Well, while you may need to put in extra effort, it’s definitely achievable to look elegant with tattoos!

It’s true that even these days, many people may still think tattoos look trashy and not elegant.

But at the end of the day, there are many factors that determine whether your tattoos are classy or not.

Let’s not forget some of the classy women like Angelina Jolie and Selena Gomez; they have tattoos as well but still look stunning and polished!

Here are the 5 tips to look classy with tattoos, enjoy!

1. Beware of the meaning your tattoos convey

Let’s start with the basics, the meaning of your tattoos.

People get tattoos for different reasons.

Some want to look like a cool kid, some want to remember his/her life quote and religion, some want to honor a loved one who has passed away and for me, I want to use tattoos as a little decoration.

The message of your tattoos really matters tremendously.

After all, just like makeup, hairstyle, and outfit, the tattoo is another kind of explicit way to express your beliefs, values, and personality.

As the saying goes, dress like you want to be addressed.

If you want to look classy, then perhaps you should reconsider that skull or naked girl tattoo.

Always remember, tattoos are something that follows you the whole lifetime; make sure those tattoos are meaningful enough to empower you instead of making you feel insecure after 5 years!

I personally think the life quote tattoos, religious tattoos, and family tattoos are really classy and elegant; they stand for strength, love, and so much more!

2. TIMELESS tattoo design is key

Being classy is about being timeless and classic. As Karl Lagerfeld once said, “Trendy is the last stage before tacky.”

When it comes to your tattoos, make sure the design is always a timeless piece instead of a trendy piece.

Not kidding, but I saw people doing some food tattoos (like our beloved avocados and cheese) on their front arms, seriously?

It may look cute in your 20s, but when you are 50 and you look at the food tattoos, you may want to get rid of them.

Also, when it comes to classy design, typography does play a huge role as well.

Instead of choosing some trendy Instagram fonts, I think the classic script fonts will be a classic design that makes things look more polished.

Last but not least, always go for simple, low-key designs.

You don’t want to make the tattoos so big and too colorful that people shift their attention to the tattoos instead of you during the first meeting.

Having a tattoo can also be private and low-key instead of trying too hard.

An overwhelming tattoo, it makes people think you validate your value by showing the tattoos even if that’s not your intention.

So ladies and gentlemen, stay lowkey with your classy tattoos without trying too hard and that makes people notice even more!

3. Pay attention to the placement of tattoos

Alright, you chose a nice design tattoo with meaning, and now it’s time to pick the placements!

Of course, there’s no right or wrong when it comes to the placement of the tattoos.

It really depends from person to person, including your occupation.

While tattoos at work are not a big issue, some tattoo stereotypes still exist.

It’s always a good choice to place your tattoo in some less obvious spot to make things easier, like the inner arms, rib cage, waist, and shoulder back, so you can always hide your tattoo when you want to.

Trust me, you will love this flexibility.

I don’t think the face is a good placement even for simple elegant tattoos, this is a little bit too obvious and people will stare at your tattoos instead of looking at you in the eyes.

You just don’t need this distraction in the long term.

4. Wear an elegant outfit that flatters your tattoos

If you have a simple small tattoo on the upper arms, you don’t really have any restrictions when it comes to your outfits.

However, if you have large tattoos with colors, you may want to pay extra attention to the outfit including the colors.

For example, if your tattoo is green, wearing a pink dress may not be the best idea.

Here are some of the color combinations that don’t go well with each other:

• Red and green
• Green and pink
• Green and orange
• Purple and yellow
• Red and orange

Being classy is about being intentional about the details. Always go for low saturation (Choose emerald green instead of bright green) and classic color, this can give you a softer look that can balance out the strong vibes of the tattoos.

Also, picking an outfit that flatters your tattoos doesn’t mean you have to wear revealing!

Some people want to show off their tattoos on the chest, so they always dress in a low V cut, while this is totally understandable, it’s not classy if you dress too revealing.

Here’s one simple old rule: If you want to show your chest, don’t show your leg, and vice versa!

After all, looking classy is about taking a balance in everything; this makes you look more put together!

This is so random… BUT

1. Your body is a masterpiece that carries you through life’s journey—honor it with the love and respect it deserves.
2. Beauty has no single definition; you define what beauty means through your uniqueness and authenticity.
3. Your worth extends infinitely beyond your appearance—your kindness, strength, and spirit are what truly shine.
4. The space you occupy in this world is yours by right; never apologize for existing exactly as you are.
5. Your body tells the story of your life—every mark, curve, and change is a chapter of resilience and growth.
6. You deserve to speak to yourself with the same compassion and tenderness you would offer to someone you love.
7. Nourishing your body and soul isn’t selfish—it’s a necessary act of self-respect and care.
8. The parts of yourself you’ve been taught to hide may be exactly what makes you magnificently unique.
9. Your body is not a project to be fixed—it is a vessel for experiencing the fullness of life’s joys.
10. You are allowed to love yourself completely today, not when you reach some future version of yourself.

5. Take good care of your tattoo

Let’s not forget the basics: take good care of your tattoos, and make sure they are in good condition over time!

