The Elegant style personality: why less really is more
Have you ever met someone who looks completely put together without ever seeming to try? That's often the Elegant style personality.
When I teach this one, I start with the mindset, because you need to think like an Elegant to dress like one.
Quality over quantity. A few beautiful pieces rather than a lot of cheap trinkets. The real thing, or the best she can afford, and never a copy. She tends to choose classics over fads.
Here's how that shows up in her wardrobe:
โข Beautifully tailored, structured, semi-fitted pieces in modest lengths
โข Medium to low contrast, with no more than one to three colours, even in a print
โข Accessories that are quality and well coordinated, never glittery
โข Less is more, every time
There's also an unhurried assuredness to the way an Elegant moves. Nothing looks forced.
It's a look so many people tell me they aspire to. Understanding the why behind it makes it much easier to guide a client towards it.
Are you an Elegant, or do you aspire to be one? Tell me in the comments.
