in a look which we convince ourselves looks great, but lacks alternative perspective... I'm tall and slim but am long-waisted and have learnt the hard way to keep the bottom half consistent when wearing black tights.
That's when we take her advice to dress appropriately for the activity we are apart of. But outside of your work be that elegant sophisticated lady you know you can be. ❤
The funny thing is that I've seen numerous fast-fashion sites showing models wearing sweater dresses that look exactly like a sweater that should be worn with pants.☹️
Her English is excellent but if you seldom hear certain words pronounced you might not know. Plaid rhymes with GLAD. I know it is spelled like you'd pronounce it 'played.' I'm glad English is my native tongue because it would be hell to learn!
You should do more demonstrations for all body types with actual model's and full warobes. And lux for less, where to shop on a budget for luxury elegant looks. And luxury home decor!
I...i had this feeling too. When i was a student and i was going to supermarket i saw a woman wearing nude tights with somewhat medium length dark blue dress and i thought shes insane man, it was freezing february...!!
I dont understand why people get triggered by Anna's videos. If you like flannel shirts, teddy coat, and those boots then wear it. If you aren't into the whole elegant style 24/7 why even care if you love those pieces. Dont feel insecure and react. if you love those pieces so much dont feel insecure about what other people say about your wardrobe. No matter what style you wear or how perfect you look people will have a positive or negative opinion on your style.
about the plaid shirts: some people, including myself, like wearing them for a casual and comfy look. and we like how it’s a little more masculine. masculine isn’t the bad thing, it’s the expectation how women are expected to wear one thing and men another. clothes don’t have gender and a women looking more masculine isn’t a bad thing. people who don’t always try to look elegant like these plaid shirts because they are easy to throw on and can be dressed up a little :)
Great tips! I would add to this a suggestion about the sweater as a dress situation: if you can add a belt to the sweater and it still covers everything, you can wear it as a dress, but if you add a belt and it loses enough length to show everything. Forget it.
I had a the teddy bear coat in brown in winter 2019 I brought at Target for the company holiday party and I took a picture with my co-workers and I was horrified on how I look! Everything you stated on the teddy bear coat is true and sold it on Poshmark. I was trying to look like a Max Mara ad and it failed
I'm a young sixties. Have a lot of everything (4 closets) and always wear the same thing. I also sew. I love layering and you are great with ensembles. I look forward to more of your terrific videos. This is my new style now. I hadn't worn my pinstripe palazzos in a long time. I usually wear them with a body suit (don't know where I sat that) but I love the casual, cool way you paired it with other garments I have in my closet. Thank you so much🥰🥰🥰
I have no idea how I ended up on your channel. I had a 2 year old and 9 year old and a husband in the military. If I have time to change my underwear everyday it’s a win lol
I used to be obese , almost 250 pounds ( I’m 5.7) and I’m a Latina, used to nice weather from Izabal . Since moving to Germany and then Pennsylvania I was freezing every winter but didn’t dare to wear a teddy coat. Im 128 pounds now, wich took a year to achieve and I will definitely wear a super warm teddy coat this winter, lol . My husband actually really likes it too, he laughs about the fact that I chose to be cold to look a bit slimmer for so long. When it’s -15 Celsius I don’t care anymore and will want to just be warm. I agree with most things though that are said in this video.
Was some of that weight loss due to your body constantly shaking in order to keep warm in the new cool temperatures? 😉 Congratulations on getting healthier! 🥳🥂
Hi Anna, This is one of the best videos I've seen on fall clothes. I am a bit older and grew up during a different time. I realized after watching this that I do not wear a lot of the things you mentioned so I feel better. Looking forward to the next video. Thank you!
Could you please talk about what elegant language is to you or some elegant language rules? I hear lots of women say what’s up to men. Many might think of such language as too casual.
Elegant language, in my opinion, is about being eloquent in conversation, i.e. being able to express yourself in a way which is relatable and interesting. Being polite is part of it. However, an even more important factor is being well educated, informed and conversant in topics which interest you. Staying true to yourself and expressing even strong opinions is also elegant. You could learn to parrot many phrases suitable in polite company, however, if there is no substance and the conversation is empty, one becomes a dull companion and, while that may be elegant, it will not compel people to compete to sit next to that person at a dinner party.
Thanks Anna! Every time I see a teddy coat or a cargo jacket, I am attracted to textures and colors. But every time I try them on (even the highest quality), it takes down my whole look, makes me look really plain, so I never end up byuing those.