We all know that there are some life quotes tattoos that look truly stunning and elegant, but 5 years later, all the words are blurred, and all you are left is a mysterious dark spot on your shoulder and back that looks like dirt.

Well, that’s not classy at all!

If you are dedicated to having a tattoo, always do thorough research and look for a tattoo artist who delivers high-quality work.

Avoid friction and sunlight so as to keep your tattoo in nice condition.

Well, it’s not easy, but you will be proud when your tattoo looks decent after a decade!

In case still don’t have any SPF and tattoo care cream to keep it in good shape, below are my 4 handpicks!

That really makes a HUGE difference in the long term.

The post 🫨❗ 🖤How to look classy with tattoos? DO nothing before these 5 tips! appeared first on 𝐿𝒜𝒟𝒴 𝑅𝐸𝐹𝐼𝒩𝐸𝒮 ♥.

I don’t know about you but these days, the real gentleman seems a rare breed.

After all, cultivating a gentleman does involve a lot of time and effort.

In the past, there was a famous saying in Britain – “It takes three generations to make a gentleman.“

While these classy men are not easy to find, they do really exist. (YAY!)

That said, I’ve gathered 20 signs he is a chivalry gentleman.

It’s totally fine if you disagree with some of these as we all hold different standards.

Take it with a pinch of salt and enjoy!

1. He takes care of his look

He is always hygienic. He will keep his nails clean, trim his hair regularly for a fresh look, and dress according to the occasion.

Truly, maintaining appearance symbolizes manners and discipline.

While he may not wear the classic suit and oxford shoes 24/7, he is always looking put together and smart.

2. He always walks on the curbside

This sweet gesture will truly make a lady feel well-protected.

Someone may argue this is old school and I believe many ladies will appreciate that.

3. He is always punctual

A true gentleman knows this is a sign of respect for others.

In most cases, he may arrive 5 to 10 minutes earlier just in case.

4. He respect everyone

He knows that everyone has dignity and there’s no reason to look down on anyone.

Whether that’s his mother, a waiter in a restaurant, or a beggar on street, he shows kindness and respect.

5. He will always open the door to strangers

Especially for ladies. Yes, Ladies First is still a thing.

It takes 2 seconds to hold the door but guess what, this really makes a difference.

6. He will ask your permission before doing you a favor

Instead of helping you without asking, he will ask to take a step further and ask “Can I do this favor for you?”

Aw… I just feel like a princess.

7. Telephone manners

He is aware of the tone he is presenting and won’t leave the caller on hold for too long.

He will never sound distracted even if that’s just a phone call and last, he is also patient enough to let you hang up first.

8. He is articulate in his words

Speak at the right volume and right speed without saying “Um,” “Ah,” and “You Know” all the time.

A well-spoken man just exudes a sense of firmness and confidence.

8. Always say please, thank you, and excuse me

The courteous manner will never be too much.

9. He has a good firm handshake.

More often than not, a good handshake tells more than a title on a business card.

A gentleman always masters the first impression.

10. He will dress accordingly

It seems a no-brainer but trusts me, some guys wear T-shirts on every occasion.

Whether that’s a formal company event or a chill errand day.

Mark Zuckerberg has entered the chat.

11. A gentleman should remove his hat as he enters a building

This includes baseball caps, casual hats, and also sunglasses.

12. He knows he should pay if he invites her out

It’s always a chivalrous act to take care of the check for the first date.

If he is meticulous enough, he will also take an Uber for her.

13. He won’t tell his friends private details about that night with you

You know, the intimate details should be between you and him. He will never make you feel insecure in this way.

14. He gets his suit tailored

As Vincent Piazza said, “A custom-tailored suit retains a certain dignity about it”. It just set you apart from others.

That may not need to be a terribly expensive designer piece, but that has to be a high-quality tailored one that lasts you 10 years and more.

15. He makes you feel beautiful

A real man knows how to treat his lady right. He never talks down to her and instead, he makes sure his lady knows she is beautiful and perfect in his eyes.

Not only on birthday but every single day.

And when you smile, this is his source of happiness.

16. He takes pride in protecting others

A sense of chivalry is in his blood and he is proud of it.

17. He will accept and confess his mistakes

Accepting mistakes can be hard.

But a real man is big enough to admit his mistake and learn from it. He considers finding an excuse for the weak.

18. He has proper dining etiquette

You know…all the details like elbows off, knowing which utensils to use, eating slowly.

All these counts.

19. He put his phone into the pocket

He keeps his phone in his pocket when he is dining with you.

And if he is waiting for a work call or email, he will at least place his phone face down on the table to show his respect.

20. A true gentleman loves only one lady. PERIOD.

A gentleman will fight for one woman even if 99 others are chasing him.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

So here are the 20 signs he is a chivalrous gentleman. What do you think?!

I get it, you must now hopelessly think that this kind of classy man is too dreamy to exist in this world.

But guess what, if you have leveled up yourself as a classy lady, you will meet them at the end of the day. This is how the universe works!

This is really soothing when the beautiful quotes can express the profound thought in just a few words, that just really warms my heart.

So ladies, below are the quotes when it comes to the qualities of a good woman! 

Enjoy!

1. She is confident and she knows she is enough

A good woman doesn’t necessarily mean she is “obedient” like a doll at all, instead, a high-level woman is always confident and secure about herself.

