My dear elegant ladies, welcome to
a new video on elegant, feminine, and expensive looking fashion. Ladies, why is it so common that we end
up looking very cheap and not expensive when the climate is hot? I think it's because, well, number one, the temperature goes up so we start
losing fantasy and inspiration on what to wear in such climate. But number two, I also do believe that summer heat
makes us a little bit lazy and shame on you out there,
my not so elegant ladies, because I want you all to look
fabulous, look your best and of course, look expensive. So follow these seven tips that I'm
going to share with you in this video. Let's start with tip
number one. All right, ladies tip number one is the boat neck. So I'm
talking about the neck line, the boat neck. It goes
like this, as you see. And the reason why I am a big fan of
the boat neck is because it's a very classic and a very traditionally
and elegant cut neck line. Okay? Not the second reason to why I personally
love this neck line so much is because it shows off some skin, but it doesn't show cleavage.
It doesn't show breast, which is usually what
ladies wants to be sexy. That's usually the route they go.
That's what they show. But here actually, you're showing a little bit
of this, a little bit of that, and that makes you look
incredibly feminine, attractive, and it gives you a lot of
sex appeal. Plus of course, you can wear a boat neck with short
sleeves like this, meaning that in summer, it's going to be cooling because
you have loads of areas for ventilation. And if you choose a lightweight
fabric then a boat neck is going to be incredibly cooling as just a regular
top that you can pair with whatever you want, as an example, shorts.
Please be aware though, all my ladies who are heavy on
the shoulder area, basically, if you are an inverted triangle,
no, this is not for you. I'm really, really sorry. You will become even broader in your
shoulder area if you wear boat neck. So stay away. Not for you, but for
everybody else, yes. All right, what's in my Anna Bey oven for
point number two? Here we go, ladies We have the five up to seven
centimeter high sling back heels, as you can see here. The thing is that a big mistake that
ladies do in summer that really does cheapen their appearance and today, we want to look expensive is that they
wear an inappropriate heel height for the wrong occasion. And in summer, what happens is that we have many daytime events or early evening events that actually a very high heel, meaning stiletto will look a
little bit inappropriate. However, a five centimeter, a 7 centimeter like this is actually
going to look very appropriate, even for a daytime lunch, even
for something more casual, you can get by with something like this. It's not going to make you look
tacky or too much or overdressed. Sandals is a summer shoe and
slingbacks are therefore very suitable. Definitely get them in white and
nude because the nude color is going to elongate your legs because it's going
to blend in with the color of your skin tone. Now, the reason why I said white is
because summertime of course, means that we're going
to wear lighter colors, meaning that we're going
to go more for pastels. We're going to go on more for lighter
shades, neutral shades and of course, for white color, because it's
going to be too hot, otherwise. I'm sure you don't really feel like
putting on the navy and the black, et cetera in summertime.
Because if the sun is shining, you're going to be boiling like a little
crab. Therefore, you will need ladies, a lot of light colored
shoes so that somehow, they go with your outfits. And ladies,
as we're talking budget today, the good news is that this type
of shoe model does definitely exist in many high street
shops or cheaper or more affordable type of stores, because this is not rocket science to
create a shoe like this. Believe me. I've seen it out there. If you
start looking, you shall find. Point number three. And ladies, now comes a little crash
course in covering up your bra because this is a big issue. You know, summertime comes and we start
wearing things like this. Maybe a little thin strap,
maybe a little revealing fabric, maybe something a little
bit smaller. And ladies, what do we do in this chest area
then? Do we have nipple tape? Do we show our bras straps?
No, we don't. Because I'm going to tell you what you
should be doing. Okay. I can't believe, I'm actually showing my lingerie
in public, but here you go, ladies, a little treat for you, just
because I love you so much. Here we have the probably most
common bra that I wear. And this is because it is nude
colored. It goes with my skin tone, it's seamless and it fits my
breasts perfectly and keeps them in place without any bra straps. Ladies, really everybody and I say, everybody needs to have one
of these in your wardrobe. No excuses. Okay. Maybe an excuse if your chest is just
so big that this thing is not going to hold it up. Okay, I get it.