Great tips. I’m glad someone said it. As a creative director I would never disrespect fashion that way. It’s not about what u you wear but how u wear it.

Karman Jane, that is not the point Anna Bey is talking about. Look at the point..🙏🤲⚘🎶🎷😊
Personality , self esteem and body language speaks volumes regardless of what you wear.

It is about clothes and attitude. Both.
I totally agree with your comment. This lady have something against people who is not skinny. Watching this video was a totally waist of my time.

For any ladies watching, "basic" is actually a style aesthetic (also mine) so definitely don't feel discouraged. It also depends on how old you are, where you live, what the "style culture" is like there, etc. For instance, the skinny jeans and Chelsea boot combo is my go-to church outfit; it's comfortable, casual yet classy, not crazy and not lazy, and it makes me happy, which is all that matters!
It’s been a classic look for 10 years for a reason.
It is not a classy look! Not for the middle classes.
I wear dresses or skirts to church, I developed a great passion for vintage clothing and the music, so slowly started collecting here and there 30s-50s it’s like playing dress up but it’s not costume just part of my style!
I wear skinny jeans, a blouse, and a moto jacket for Devil worship. It's a dressy casual look that works!

She says all that while wearing a purple sweater with her bright red nail polish 😂 I can tell this lady is the type to judge people as she walks down the street lol
A Malik, you think our Princess of Wales isn't elegant?
Look appropriate for every activity...My Grandma used to say this and now Mom preaches this.
Couldn't have said it better!
Those were the days!
Wow, you're gorgeous 😍😍😍
How true
Until "every activity" becomes me wanting to snatch off my heels so I can do sporty stuff lol
Wear something practically affordable, comfortable, made you feel special and beautiful in your own eyes.
right! even just to be clean is enough
@@lilinew9453 yes, but not enough to be considered elegant. Elegant requires more than just a bare minimum of being clean.
Bingo
@@NATE2905 Not really. Audrey Hepburn is a perfect example of just to be clean cut and simple.
@@irinaivanovic9792 elegance is clearly a subjective matter
I don’t think any clothes can make a person can look elegant. Either you are or you’re not. It’s a soul thing. It comes from inside. Try to match your wardrobe to your personality instead or it will look off. If you’re the girl next door be that a 100% wear jeans and a t-shirt you will be authentic and you will be respected.
I guess her content is not for everyone. It is for people who need to look polished in their workplace or what is more controversial the ladies who want to attract 'affluent men'.
It does not suit my lifestyle either, I love and will wear a lot of the things mentioned in the video but dress elegant when I need to (which for now is rather rare). I pop in here from time to time but I really dislike how she mispronounces some words lmao.
Yes, the right close can make you look elegant. Trust me ;). Anyone can look good 👍.
@@anetabrlikova8454 it depends what each person thinks is elegant… your dress in your picture would not pass elegant for me.
Also Anna’s clothes, for instance I don’t fancy jumper she is wearing in this video. So to say what is elegant and what is not is not that clear cut.
For sure, too revealing clothes are not elegant for me, nor are too flashy, like big brands, visible logos..
So to each their own, even when it comes to elegance.
@@adk5997 Of course, I knew someone is going to comment my profile picture with something bitter hahaha. I only said, that right clothes can make you elegant. 😏
Read again what I said, if you still don't get it.
I did not say : " I think I look elegant in my profile picture"( Although, I think I look great there, ;))
Please, do not misinterpreted my comments.
Have a great day!
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Im short, petite, slim and curvy.
I love a teddy coat and the boxy shape and feel good in clothes that dont hug my shape. If I feel good thats all I care about.
I think your videos are more about attracting a man with feminine attire rather than wearing what you want and making it work for your body.
I think all clothes can work and if you feel good you walk confident and that is then projected.
I’ve resisted this channel for so long and now I’m binging videos. None of the content is disrespectful at all and I am really learning a lot. These fashion tips truly are spot on.
Anna actually says what our mothers used to tell us all the time, I think these advices are universal across time, culture, religion and race. My Asian Indian mom wouldn't approve of all that she doesn't approve of as well! I used to hate her advice, accuse her that she is making me look like grandma. But I think she only was making me look graceful and I was trying to pull off signature looks which was at the end making me look uncultured!