Through all the life lessons, she now finally realizes everyone is perfect imperfection.

She stops comparing with others and stops validating her values through others.

She takes self-care and her goals as a priority and strives for betterment every day.

She understands the fact that confidence is sought from within.

So yes, she is confident all the time and that makes her look more attractive and irresistible.

Confidence is not ” They will like me”, confidence is “I’ll be fine if they don’t”

I can’t think of any better representation of beauty than someone who is unafraid to be herself.

Emma Stone

She believed she could, so she did.

Confidence is the ability to feel beautiful without needing someone to tell you.

Trust your intuition. You don’t need to explain or justify your feelings to anyone, just trust your own inner guidance, it knows best.

A strong woman looks a challenge in the eye and gives it a wink.

Gina Carey

2. She practices self-love and gives it a top priority

She recognizes that self-love is not a luxury but instead, a necessity in nowadays society.

It takes her some time to figure that out but she finally realizes self-love is more than affirmation, journaling, and facial time.

Self-love also means drinking less alcohol, sleeping earlier, getting rid of a toxic friend, and having her own hobbies.

In fact, practicing self-love is one of her interests too.

She put time and effort into nurturing herself into a better version and that’s an unstoppable journey.

After all, how you love yourself is teaching others how to love you.

The most important relationship is the one you have with yourself.

Love yourself first, so you know what you deserve.

How you love yourself is how you teach others to love you

Self love is the greatest middle finger of all time.

If you’re searching for that one person that will change your life, take a look in the mirror.

Strong women don’t play victim, don’t make themselves look pitiful, & don’t point fingers. They stand and they deal.

Mandy Hale

We all are perfectly imperfect and that’s perfectly alright

3. She never settles for less because she knows what she deserves

She never plays a victim mindset on how she is being treated.

She set her boundaries of how she should be treated.

Someone may think this is cockiness but she knows this is a value that she should stand for.

She also realized the harsh fact that women without boundaries will soon be women without respect.

So yes ladies, keep your standards high because you are teaching people how they should treat you.

If someone betrays you more than once, no more second chance!

Once a woman knows her worth, she will NEVER settle for less again.

You don’t find your worth in a man. You find your worth within yourself and then find a man who’s worthy of you. Remember that.

Respect yourself enough to say “I deserve better”

Know your worth, then add tax.

Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option.

The best revenge is no revenge. Move on. Be happy. Find inner peace. Flourish.

4. She uplifts other women cause girl power is a real thing

She always thought uplifting other women was one of the most powerful and beautiful things.

She is so over all sorts of drama happening between girls and comparing herself to other ladies.

When she comes across the ladies who don’t fully realize their full potential and value, she knows it’s her time to uplift them.

After all, it’s kind of boring to be powerful alone.

When all of the women realize their worth, the power is unstoppable.

Real queens fix each other’s crowns.

A real woman doesn’t have to throw dirt on another females name to feel more secure about herself.

Amazing things happen when women help other women

Kasia Gospos

A flower does not think of competing with the flower next to it. It just blooms.

Zen Shin

She remembered who she was and the game changed.

Lalah Deliah

5. She can be endurant as giving up simply is not an option

As much as it’s so cliche hard things just don’t come easy.

For the things that she knows it’s worth pursuing, she just never stops.

She may cry during the journey, but she also feels the most alive when she conquers her goals.

After all, winners are not those who never fail, but those who never quit.

Life is tough my darling, but so are you.

Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another steppingstone to greatness.

Oprah Winfrey

I am working on myself, for myself, by myself.

You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress.

Sophia Bush

Be the change that you wish to see in the world.

Mahatma Gandhi

Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams.

After all, if she never give up, she will never fail.

6. She may not be the trendiest but she is for sure elegant and timeless

She knows the truth that trendy is the last stage before tacky so she never blindly follows all the trends out there.

After all, a classic bag is always more worth investing in than a seasonal version.

Looking timeless and elegant is more than wearing pearl earrings and a little black dress, it’s the simplicity, the wisdom, and the art of life that makes a woman look sparkling.

Dress shabbily and they remember the dress dress impeccably and they remember the woman.

Coco Chanel

Elegance is not being noticed, it’s about being remembered.

Luxury is a matter of money. Elegance is a question of education.

Sacha Guitry

Elegance must be the right combination of distinction, naturalness, care and simplicity.

Christian Dior

Elegance is the only beauty that never fades.

Audrey Hepburn

Pretty is an accident of nature. Elegance is a self-created work of art.

7. She is effortlessly classy and graceful

She doesn’t have to be rich to look classy and graceful.

Looking classy is more than wearing designer brands, instead, it’s the unspoken manners and behaviors that make you look classy.

It involves all the trivial things like the way you talk, the way you treat others, how disciplined you are, and every little refinement you want in life.

Looking rich is easy but looking classy, it’s another level.

Girls want attention but women want respect.

Classy is when a woman has everything to flaunt, but chooses not to show it.

If you find yourself constantly trying to prove your worth to someone, you have already forgotten your value.

Women are like tea bags. You don’t know their strength until they’re in hot water.

Class is knowing what to say, when to say it, and when to stop.

