    Anna, thank you for educating me on linen years ago. The majority of my summer wardrobe is linen and it is fantastic for keeping me cool and looking a bit elevated (much classier than a cotton t-shirt). I also find it very disrespectful when tourists wear inappropriate attire in places of worship. We should think of ourselves as representatives of the country, city or town we are from when traveling, so dress well.

    Ladies, wear modest clothes and do not be afraid of the heat. The more you cover the body, the more it will be protected from the direct heat of the sun. And she's right, the choice of material is the most important. This is a sincere advice of a veiled girl from a country where the temperature in the summer rises to 45 degrees. Your speech is very wonderful and sane Anna.

    It’s such a myth that wearing less clothing in the heat makes you cooler!

    Love the point about churches, unfortunately this common sense and courtesy is not so common! It's also important to note that in many of the bigger cathedrals in Europe, the staff will not let you enter if you are wearing inappropriate clothing and they may ask you to buy a covering for the duration of your visit - i've seen this many times. So it's better to be respectful and prepared rather than be embarrassed at the entrance!

    I think linen is seen differently in different cultures, because I was raving about how posh linen looks to my friend from Indonesia and she said in her culture linen is mostly worn by the servants and help staff of rich families. I was a little bit surprised, but it makes sense as it's a hardy, rough and cooling material that's perfect for work attires in the tropics.

      What bothers me that her perception of elegant is very outdated. And I agree that wearing nicer outfits even while traveling is nice, it’s just that it can be variety of different styles. For example in Paris or Berlin her outfits would look very touristy. It’s not how people dress there. So you also have to consider where you are going to maybe fit in the general vibe better.

    I try not to dress up or look “expensive” as a tourist. I try to blend in with the locals as much as possible. Many places I visit are impoverished (but very beautiful) countries. As such, the people are poor and need only an excuse to mug you or worse. Leave jewellery at home and don’t look “expensive” unless you want to be a target. PS pants and leggings are harder to remove if someone attacks or attempts to r*pe you. Function over fashion unless you’re vacationing on a private yacht! Please

Besides they were far from being attractive. Although young moms do carry them when they have little ones because it leaves both their arms free, understandable. I am always thinking, wallet, phone, comb, lipstick, compact, and wonder if it all fits in the small bags? I love the look of linen. The blue linen dress looked stunning on you. Thank You Anna. And please keep expounding on NO leggings and athletic and athleisure wear, and running, shoes, It looks boring, everyone and their aunt is wearing them, looks unoriginal, all look the same, and plain, NO one, dressed like that stands out for looking beautiful and classy in a sea of leggings.

    Thank you for yet more wonderful advice, Anna! I especially loved how your emphasize wearing appropriate clothes for places of worship.
    I agree that linen and A-line dresses are a fabulous summer choice. I'm not so keen on sneakers with dresses--flats or canvas shoes with foot support tend to be a more flattering and upscale combination, especially for those of us who are not long-legged.
    Thank you again for helping to make the world a more graceful place!

    Thank you! I am so tired of women wearing work out gear literally everywhere! I agree, wearing revealing clothes in churches and cathedrals just make you look ignorant!
    Your advice about elevated warm weather looks was spot on. To a summer festival I recently attended, I wore a sleeveless white blouse (tip: wear it buttoned lower than the right button, use a small 🧷 safety pin to secure the low cut look) and high wasted skirt in a beautiful red and gold print fabric…giving leg, carrying a fabulous bag and well chosen jewelry, and my big shades. I stood out from the booty shorts, tank top wearing women. My upscale look pulled a fine looking well-heeled Man. We had a great afternoon listening to the live performances and talking. We have been spending time ever since. First impressions! 😉

    It took over 20 years but I literally cleared out all my clothes and bought more things that fit a capsule wardrobe. So more high-end pieces that mix and match in more neutral colours, silks, satins, mohair for Winter and all Linen for Summer! I avoid fast fashion now if possible just as it clogs up my wardrobe and I only usual get a few wears before it starts to fade and fall apart! YES it took time to get a good wardrobe, swapping that £40 H&M dress for a £130 one from Ghost, but now I have invested in it, I rarely need anything else. I swear by the brand Ghost London!

    In summer, for me the perfect shoes to go around are espadrilles, with a medium wedge, around 4 or 6cm. Or also sandals with a modest wedge too, it's so confortable without giving up the feeling of nice footwear. That's my advice. And it goes with everything!

If we are spending lots of money to go on vacation it's not worth it to have sore feet.

    Anna, I am so happy that I found your channel! As a 16-year-old who loves dressing elegantly and just elegance in general, I really appreciate your tips.
    Ever since I'm watching your videos, I pay even more attention to small details. Whenever I walk into a fast fashion store, I feel like I am a quality controller 😅 and most of the times I walk out of the store disappointed mainly because of the quality of the garments, but at least I'm not spending my money on something that's not worth it.
    I feel very confident and refined in elegant clothes, however, I didn't really have the courage to wear them on regular school days because I felt like I would look so different from others.
    I did it like twice though, (I was like: "I don't care, I don't need to fit in, I'm gonna put on an elegant outfit today because I'm in the mood for it and won't care about what others think") and guess what? I got quite a few compliments from my classmates (and even from some of my teachers) about my outfit and how much it suits me.
    Also, once I was wearing an elegant outfit when I was shopping with my mom, and at some point she asked: Do you notice how many people take a look at you? I had no idea.
    This does not mean though that I'm gonna give up on wearing regular everyday clothes, but I'm gonna dress elegantly if I feel like it. 🤍
    This shows how outstanding elegant people are, so ladies, wear those clothes if you want because you'll shine in them!
    (and I'm not saying this negatively, I don't want to be rude by any means, you can be outstanding in any outfit if you are being yourself, by outstanding I mean that nowadays not so many people dress this way, therefore it might stand out a little 🤍 + elegance is more about personality, being kind to others and handling every situation with class, but I really do like the way elegant people dress as well!)
    greetings from Hungary 🤍

So jump right off into the caldera.
