The authoritative publication The Business of Fashion published an annual report on the state of the fashion industry at the moment and shared the conclusions that many guessed: in 2020 we spent less on shopping, but at the same time, when choosing things, we were more concerned with our own comfort than with trends. Even if this year became a symbol of remote work and extremely poor social life, the concept of elegance has not disappeared, but, on the contrary, has expanded: we want to look elegant always, even when we wear sneakers and sportswear.

Elegance right now is not about high heels and scarves with designer logos like in the 2000s. Modern elegance is close to the concept of intellectual minimalism, which is followed by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Victoria Beckham, and it is definitely not about prohibitions in the spirit of “sneakers I will never wear”, but about little tricks in combinations. Like, for example, carrying a bag in your hands, even if it has a strap, or tucking your shirt nicely into jeans to make your look look neat. And also proudly straighten your back, wear natural expensive fabrics more often, know your winning styles and wear your favorite diamonds and white things not only on holidays. Contemporary elegance is also about self-love, which you can easily learn.

Thin silk looks so elegant “under the cover” of dense gray wool – you look so defenseless and at the same time confident. In winter, under a silk dress of medium length, wear high boots, the top of which is hidden under the hem.

In it, you’ll remind yourself of a 1970s movie star heading out to a fashion festival. Do not overdo it with a vintage mood: let the hairstyle be smooth, not too fluffy, and shoes with small heels, and not on a platform, as was loved in that era.
Wear an ironed shirt under your jacket

This will add austerity and neatness to the image, even if the bottom layer is a regular T-shirt. An elegant layered top will look cool with straight skinny jeans or a high-waisted short skirt.
Coax yourself into white pants

Your choice – trousers or jeans, but not tight-fitting, but widening downward or along the entire length. Consult the weather forecast in advance: as soon as a warm dry day comes out, you can immediately put on a light bottom. For the top, choose a jacket or jacket made of similar material, or a beige sweater one size larger than your usual size.

Optional earrings and ring or bracelet and necklace – it can be two similar decorationsbut with a thoughtful design and concept. Think of a story for this pair of jewels: what is their meaning for you personally and how can you convey their meaning to those around you?
Wear hats and caps instead of caps

You have already heard about the elegance of wide-brimmed felt hats, and more than once. Black leather caps are an alternative for this fall and winter: they look pretty darn stylish, especially when paired with gold hoop earrings.
Find a dress with a square neckline

Your task is to find a neckline that exposes the collarbones more than the chest, otherwise there is a risk of slipping into vulgarity. Square-cut midi dresses were the ultra-feminine fashion stars of the 1950s and are in the mood to wear them today.
Buy Black Narrow Toe Ankle Boots

There is one pair of shoes that looks incredibly elegant, and even visually lengthens the legs, and these are Kate Moss’s favorite ankle boots – made of black leather or suede, with a pointed and slightly voluminous toe and a neat thin stiletto heel. Don’t settle for high heels, you should be comfortable in this pair! And buy yourself black tight pantyhose to wear new ankle boots with mini skirts in fall and winter.
Don’t wear low-waisted jeans

The high waistline magically creates the coveted hourglass silhouette. To enhance the impression, add a belt made of quality genuine leather. By the way, it’s okay if it matches the color of the shoes: there is a certain charm of elegance in this, since the devil of taste is hidden in the details.
Overdo it with jewelry

Modesty in jewelry is usually praised, but is large jewelry made of yellow gold or gilding the opposite of elegance? It is not always a matter of the number of jewelry, sometimes the image itself, in the absence of any attractive elements, literally requires adding details that will catch the eye. You do not scold the jacket for the presence of gold buttons, if there are five of them, and not one?