Yes. And it's tricky because we want, when we're young to strike out on our own and be supported while still be given distance and if there's any trauma then that throws off everything.
@@danielleleclair7506 can you explain What do you mean?
I swearr i said the same thing!! And i used to think my mom had no clue of what she was saying
Exactly!
Ikr!

It really depends on the area you are from that affects your style. For example, in the southern part of the US it is VERY hot during the spring, summer, and fall (especially the summer). That's why, if you go there during this time of the year, you will see a lot of people wearing not very "fashionable" clothing. We are literally MELTING from the heat! We tend to lean towards your basic styles, because they tend to be cooler and easier to wear in sweltering temperatures.
Thank you. Yes. It can be humid and almost 90 in November in Texas. I’ve even worn shorts on Christmas Day.
Elegance is not about the clothe you wear or how you wear it, its all bout attitude, personality, respect to yourself and others
Wrong, buy yourself a dictionary lol. This video is about how to dress elegantly, not about your personality etc.
The Teddy coat is great for a cozy look. I will never give up mine
You do you girlfriend 😘
I love mine too! It feels like I’m wearing a cloud. I don’t really care what people think, as long as I’m comfy and feel good. ❤️😍
I love mine too, it keeps me warm 😃
@@christinecho779 don't improve yourself
Good for you!!
I love mine too!
I have upgraded myself & life SO MUCH since I started binge watching your videos (it was much needed I do so).
1) I invested in some beautiful quality garments, 2) I decluttered my house, 3) I got rid of a man that was wasting my time & energy, 4) I'm loving myself & doing self care again. This is just the beginning, I have long ways to go. But I am confident that by upgrade my life, my inner world and the way I present myself and show up in life, I will attract a great man who will respect me, be proud of me and take good care of me (I do have my own business that i am passionate about and I continue with it). Thank you Anna. You were the boost I needed. This is so much more than just living an affluent life, it's a self care and regeneration from head to toe, and inside out ! Plus the finer things in life 🙏❤ I'm thankful and grateful ❤💕💕
Can I ask why he was wasting your time and energy? Was he not serious about you?
I just KNOW this one is going to call out my high school stuff. The American rural south can be brutal with the cheap-looking trends at times.
When I was working with the public, I noticed that there were different popular styles for different social classes.
Yes, like the cold shoulder look done present day is an example.
@@mmthomas3729 Absolutely yes. After watching the video, I realize that I didn’t fall victim to as many of these trends as I thought. I guess I was always anti-trend in high school and wanted everything to be “normal” so I don’t look ridiculous in any of these items but I also don’t stand out.
@@nancydegrassi5151 I hate cutouts of any kind but especially on the shoulders or on the waist of skater dresses
Elegant ladies in the southern hemisphere watching this and taking notes : ✍👁👄👁
lmaooo
I haven't seen those hideous teddy coats in New Zealand, thank goodness. They look to be made from synthetic fabric which doesn't tick the sustainability box.
Girl 😂 we'll look elevated next autumn
😂😂
@@denisegore1884 we've got plenty of other hideous things women wear here though!
As a Canadian, I will never not wear plaid in fall.
Then this channel is not for you my dear
@@EccoLivingLife no need to be extreme. They can follow other rules
same its part of our culture
As a Canadian, I will never ever wear plaid in fall, winter, spring or summer 😅
@@jennspth2freedom noone says you have to- fellow Canadian here🙂😎
Tip #2 is so spot on. I bought this coat a few months ago, wore it to dinner, but didn’t realize until looking at the single photo of the night: I looked three times my size. I have not worn it since.
Thanks for the smile 🤗
They look like the coat ate you!
Only Carrie Bradshaw could wear a coat like this contrasting with the naked dress, so everyone looking at her would not think of the coat. And it’s a fairy tale, in reality, not so many women are Carrie-shaped and Carrie-perfect so as addition of a size or a two won’t mess up the impression.
I just tested out one of Anna's thoughts about pinterest, and sure enough when I looked up fall fashion 2022 I got the skinny jeans and booties, the big scarves, the monster boots, the plaid, the oversized coats and sweaters etc.. these super tired looks have been around for over half a decade! So boring and cheap looking! Anna is so right!
...and I'm sitting here, in my cargo jacket, knitting my big scarf 😂
And guess what it’s ok. I love cargo jacket , leggings, and booties. I think some of her rules are unrealistic
@@fashionandluxury101 It also depends where you live. If you live in a large city, those clothes would look out of place but are perfectly fine in the country or in a small town. Cargo jacket is good for hiking so you can keep your hands free but bring little things you will need.