Luxury is a matter of money. Elegance is a question of education

Sacha Guitry

Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.

Rumi

8. She is always kind, not just to kids and dogs but to everyone

Last but not least, she always be a little kinder than necessary.

After all, a smile is contagious and free so why not spread it out?

After all, everyone is struggling with something under their mask, you will never know if your kindness that day may possibly save someone’s life.

In a world where you can be anything, be kind.

Be kind to those who are unkind, they need it most.

Be kind, for everyone you meet in fight a hard battle.

Philo

Till today, please and thank you are still magic words.

I’ve been searching for ways to heal myself, and I’ve found that kindness is the best way.

Lady Gaga

Final Thoughts:

So ladies, here are all my favorite quotes when it comes to the qualities of a good woman.

When I was young, I thought it was so boring to be a good woman.

All I want is to look pretty and special.

But now, I finally realize that the qualities of a good woman are also the recipes to be attractive and captivating in a timeless way.

After all, a pretty face can fade, and a nice body can change, but a high-level lady will always be the high-level lady.

So ladies, may I wish you to be a girl with mind, a woman with attitude, and a lady with class? See you next time!

As the saying goes ” No matter how you feel, get up, dress up, show up, and never give up”, that is the spirit when it comes to how to dress after a breakup! Yes, that’s heartbreaking.

Yes, it’s so tempting to give up yourself and wear pajamas and yoga pants all day long.

But you know what ladies, dress like you want to be addressed.

Dressing trashy is definitely not a good option. So here are the 6 tips on how to dress after a breakup and make you feel more put together!

1. Wear pastel colors for softer and feminine vibes

Some people suggest wearing bright colors like orange, and yellow to uplift the mood.

While this can be helpful, this high saturation is hard to carry. Instead, floral and pastel colors like peach, lilac, baby blue, and rose are all low saturation colors and this can certainly create a softer and more feminine look.

When it comes to femininity, it’s not just about looking girly but it’s about being confident, graceful, serene, and more. It’s unavoidable that after break up, our feminine side will fade.

Wearing light and soft colors is always an easy way for us to touch our femininity and look more warm and approachable overall!

Instead of wearing all black, I can tell you wearing a lavender blouse with a pair of elegant beige jeans is really refreshing and empowering to me!

Who said you need to wear dark colors after breaking up to show everyone you are sad?

Time to wear uplifting colors to embrace another side of you!

2. Level up your lingerie to feel more put together

Ladies, your bra and underwear matter. Yes, you are now single and no one else sees your lingerie.

But you know what, you are dressing that for yourself!

As the saying goes “Never underestimate the power of good lingerie on a bad day”. Lingerie is not about seducing men, it’s about embracing womanhood.

After breaking up, maybe this is good timing for some reflection and realizing your bras and underwear play a big part in how you carry yourself.

Instead of wearing your old loose cartoon underwear or unfitted bra, it’s time to pick some comfortable lingerie with lace beams or other elegant designs to make you feel more polished and put together.

Invest in lingerie with high-quality fabric and cutting that really hugs your curve.

Trust me, leveling up your lingerie is always one of the best investments for a woman.

3. Dress classy by outlining body curves instead of dressing slutty

I know, we’ve all been there.

We know it’s silly but we can’t help to validate ourselves by showing your “sisters” and long legs out in the bandage dress.

Sis, don’t dress slutty or trashy. Or both.

Again, dress how you want to be addressed.

If you don’t want people to think you are slutty and attract those trashy boys, then why do you have to dress in that way?

Instead, why don’t we level up our game? Instead of showing the skin directly, showing our body curves is definitely a more mature and classy way to express our femininity.

Some of the ways include styling a baggy sweater dress with a belt to accentuate your waist or wear a tight silk long dress to show your hourglass shape.

Dress classy to evolve from a girl to a lady after break up, and you will be surprised what kind of man will attract you.

4. Carry a structured bag and style them according to the occasions

This tip is optional if you really love your tote bag so much.

After break up is always good timing to level up your bags. When I was young, I love my sloppy shoulder bags so much and I carry them on EVERY OCCASION.

Yes, I carry the same tote bag when I go to the beach and go for a date back in those days. It takes me a long time to recognize that choosing the right bag can elevate your overall look and vibes.

Compared to sloppy bags, a structured bag with nice fabric can always make me feel more put together.

As people always said, when you have a nice bag on, your H&M outfits suddenly become high fashion.

If you don’t want designer bags, it’s totally fine too! My no-fail tip to level up a no-brand bag is to the bag handle and this trick never fails to impress me!

Also, carry your bags according to the occasion. Wear different bags on different occasions is classy and let alone that can brighten up our mood!

5. Wear something that you always wanted to try

This can be empowering to try something new for yourself.

Not because you want to impress others or fulfill society’s expectations, you do it for your happiness.

I remember when I broke up in my early 20s, I immediately wear a pair of white jeans to celebrate and I can’t feel even better!

As a pear shape girl, my boyfriend at that time keeps telling me not to wear something light as this is not slimming at all.

But you know what, sometimes I just don’t care is that slimming but I just want to try something new.

If I wear my jeans with a confident big smile, then I am definitely doing the right thing!

