The Latin word elĕgans came to our language as elegant . It is an adjective that allows you to describe someone or something that stands out for its panache, grace or refinement .
For example: "My grandfather was a very elegant man, he always wore a jacket and hat" , "We are going to celebrate our anniversary in an elegant restaurant overlooking the river" , "The most elegant hotel in the city is full of executives for the convention." which will take place tomorrow .
Elegance is generally associated with good taste . An elegant person dresses well and knows how to behave in the most select social settings, showing his good education. Elegance is usually also linked to simplicity: what is overloaded or exaggerated is not elegant.
Men and women often want to look elegant in certain settings: at social events such as birthday parties or weddings, at a business meeting, in a television interview, etc. To achieve this objective, attention is paid to all the details of the clothing and the aesthetic appearance in general (hairstyle, makeup).
Thus, for a woman to go elegantly to a wedding, it is established that there are a series of requirements that are worth taking into account, such as the following:
-You should avoid wearing an outfit that is white or ivory, since that is indicated solely and exclusively for the bride.
-If the wedding is during the day, you should opt for a short dress while if the wedding is in the afternoon or at night, you should opt for a long one. In this sense, you should also know that hats can only be used for daytime weddings and headdresses for evening weddings.
-Women who do not want to wear a dress have other options to look very elegant such as suits or jumpsuits.
However, we must keep in mind that you can be elegant on a daily basis. To do this, you should choose to put into practice advice such as using timeless clothing such as white shirts, always wearing accessories and complements that are discreet, wearing sophisticated but discreet makeup at the same time, being very clear about the “less is more” rule…
There are numerous celebrities in history who are considered to be an example of elegance by nature. Specifically, we are referring to the actress Cate Blanchett, Ava Gardner, Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling, Cary Grant, Coco Chanel, Grace Kelly, Jackie Kennedy, Audrey Hepburn, George Clooney...
Places, on the other hand, are elegant when they are set in a refined way and decorated with care . There are certain establishments, such as restaurants, bars, hotels or party halls, that base their proposal on elegance. That is why its owners invest a lot of money in making the environment elegant, an investment that is usually transferred to the price of their services (the greater the elegance, the higher the price).
A five-star hotel , which provides all kinds of comforts to guests and has a luxury restaurant , can be described as elegant. On the other hand, no one would define a hostel that has bedrooms with shared bathrooms and that does not stand out for its cleanliness.