You’re going to look fine, and those clothes make you happy, I think most things she says are ridiculous…she forgets we wanna be comfy and happy even if we’re not Elegant or on trend…..
😂😅Knit away!
@@artwithmamafairybreadd You seem to be on the wrong channel, dear. This is for women who want to be elegant and upgrade their lifestyles. You might prefer the prepper and survivalist channels.
Major side note: Anna, have you ever thought about doing a funny story time series or perhaps reacting to fashion faux pas? You are HILARIOUS without even trying to be 😂
Her pretension is always hilarious! Be true to yourself. Life's too short to do anything else.
Agree 🤣🤣🤣🤣
YES I would love to see this!!! She really is effortlessly hilarious! Her reactions always make me laugh. She has so much knowledge, so we'd learn while getting entertainment! ❤
Anna can react to my fashion faux pas. I'm imperfect and have lots of them. I'm unemployed and overweight too, so she can tell me how my look is cheap and what a fashion and body wasteland I am. There's nothing like women supporting women! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
At 7:32 is where she totally had me 😂😂😂
I do the boot and skinny jeans outfit a lot with a nice chunky sweater or a nice jacket or cardigan. Men still approach me left & right - and I’m no supermodel but I could give one a run for her money! I feel that as long as your hair is done, your makeup is good, your nails are neat and 🧼 clean, you smell good, and you smile...you will radiate a sensual, feminine aura that men cannot resist even if you’re wearing a trash bag. 😉😉😉
Who has ever met a man in a trash bag? That's what I want to know. 🤦♀️😂
I would not think this way or dress up to look just a sex object to attract opposite sex for sex . In fact I dress up to look good, to feel good. It's about me just myself. Sadly many woman only think sex object about themselves. We should value ourself.
Agreed 👍
@@manikchand7385try it though it’s fun.
It’s fine if you like basics. Wear what you like and if others don’t like it oh well. As long as YOU feel beautiful in it. This world is forever judging anyway, people wear what you like. We are not all suppose to look alike. Fashion and Style are two different things.
Lol I see those boots everywhere, even in my closet
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂sooo funny
I got so mortified when I saw them 😱. Because I just got a pair myself. Makes me just want to go return them tomorrow hahahaha…
😂😂
@@Voidzlover no! YOU like them and that’s the ONLY advice you should take.
Anna can you please make us a video how to dress for fall/winter the proper way? Like an updated version. Especially how to combine ankle boots and overknee boots. Footwear during fall/winter in general. Really need this! Thank you for your great videos! You are a true inspiration
There is one already! Posted last year
She said at the end of the video that is her next video
@@vanessajayde she didn't make any such videos.
@@intika4530 I know I have been waiting for it :(
Totally agree about the Teddy coat being incredibly unflattering - cozy yes but does no one any favors!
Imo, to each their own as long as you are comfortable and feel good with what you wear …
I bought a ivory color teddy coat from aritzia and I got it tailored and now I’m obsessed with it. I didn’t want to get rid of the coat because it was boxy because it’s so practical for winter weather in New Jersey.
She is completely wrong on the Teddy coat!!! I've had my Max Mara since 2014. It's alpaca and silk. So warm. Indestructible! It's an icon! That's why it's been a staple of the house since 2013. Shearling dominated the runway this fall. Coats shoes and bags.
I even dont watch TV because I learn more from youtube. You are like a bigger sister for me who gives advices that I need❤️❤️❤️
It'd have been better if the alternatives were concentrated more. Because we can focus on the better outfits and get inspirations too🥰
Agreed
Doubly agreed
true!!!!
Agreed and she never made the video she promised for alternatives even though she said it would be her next video.
The thing is that most of these clothes are ok for your high school and univercity/college years and the remain in our closets because they're comfy , plain and easy
They are perfectly fine but they dont show any progress
It has to be practical. College professor or college students won’t be wearing Balmain jackets everyday. It’s not practical. ❤️
Its ok to go with child to playground,walk dig,work in garden,run for quick shop for groceries, sit next to fire. For the rest activities, NO
Living in a warmer climate, where we have a warm or hot Fall season, we do not wear many of the cold weather items. It's a "one season" climate -- warm and humid most of the year. But, if you're traveling or visiting a cooler Fall climate, I wholeheartedly agree with the tips given by Anna.