This is more than just trying on new clothes. Mentally, it gives us a new vibe to move on!

6. Wear perfume and accessories to spice up your look

Girls always want to look super hot after a breakup and I always question that “Have you thought of perfume?”

Looking hot doesn’t mean you have to show skin, instead, you can always show sexiness through perfume.

The smell can convey so many messages and if you pick the right one, you can look effortless yet sexy.

SHOP AMAZON

And for the ladies who are ready to date and have fun, definitely go for this pheromone perfume! Well, I guess the name just explains everything.

Enjoy your night sis!

Another key is embracing accessories. Again, after the breakup, I tried something new and one of them is accessories.

I always thought accessories are only for formal events but this is apparently not true.

I started to wear earrings and necklaces to spice up my look.

I always feel I am pampering myself when I have my accessories on!

FINAL THOUGHTS:

So ladies, here are the 6 tips on how to glow up and dress after a breakup! Let’s have a quick checklist first.

• Wear pastel colors for softer and more feminine vibes
• Level up your lingerie to feel more put together
• Dress classy by outlining body curves instead of dressing slutty
• Carry a structured bag and style them according to the occasions
• Wear something that you always wanted to try
• Wear perfume and accessories to spice up your look

At the end of the day, no revenge is the best revenge.

Girls always want to look hot to show their ex he is missing out, while I completely understand that as I’ve been there, we all know that man doesn’t worth our attention anymore.

We dress to impress ourselves and level up ourselves to the high-value women.

It takes me a few years to realize breakup is not the end of the day, instead, it’s the beginning of our glow-up journey!

We reflect we comprehend, we learn, and finally, we blossom again :’)

When it comes to looking classy with your clothes, colors do play a huge role in leveling up your whole outfit!

While there are many amazing colors out there, the Top 10 timeless, elegant colors are earthy, natural colors.

Think:

• Black
• white
• grey
• red
• navy blue
• beige
• Ivory
• khaki
• Pastel colors: Baby blue and soft pink

No surprise, these natural colors effortlessly bring out the feminine side of you.

While someone may wonder why these colors are regarded as classy, now let’s dive into it!

If you are reading this blog post till now, there’s one thing for sure…

You have good taste! <3 If you approve of some of these looks, please kindly pin or share some of these outfits so many tasteful fashion babes can come across this outfit inspo, thanks pretty! ❤️

And…it would truly mean the world to me if you stay until the very end. ❤️

1. BLACK

You just can’t go wrong with black. It’s chic, it’s classic and it’s effortlessly classy.

Subconsciously, to some extent, we all think black represents formality, sophistication, power, elegance, and mystery.

This is why a smart black suit and a little black dress always look so timeless.

Also, let’s not forget black is also a universal color that is easy to mix and match with many other outfits.

The best part?

A black dress is the best canvas for your chain belt and sparkly pumps to SHINE.

This color is dark enough to hide the flaws in your outfit (e.g. the low-quality hem of your dress) and magically level up your clothes.

Last, wearing black always gives people the illusion of a slimmer, taller body figure and makes you look more put together and behave more confidently during the day.

So ladies, when in doubt, go black!

2. GREY

Grey is such a high-class color and I’m sure many of you agree.

In color psychology, it is the color that is refined, dignified, elegant, and calm.

In the high fashion industry, grey is always the designer’s favorite.

Again, it’s easy to mix and match with other outfits and it’s the ultimate lowkey classy color in my eyes!

As we all know, there are many shades of grey, I’m sure you can pick one that is the best for you!

With the right choice, this color can instantly make you look high-class!

3. WHITE

Ladies, can we talk about the fact that many people are afraid to incorporate white outfits into their daily life? Are you one of them?

If yes, I encourage you to try this color more often as it is a truly beautiful and classy color.

White represents peacefulness, purity, wholeness, and simplicity.

As the saying goes, simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication.

There’s nothing more refreshing than a tidy white dress with good fabric.

Also, when it comes to denim shorts, white jeans always look more elegant than the original ones.

If white can handle the causal fabric like denim, you do not doubt that this is a classy color.

Reminder:

While this is a great color, it is not an easy color to carry.

If you have a more yellowish skin tone, white may not bring out the best of you.

Also, you have to pay extra attention as white can look transparent in some low-quality fabric.

We all have the experience that we bought an amazing white lace dress and realized it is so see-through after we received it.

So ladies, be ready to invest in a good quality white dress and you will not regret it.

4. RED

Red is an exceptional color that represents love, energy, and femininity.

With the right classic red dress, this really makes you stand out of the crowd with a dash of elegance and look oh-so-stunning.

Of course, red is a bright hue and of course, it’s not as slimming as dark hues like black.

That said, I’ve handpicked this peplum dress for you.

Featuring the extra stripe gathered around the fabric, that just camouflages the belly completely and fakes an hourglass for you.

Such a godsent.

On special occasions like the first date night, a piece of nice red dress will surely draw your partner’s attention in a good way.

On an interesting side note, there is something called the “Red dress effect”, which means when a woman is wearing red clothing, it is more sexually appealing than other colors.

While this is not the main point, it’s always fun to know!

Reminder:

While red is a classic color, it’s also a bold color.