But for everybody else, you need to have one
of those. And honestly, behind a silky thing like
this on thin straps like this, it's all going to work out
perfectly fine. Trust me, because this is what I wear
under all my very delicate tops and garments. And
I get many questions. Anna, what kind of bra are you wearing? It's so difficult to not have the bra
visible because as soon as you start showing those bra straps, it's
going to downgrade your look. Okay? So there's another thing that we need to
talk about. Have you seen these before? And no, it's not something you
put on your eyes like this. It's actually nipple covers. Nipple covers are a must because
there might be an occasion where you cannot wear a bra.
Maybe the cuts of your garment, your top is so kind of
cut in a complicated way that any form of bra is going to show. So the only way out is to add
these little darlings on your little darlings and then your nipples
will be safe and it's actually fine to wear or go braless. But again, ladies, not everyone might be able to pull this
off because some of you ladies might have a chest that really do need
to get a little bit more support. Usually this works better for
ladies with my size of chest size or if your chest is very firm, doesn't bounce
around too much, you know? So ladies, very important because we don't want to
show our bras and we don't want to show our nipples this summer. Point number four. And let's talk about a fabric that
is actually very affluent and many people in the affluent
community do wear linen. We need to be a little bit
honest here for a second, because one thing is true and
that is that linen is not a cheap fabric. It's not expensive to the point like
it's going to cost you a fortune, but it's definitely more of
a mid range type of fabric. So it's usually a little bit costly. You are still going to find it in
cheaper stores, like Zara, et cetera, but it's probably going to
be more on the pricier side. It's not going to cost as much as some
cheap polyester do, right? But ladies, I want you to really start changing
your mindset for when it comes to shopping. I want you to start understanding that
this type of things are an investment piece and actually, linen
is an incredibly durable fabric. It will last you like three times
longer than regular cotton material. Something in the fibers is just made so
incredibly durable that it can actually sometimes even last your
generations, believe it or not. But the beauty with linen
is that it always looks very affluent. You can see in
the affluent community, men in summertime will
change their usual shirt to a casual linen shirt. And that will make them look quite
sophisticated when they wear them with their shorts and ladies usually
wear beautiful linen sets, maybe kind of resort wear
style type of linen or linen dresses. I personally wear a lot of linen
dresses because I find it to be very casual, very chic, but the beauty with linen is
that it's a cooling fabric. Because what happens is
that in the summertime, linen breathes and it doesn't
absorb the heat the same way, more kind of plastic style type of
materials like polyester will do, which is why you need to
invest in natural fibers. It will just simply cool you better. Now, the only downside with linen is
that it wrinkles. And as you know, I don't like wrinkles,
but with linen, it's okay. It's actually so okay that you don't need to be pulling
out your steamer that I taught you to do. You can actually wear a little bit of
wrinkles here and there because with linen, it kind of looks good.
It comes with the fabric. People get it when they see you
wearing a wrinkly linen dress. They don't think that why didn't she
steam her clothes just like Anna Bey told her to do? I love linen. Now let's continue to the
shoe department. And this is point number five. Now, one thing that I definitely feel
is very problematic in summer, and that is to find the right shoes
that you can actually walk in. Because what happens
in summertime, ladies? We actually walk more, because
we might be on holiday, we might be doing sightseeing. We might
just want to go for an evening walk. We might want to go for a stroll.
Everything is more about being outdoors, meeting people, being social, and just really stand on your legs
and walk everywhere you want to go, basically. Okay. So we need
shoes that we can walk in. And I really like shoes
with thick heel for that. As you can see here is actually
another pair of Aquazzura shoes. I just love Aquazzura, not sponsored,
but if you want to sponsor me, I'm all yours. And ladies, again
here, I'm holding white shoes, but you don't have to
necessarily get white. You can get nude, you can get pink, light. You can even get some pop color.