Certain types of sandals look terrible and flip flops 🩴
@@lmusima3275 - Yes; flip-flops are more appropriate for pool & beach wear (or when gardening). Also, I think open-toed shoes should never be worn unless the feet have been tastefully pedicured.
I've lived in both warm and cold climates and depending on the weather it also dictates what's needed. If you're going to be outside in 30 below weather making sure your jacket isn't bulky isn't always an opion. And when you live where it's around 80 F in the winter and you're on a beach you're not going to wear closed footwear.
✍️ Point no. 10 - When going outside, don't forget to put on pants . Got it 😅 In these post lock down times you never know actually, I might need a reminder
@@edennis8578 I was horrified to discover that I wore my slippers to a doctor's appointment!
As someone with a Max Mara Teddy in beige for apres-ski purposes…. Oh, well 🤦🏼♀️
I find I can make it look almost elegant if I pair it with my usual classic style. It’s all in the styling and colour.
Unfortunately, wool/cashmere coats just don’t cut it in -40 degree weather for me, even with layering.
P.s. North American ladies, if you’re looking at Max Mara (The Manuela is really quite elegant), try either buying it yourself in Europe or having a friend do so… excellent quality that lasts a lifetime for almost 3/4 of the NA retail price. 💕
exactly! in places like Canada or Norway chic goes out of the window but warmth is essential
I think the teddy coat can look sooo chic! Definitely didn’t agree with a lot of Anna’s points in this video.
I also own a Teddy coat, and I find it very elegant when styled appropriately ... I think it’s way better then a puffer and it a great alternative for people ho don’t want to wear fur jackets or puffer jackets when it’s very cold. I agree whit Anna that a very difficult piece to style an the quality counts because it might look very cheap but I think I will keep being elegant event with my teddy !!! I just try to style it as a fur coat and it works!
I love the Teddy coat! I did a winter coats video styling it and in my opinion it looks very elegant. As you say when worn in a classic way x
I love how Anna just said no to the whole american conservative pumpkin spice fall season outfit
😂 I just spit my pumpkin spicy latte! jK, will never drink that aberration of a drink.
I noticed that 🤣
@@morenia20 Just think about how lame it is that you judge someone based on what they like to drink 🥴
I find it so odd that this woman makes videos of how to look elegant yet her hair screams cheap, outdated, overtly bleached early 2000s style. I just want to give her hair a complete makeover to make it look more natural. Nothing screams trashy like bleach blonde hair. The tight curls at the bottom are also terrible and old fashioned.
@@morenia20 You are so different. Not like the other girls🙄
Love this sweater on you! I agreed with you on almost all the points you made. You gave good tips on what to do instead. The more I get to know you through this channel, the more I tend to agree with and appreciate your insights.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this woman!! In today’s world where SOOOO many people are afraid of offending others, they dim their opinions and don’t let their individuality shine. This woman right here is 110% her and some people will love her and some won’t. I have a feeling she does not care. She is 110% a FANTASTIC role model for girls and women. Do I agree with her all the time, no. But I would never want her to change. Keep being you Anna!
Anna, that lilac shade from your sweater looks so gorgeous on you!!! It's such a beautiful color .
Anna, can you please do a video on how to be elegant while living an active lifestyle? What clothing is appropriate in the gym? What types of fitness or activity-related photos are flattering to post on social media? Is it worth it to attend an elite gym?
Yes please!!! Need some guidance on this!!! Hate tacky workout clothes!!
I love how she emphasizes on dressing for your body type, ❤️❤️
I love it when you say “it looks weird”. You can’t completely describe what makes it weird but we know it when we see it.
Anna, you always make me smile with your comments! By the way, i agree completely.
Cheers from Argentina 🇦🇷

At first I thought you are very mean. But after watching a few videos, I started to be obsessed watching. What you’ve said really make sense actually
You hit the nail on the head. All these things needed to be said. Thank you so much Anna for being the voice that needs to be heard!

I agree with almost everything here- with 1 exception- open Toe Shoes 🙂 I was born and raised in a cold country, where open toe shoes are a novelty for only a couple months out of the year. Now I live in South Texas. It’s sunny and warm here most months of the year, and I celebrate my open toe shoes as often as possible. With a little thought, and the appropriate climate, they can work in any season❤️
Same in South Florida
I can see how that makes sense, in such a warm place. I'm Canadian, I live on the freezing cold Canadian prairies, where open-toed shoes would only make sense in the summer, but in a warmer place, I can see how it makes sense pretty much year-round.