It can only look classy when you style it correctly.

Always look for red clothing with low saturation (Bright Red will be harder to carry in some cases) and simple styling to balance the vibes of the dress.

Always remember, being classy is about the taste not about trying too hard.

5. NAVY BLUE

 

As a dark shade of color blue, this low saturation color is classy indeed.

Navy blue is such a beautiful color that blends in extremely well with other colors, representing seriousness, stability, and depth.

Whether you have a dark or light skin tone, navy blue will be a great choice for you to instantly look decent and classy.

You can tell when people name a shade of blue “Royal Blue”!

Personally, I adore the combination of dark blue and gold!

They are truly perfect for each other, who agrees?

6. BEIGE

Beige is such a popular color these days and there’s a reason for that. It’s a warm color that symbols neutrality.

Unlike other colors, this warm, earthy tone can blend in seamlessly with your skin tone and makes you appear softer, more welcoming, and feminine.

Added to this, shoes in beige color can really create an illusion of longer, slimmer legs when the color blends in with your skin.

Such a life changer for a petite girl like me!

7. IVORY

As people said, ivory is typically the most universally flattering version of white.

 

So for all ladies with yellow skin toned, if pure white is hard to carry, go for ivory!

With a soft, muted undertone, ivory is a perfect color to look polished without trying too hard.

Well, everyone knows this color but not many have tried it yet, this is definitely the high-class color that people have overlooked for a long time!

8. KHAKI

When it comes to earthy color, khaki is another popular choice.

 

Whenever I think of Khaki, I always think of the Burberry trench coat.

Of course, looking classy is not about the brand but rather your own taste and styling.

With a white turtleneck, tight trousers, and a khaki trench coat, you just achieve the classy look casually!

9. CHAMPAGNE COLOR

Let’s not forget the champagne color.

 

This is a luxurious yet also low-key color. It’s shiny but subtle – and that’s the definition of looking classy.

It looks even better with fabrics like silk and satin.

Need I say more? Angelina Jolie’s Outfits In The Tourist is to die for…

If you think the champagne color is only for weddings and special occasions, throw away your limiting beliefs!

If you think the champagne color dress is a bit too much for you, start with a top and you will be surprised how good it looks! It’s always refreshing to try on a new color and explore our possibilities!

This is so random… BUT

1. Your body is a masterpiece that carries you through life’s journey—honor it with the love and respect it deserves.
2. Beauty has no single definition; you define what beauty means through your uniqueness and authenticity.
3. Your worth extends infinitely beyond your appearance—your kindness, strength, and spirit are what truly shine.
4. The space you occupy in this world is yours by right; never apologize for existing exactly as you are.
5. Your body tells the story of your life—every mark, curve, and change is a chapter of resilience and growth.
6. You deserve to speak to yourself with the same compassion and tenderness you would offer to someone you love.
7. Nourishing your body and soul isn’t selfish—it’s a necessary act of self-respect and care.
8. The parts of yourself you’ve been taught to hide may be exactly what makes you magnificently unique.
9. Your body is not a project to be fixed—it is a vessel for experiencing the fullness of life’s joys.
10. You are allowed to love yourself completely today, not when you reach some future version of yourself.

10. PASTEL COLORS

Last but definitely not least, pastel colors are classy.

 

Mauve, baby blue, and soft pink are all colors with low saturation that is soothing and refreshing to look at.

Added to this, pastel colors can always bring up the femininity of a lady.

By picking the right style of clothing, women in different age groups can wear pastel colors!

FAQ

What color is unprofessional and not classy?

While it depends on a case-by-case basis, color with high saturation color tends to be relatively not classy and unprofessional.

High saturation colors include neon yellow, shocking pink, bright orange, and so on.

These colors draw people to your outfit immediately instead of focusing on your face and personality.

Huh, interesting.

She explained to me further that she is a young single mom and solopreneur working hard in her business and personal growth for a few years.

While she can now enjoy the expensive lifestyle and finer things in life, she feels so lonely as there is no one to share with.

I GOT YOU, SIS.

As a 27-year-old building her own little empire myself, I think I can share my two cents!

These years, I am lucky enough to meet some successful founders and amazing people.

I don’t intentionally “hunt” for rich people but just naturally attract people with growth mindsets like me.

And guess what, the one with a growth mindset is rich anyways!

If you are interested to know the ways how to find rich friends in a 100% realistic way, keep on reading!

Little Disclaimer:

To set your expectations right, rich people in this article mean the self-made ones but do not necessarily refer to the trust-fund babies.

1. You don’t find rich friends; you attract

As the famous quote said, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with”.

Imagine if you are a rich person, do you rather spend your time with someone successful or someone poor? The answer is obvious.

But does that mean you have to be rich to find rich friends? Of course not.

All you need to do is bring your value to the table.

From having a growth mindset and motivating others, to offering some tax accounting advice to someone who is great at organizing parties, you need to showcase the rich friends what you are good at.

At the end of the day, in all kinds of relationships, it’s healthy reciprocity that nurtures a good relationship and it’s not always money to money.

2. Attend the seminars that interest you

If you’ve confirmed you are some sort of value provider, now we can talk about where you meet rich friends.