You see what's really nice in summer, let's say you're wearing a
white linen dress like this. You might not necessarily want to go for
white, boring, plain shoes like this. Although you can, because you can
go all monochrome in the white, but you can actually add a
little bit of spice. This can be, let's say in a red color or a brown color, or a yellow color. It doesn't
really matter what color it is. Just adding a splash of
color to your neutral white look. It looks fabulous in summer.
So back to the heels, I'm really referring to
the heel now because the thickness of this heel is going to make this shoe feel more comfortable
than when you have a thin heel. That's always a little bit uncomfortable.
Okay. And the height is of course, very important. I think these
are maybe five centimeters max. You should definitely go for
something as low as possible. I think, seven might be a little bit too high,
unless this is seven. I don't know. But ladies, think something in this lines, you will find loads
regardless of budget. Again, I'm holding a pair of
more expensive shoes, but you can definitely find something
in Zara that looks like this. This is not difficult to find.

Showing something black, because it has a bit of contrast and
I really want you to see how this material looks like. You see
it's very flowy, very thin, very delicate. Now, ladies, how do we keep ourselves cool? How do we keep ourselves
feminine, beautiful, and feel like a goddess in summer?
Well, with this type of fabric. And okay, let me tell you one thing is that chiffon
definitely is more on the pricey side. Not pricey, again, you can find
mid-range easily with chiffon. But actually, did you know that you can also find some
cheap polyester that kind of resembles chiffon easily as well? Like this, this is a really old
dress from Marciano Guess but this is the type of
chiffon that I'm talking about, but it's actually a
hundred percent polyester. What I really love about chiffon is that
it really flatters your body because it kind of just follows your natural curves. And if you have it as a dress or a
skirt, it just becomes very flowy. Let's say there's a little bit of
wind and it goes a bit like, you know, so you feel all feminine and beautiful. So this is also another reasons
why I'm recommending this to you. But the good thing is ladies, you can easily find
this look for very thin polyester if you want to see a little
bit more of an imitation of chiffon. It is totally doable to find. However, you have to look because when you
go out to fast fashion stores, you're going to see a lot
of let's put it this way, a lot of variation in what
polyester actually is. Because polyester does come in all
kinds of shapes, sizes of forms. We have the stereotype of what
polyester is, but actually, you can sometimes find some
really nice looking materials that are actually polyester. Point number seven. And that's
going to be the last point for today. But I do have more videos on
elegant fashion and summer fashion on my Youtube channel so just go
back in my archives from last summer, from the previous summer, et cetera. And you're going to find loads of content. Point number seven. Button-down, sleeveless tops. Well, actually look, we are trio here.
I'm actually also wearing this. Let me tell you about what I'm wearing. So I'm worrying probably the
cheapest garment that I own and it's coming from a
brand that I never buy from. The only time I bought something from
this brand was this only time when I bought this dress. And I'm talking about
pretty little thing because, again, I am not sponsored. I don't really like these type of brands
and I don't ever find something nice there. But once in a blue moon, you can actually find
something in such stores. I also like the fact that
it's stripey and it's blue. It gives a little bit of
a nice summer feel to it. But what I really like about this
dress is that it's incredibly lightweight. And you just heard me
mentioned polyester. Now this is a hundred percent polyester, but it's in a very lightweight polyester, meaning that it feels very nice to
wear it in hot weather. But ladies, the reason why I'm bringing the
button-down sleeveless shirts or top is because it usually looks
a little bit more dressed up. It usually it looks a little
bit smarter and therefore, of course I had to put it on today's
list because all we want to do is to look more expensive and
of course more elegant. Now I believe these types of tops comes
in all kinds of shapes, sizes and forms, and of course, colors, materials. So here, you really just have to
start hunting. So ladies, that was all that I had to offer you for
today. Now go and watch my other video, 10 things elegant ladies never
wear in summer because there, you are going to understand which items
are forbidden to wear if you want to look elegant this summer. I will see you in that video.