Well Hello my Fellow Canadian! The 'cold country I was referring to in my OP is Canada! I was born and raised in Alberta! Lived on Vancouver Island before moving down here to South Texas many years ago! I love my open toed shoes, but I do kindof miss wearing boots for longer than a day or 2 in February! You have that advantage for sure! Stay warm my friend! @@Julia-nl3gq
I love Anna, she is so beautiful and charming and elegant. I trust her recommendations, she knows what she is talking about. Loyal fan here.
LOL, I love my teddy coat! It's a basic shape, hip length, a notched collar, usable pockets and it's a pretty blush rose in a nicely nubby texture. I always get compliments and never feel silly wearing it. The scarf I use with it is a rose, taupe and cream tartan and not bulky in the least. But I do agree with the examples you showed. You know your stuff!
Plaid shirt worn under a denim jacket is a good, causal weekend look especially on an autumn trip to the Alps.
Kay Getaway, good evening how are you doing?
agreed. it’s very cute.
Oregon vibes. I love Oregon's forests
The ideal outfit to go outside and chop some wood!
Looks very cheap
I would love to see images on how to wear items in a better way. Like the booties in number one. Do you mean wide leg trousers? What about with skirts?
She shows us in her other fall video!
Booties aren't flattering with skirts because they visually chop your leg. Better hidden under long trousers.
This video could also be titled “How not to be basic in fall”. I love it 🥰
I’m not necessarily elegant, but I hate being basic
Agreed I am guilty of the knee highs with jeans/leggings. When I am trying not to be basic i switch it up add a belt and nice high heeled knee high boots. I don’t feel basic anymore. Always add some pizazz if you don’t want to look basic. Plus if your hair, nails are done in an elegant way you are already not basic. It’s the whole vibe y’all you can bring elegance to any style it’s how you carry yourself. Have fun with your clothes just have elegance as the underlying theme.

Thanks Ana for the reality check ! We are all guilty of becoming too invested in a look which we convince ourselves looks great, but lacks alternative perspective... I'm tall and slim but am long-waisted and have learnt the hard way to keep the bottom half consistent when wearing black tights.
It is hard sometimes to follow her advise , I am a salon owner cosmetologist and barber, but I still try, and I love her !

Dear elegant Anna: the word "plaid" is pronounced /plahd/. Please accept this tiny pointer as a token of gratitude for all you have helped me with.
Her English is excellent but if you seldom hear certain words pronounced you might not know. Plaid rhymes with GLAD. I know it is spelled like you'd pronounce it 'played.' I'm glad English is my native tongue because it would be hell to learn!

You should do more demonstrations for all body types with actual model's and full warobes. And lux for less, where to shop on a budget for luxury elegant looks. And luxury home decor!
That would be so helpful.
Yes yes 🤍
She has already made some of these videos
Omg, Anna’s thought comment “she’s going to get a bladder infection” when seeing women wear sweater dresses that are inappropriately short. 😂😂😂
this channel cracks me up......I watch it occassionally because it is an entertaining oxymoron
I had flashbacks to my mother when Anna talked about getting a bladder infection 😆
I...i had this feeling too. When i was a student and i was going to supermarket i saw a woman wearing nude tights with somewhat medium length dark blue dress and i thought shes insane man, it was freezing february...!!
Oh man, in the pacific northwest of the U.S. you can see all these in one look.
I dont understand why people get triggered by Anna's videos. If you like flannel shirts, teddy coat, and those boots then wear it. If you aren't into the whole elegant style 24/7 why even care if you love those pieces. Dont feel insecure and react. if you love those pieces so much dont feel insecure about what other people say about your wardrobe. No matter what style you wear or how perfect you look people will have a positive or negative opinion on your style.
Not with the flannel or plaid. I love it. It is cozy and just good, especially if the cloth used is good
about the plaid shirts: some people, including myself, like wearing them for a casual and comfy look. and we like how it’s a little more masculine. masculine isn’t the bad thing, it’s the expectation how women are expected to wear one thing and men another. clothes don’t have gender and a women looking more masculine isn’t a bad thing. people who don’t always try to look elegant like these plaid shirts because they are easy to throw on and can be dressed up a little :)
Great tips! I would add to this a suggestion about the sweater as a dress situation: if you can add a belt to the sweater and it still covers everything, you can wear it as a dress, but if you add a belt and it loses enough length to show everything. Forget it.
