Can you be elegant if you’re not elegant looking?

What does that even mean in your 30s/40s? I'm THIN! None of it looks great. I think this attitude is changing. We've seen J. Lo at 50. MY non existent WASP but is not holding on well, thin or not.

To be the most beautiful woman in the room has nothing to do with weight. It has to do with hair, skin, posture, Queen attitude.

Tailored clothes that accent your best features, good posture, and a polite, friendly attitude can make anyone more elegant.

This just isn't true. And I say this as someone who recently went from a normal, not-overweight, tall size 8 to a skinny tall size 2. I'm able to pull off a more fashionable look and clothes generally look better on me now. But men appreciated my fuller body before the weight loss, I think, and I don't look any more elegant. In some cases I look less elegant- what's more feminine and evocative than a curvy figure in a black dress?

Christina Hendricks, Scarlett Johansson- these women define modern feminine elegance, and they are definitely not thin.

The scarf is a poorly worn. If she lost the scarf, put on a swipe of lipstick, and fastened her coat I think she would look lovely.

This is her cleaned up, pretty! It's all about grooming

Sorry but she still does not look elegant at all. Cleaned up, but not elegant.

Exactly. Elegance doesn't look like you spent 5 hrs dolling up with a help of a team of 10 people.

Queen attitude is the opposite of elegant.

No

You have to be tall and skinny

I don't think you necessarily have to be tall and thin. There is a heavier woman I see a lot at sporting events. She is immaculately groomed and wears very preppy, well-fitting clothes. She's not classically beautiful, but she clearly puts a lot of care into her appearance and always looks fantastic. Even though she's not skinny, her clothes fit her well. I think that's key - also, wearing classic shapes.

Agreed. An elegant outfit would never have bowling shoes with a dress.

Why do you hate women so much?