From my experience, you can always find rich people in all kinds of business or start-up seminars, talks, and workshops.

Why? Because the self-made rich friends value knowledge and these are the wonderlands for them.

Seriously, you have nothing to lose! With or without the attendance of rich people, those seminars are here to widen your horizons!

3. Startup / Start your own business

Of course, there are many rags-to-rich stories, but the majority of the start-up or business founders come from relatively wealthy families (middle class or above).

If you want to be in the circle, why not start a small business that you are passionate about?! It’s not just about the money, but the opportunities that come after that – it just basically opens another door for you.

4. Wealthy neighborhood

I mean, this is just maths.

When you live in a rich neighborhood, the possibility for you to meet your rich neighbor just boosts tenfolds in an instant.

Also, when you socialize at other events, you just naturally feel more confident inviting people over to your home.

Of course, living in a wealthy neighborhood cost a ton of money but you can also share the rent with your friends. Trust me, there are many people out there who want to meet rich people like you.

5. Go to the exclusive gym and bar

Going to anything here high end can have a higher chance to meet rich people.

Go search the premium bars, and luxury gyms in order to find the right crowds.

As the saying goes “There is nothing more expensive than something free”. Once you figured that out, your life is way easier.

SIDE NOTE:

I know some people will suggest fine dining. But I think the chance is lower as most of them have a partner or group of friends.

6. Join an online group strategically

This is based on a true story again. My friend’s ex is a luxury watch lover and he joined the “Rolex watches online group”.

That group, as expected, is full of all business owners and professionals.

The best part? He doesn’t own any luxury watches at that point in time yet he has truly bonded with the like-minded in 3 months’ time.

Of course, he has been active in the group and provides all the updated pricing information and news. So again, value, value, and value.

7. Learn classy sports

If you can afford it, take a class and immerse yourself in typical rich sports like sailing, golf, skiing, and more.

Instead of going to the one-off gathering, joining class over a course of a few months can way easier to nurture a true friendship – it’s just another level.

8. Join MBA and EMBA (or just info day!)

Before you skip this tip because you can’t afford the $5000 degree, hear me out first – you don’t have to.

The true story again.

My friend met a GM from a big banking group not because she actually took the course, but simply joined the EMBA information day, and they happened to chat during the seminar!

Be creative because you never know where life takes you! It’s all about exploring every opportunity and being open-minded!

PRO TIP:

If you target meeting executive-level people, go to the EMBA course rather than MBA. The age level of EMBA is higher.

9. Pick your job strategically

Also, your job matters A LOT as well.

While being a professional like lawyer, the doctor is a no-brainer for you to meet well-off people, the good news is that’s certainly not the only way.

The point here is your job can somehow help you connect with rich people.

Say a tennis coach, or golf coach, works as a marketing consultant or a salesperson who needs to cold call the small business owner.

One of my friends works as a senior marketing consultant, and she meets A TON of founders and cool people!

10. Join classy events

From movie premieres, gala dinners, charity events, and galleries to auction houses visit, there are A TON of high-end activities you can join!

Seriously, I will suggest you join alone if you are ok with it.

And here I want to debunk a myth – not all these seemingly “high-class” events are impossible to join as a “normal” human being. You can go to the places like meetup or Eventbrite – I can always find some gala dinners or parties there.

No excuses people!

11. Wine Tasting event

From my experience, you can always find some high-quality people there!

12. Try the online app

Of course, there are scams when it comes to meeting people online, but I know some people DO find success there.

Especially when you are introverted, trying out an online app can be a really good starting point.

PRO TIP:

To avoid the fake rich, filtering the info is KEY.

What school he/she studied is one of the best indicators.

13. Learn about the etiquette

If you want to mingle with high society, learn all about etiquette. This is for sure not a quick win but I can tell you people will be low-key impressed by your classy act and behavior.

Here are two must-read books I highly recommend, save them to your wish list even if you don’t have the intention to buy them! You will find them useful one day.

• The Etiquette Book: A Complete Guide to Modern Manners (from Amazon)
• How to Win Friends & Influence People (from Amazon) – this book is such a GEM, you just naturally become more likable! (Given that you finish the book)

14. Put yourself OUT THERE

Last but not least, PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE. If you read this article now, high chance you are really passionate about meeting rich successful people so start taking action!

I know it’s tough but you know what, it’s all worth it.

Sometimes we just have too many “what if” in our brains. STOP. From now on, let’s feed your brain with another saying – “You are just one decision away from a totally different life”.

You can do this girl. (or guys!)

FINAL THOUGHTS:

So there you go people – the 13 realistic ways if you are wondering how to get into rich social circles and find rich and successful friends that will really level up your life!

Well, while you may need to put in extra effort, it’s definitely achievable to look elegant with tattoos!

It’s true that even these days, many people may still think tattoos look trashy and not elegant.

But at the end of the day, there are many factors that determine whether your tattoos are classy or not.

Let’s not forget some of the classy women like Angelina Jolie and Selena Gomez; they have tattoos as well but still look stunning and polished!

Here are the 5 tips to look classy with tattoos, enjoy!

1. Beware of the meaning your tattoos convey

Let’s start with the basics, the meaning of your tattoos.

