How to be classy without being rich

In today's society, money seems to be the answer for everything one likes to achieve. There can be an argument about more spiritual things such as love and true happiness but when it comes to external appearance there seem to be no way out of it...is that really the reality? Do we all need to have money floating to look great?To answer that, I would like to point out a commercial that I have seen, which says: Fashion is not a Luxury; Very simple and in my opinion very true.One can definitely look fashionable and classy without spending lots of money and in the next paragraph I will explain exactly how.

In order to understand how to look classy without being rich, we need to first understand what is classy?

According to a few dictionaries on the web, classy is elegant and fashionable.
To these two aspects I would like to add a more spiritual aspect; an aspect, which costs nothing and is available for EVERYONE.

This side of classy contains two main parts: your BODY language and your VERBAL language.

A classy body language starts with the way you walk. Carry your feet properly - don't drag them! Keep your back straighten and most importantly - your head up. When you talk use your hands in a circular movement to create good environment around you.

Speaking of talking, a classy way of talking, or in other words, classy verbal language is first of all talking with calmness. If your words are meaningful - you should not have you yell for people to listen to you. By talking in an assertive but polite way your own words make you look classy in a heartbeat.

As mentioned before, Body language and Verbal language which are highly critical to being classy cost absolutely NOTHING!

Nonetheless, 'Classy' has also a materialistic aspect. That's that "fashionable/ elegant part". To be fashionable all you need to do is wear what makes you feel and look good. 'Feel' is the most critical thing as it will have a very powerful impact on your appearance. To look classy you need to feel classy - you need to feel comfortable with what you wear, with how your hair looks your make-up and everything external that is on your body. 'Fashionable' is first of all knowing what makes YOU feel YOU look at your best.

Once you establish the above, you can choose to wear any clothing, shoes or make up regardless of their brand name.
Remember - brand names are just that - names. You do not need other's reputation to build your own! Be your own Brand - create your own style and you will look and be truly classy.