I feel attacked with this video 🤣❤️
Elizabeth Young, good evening how are you doing?
I had a the teddy bear coat in brown in winter 2019 I brought at Target for the company holiday party and I took a picture with my co-workers and I was horrified on how I look! Everything you stated on the teddy bear coat is true and sold it on Poshmark. I was trying to look like a Max Mara ad and it failed
I sold my too.. useless too big and not comfortable and giving 20 kg more
I feel ya...it looks so bulky too
Because Teddy is for skinny people only
😂 awwww
I love Max Mara Teddy, but I am not so skinny anymore I used to be. So I don't use it anymore.
I'm a young sixties. Have a lot of everything (4 closets) and always wear the same thing. I also sew. I love layering and you are great with ensembles. I look forward to more of your terrific videos. This is my new style now. I hadn't worn my pinstripe palazzos in a long time. I usually wear them with a body suit (don't know where I sat that) but I love the casual, cool way you paired it with other garments I have in my closet. Thank you so much🥰🥰🥰
I have no idea how I ended up on your channel. I had a 2 year old and 9 year old and a husband in the military. If I have time to change my underwear everyday it’s a win lol
I agree with the teddy coat. You cannot make that rag look expensive.
I agree. It looks like something one would see on an unfortunate homeless person.
I used to be obese , almost 250 pounds ( I’m 5.7) and I’m a Latina, used to nice weather from Izabal . Since moving to Germany and then Pennsylvania I was freezing every winter but didn’t dare to wear a teddy coat.
Im 128 pounds now, wich took a year to achieve and I will definitely wear a super warm teddy coat this winter, lol . My husband actually really likes it too, he laughs about the fact that I chose to be cold to look a bit slimmer for so long. When it’s -15 Celsius I don’t care anymore and will want to just be warm.
I agree with most things though that are said in this video.
Was some of that weight loss due to your body constantly shaking in order to keep warm in the new cool temperatures? 😉 Congratulations on getting healthier! 🥳🥂
Izabal, Guatemala?
@@yeimisagastume3463 yes. We lived in a small town there near Livingston.
Hi Anna, This is one of the best videos I've seen on fall clothes. I am a bit older and grew up during a different time. I realized after watching this that I do not wear a lot of the things you mentioned so I feel better. Looking forward to the next video. Thank you!
I am young (27) and also happen to not be wearing any of these items. Just not my style 💁
About the Chelsea boot, the ones you are showing us are just ankle boots. Chelsea is elasticized at the sides, without a zipper..
This all screams 2010's fashion. We wore these things in Highschool 😂
Seriously 😅
Yeah. Nobody dresses like this anymore.
@@a.sydney5036 you'd be surprised lol
@@a.sydney5036 nobody dresses in skinny jeans, boots and flannels anymore?? Are you sure about that?
Fashion from 2010 and from today is almost the same with very few differences.
Could you please talk about what elegant language is to you or some elegant language rules? I hear lots of women say what’s up to men. Many might think of such language as too casual.
How do you do? is the best
Language ettitquette when you search it up there is lots of books or videos or articles Xx
Elegant language, in my opinion, is about being eloquent in conversation, i.e. being able to express yourself in a way which is relatable and interesting. Being polite is part of it. However, an even more important factor is being well educated, informed and conversant in topics which interest you. Staying true to yourself and expressing even strong opinions is also elegant. You could learn to parrot many phrases suitable in polite company, however, if there is no substance and the conversation is empty, one becomes a dull companion and, while that may be elegant, it will not compel people to compete to sit next to that person at a dinner party.
i think it depends, which men? if workplace and there is no true friendship between them then whats up is not the best
I say this :)
Thanks Anna! Every time I see a teddy coat or a cargo jacket, I am attracted to textures and colors. But every time I try them on (even the highest quality), it takes down my whole look, makes me look really plain, so I never end up byuing those.
@Ellie Therre is
I agree with all....but I still love my plaid shirt so much. So I add a nice belt on it, et voila!
Great tips. I’m glad someone said it. As a creative director I would never disrespect fashion that way. It’s not about what u you wear but how u wear it.