People get tattoos for different reasons.

Some want to look like a cool kid, some want to remember his/her life quote and religion, some want to honor a loved one who has passed away and for me, I want to use tattoos as a little decoration.

The message of your tattoos really matters tremendously.

After all, just like makeup, hairstyle, and outfit, the tattoo is another kind of explicit way to express your beliefs, values, and personality.

As the saying goes, dress like you want to be addressed.

If you want to look classy, then perhaps you should reconsider that skull or naked girl tattoo.

Always remember, tattoos are something that follows you the whole lifetime; make sure those tattoos are meaningful enough to empower you instead of making you feel insecure after 5 years!

I personally think the life quote tattoos, religious tattoos, and family tattoos are really classy and elegant; they stand for strength, love, and so much more!

2. TIMELESS tattoo design is key

Being classy is about being timeless and classic. As Karl Lagerfeld once said, “Trendy is the last stage before tacky.”

When it comes to your tattoos, make sure the design is always a timeless piece instead of a trendy piece.

Not kidding, but I saw people doing some food tattoos (like our beloved avocados and cheese) on their front arms, seriously?

It may look cute in your 20s, but when you are 50 and you look at the food tattoos, you may want to get rid of them.

Also, when it comes to classy design, typography does play a huge role as well.

Instead of choosing some trendy Instagram fonts, I think the classic script fonts will be a classic design that makes things look more polished.

Last but not least, always go for simple, low-key designs.

You don’t want to make the tattoos so big and too colorful that people shift their attention to the tattoos instead of you during the first meeting.

Having a tattoo can also be private and low-key instead of trying too hard.

An overwhelming tattoo, it makes people think you validate your value by showing the tattoos even if that’s not your intention.

So ladies and gentlemen, stay lowkey with your classy tattoos without trying too hard and that makes people notice even more!

3. Pay attention to the placement of tattoos

Alright, you chose a nice design tattoo with meaning, and now it’s time to pick the placements!

Of course, there’s no right or wrong when it comes to the placement of the tattoos.

It really depends from person to person, including your occupation.

While tattoos at work are not a big issue, some tattoo stereotypes still exist.

It’s always a good choice to place your tattoo in some less obvious spot to make things easier, like the inner arms, rib cage, waist, and shoulder back, so you can always hide your tattoo when you want to.

Trust me, you will love this flexibility.

I don’t think the face is a good placement even for simple elegant tattoos, this is a little bit too obvious and people will stare at your tattoos instead of looking at you in the eyes.

You just don’t need this distraction in the long term.

4. Wear an elegant outfit that flatters your tattoos

If you have a simple small tattoo on the upper arms, you don’t really have any restrictions when it comes to your outfits.

However, if you have large tattoos with colors, you may want to pay extra attention to the outfit including the colors.

For example, if your tattoo is green, wearing a pink dress may not be the best idea.

Here are some of the color combinations that don’t go well with each other:

• Red and green
• Green and pink
• Green and orange
• Purple and yellow
• Red and orange

Being classy is about being intentional about the details. Always go for low saturation (Choose emerald green instead of bright green) and classic color, this can give you a softer look that can balance out the strong vibes of the tattoos.

Also, picking an outfit that flatters your tattoos doesn’t mean you have to wear revealing!

Some people want to show off their tattoos on the chest, so they always dress in a low V cut, while this is totally understandable, it’s not classy if you dress too revealing.

Here’s one simple old rule: If you want to show your chest, don’t show your leg, and vice versa!

After all, looking classy is about taking a balance in everything; this makes you look more put together!

This is so random… BUT

1. Your body is a masterpiece that carries you through life’s journey—honor it with the love and respect it deserves.
2. Beauty has no single definition; you define what beauty means through your uniqueness and authenticity.
3. Your worth extends infinitely beyond your appearance—your kindness, strength, and spirit are what truly shine.
4. The space you occupy in this world is yours by right; never apologize for existing exactly as you are.
5. Your body tells the story of your life—every mark, curve, and change is a chapter of resilience and growth.
6. You deserve to speak to yourself with the same compassion and tenderness you would offer to someone you love.
7. Nourishing your body and soul isn’t selfish—it’s a necessary act of self-respect and care.
8. The parts of yourself you’ve been taught to hide may be exactly what makes you magnificently unique.
9. Your body is not a project to be fixed—it is a vessel for experiencing the fullness of life’s joys.
10. You are allowed to love yourself completely today, not when you reach some future version of yourself.

5. Take good care of your tattoo

Let’s not forget the basics: take good care of your tattoos, and make sure they are in good condition over time!

We all know that there are some life quotes tattoos that look truly stunning and elegant, but 5 years later, all the words are blurred, and all you are left is a mysterious dark spot on your shoulder and back that looks like dirt.

Well, that’s not classy at all!

If you are dedicated to having a tattoo, always do thorough research and look for a tattoo artist who delivers high-quality work.

Avoid friction and sunlight so as to keep your tattoo in nice condition.

Well, it’s not easy, but you will be proud when your tattoo looks decent after a decade!

In case still don’t have any SPF and tattoo care cream to keep it in good shape, below are my 4 handpicks!

That really makes a HUGE difference in the long term.
