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

[Anonymous]

You know what comes to mind when you think of elegance.

The following:










It seems that it requires long thin limbs, tall and skinny body, long neck and a well proportioned balanced nose.

What if you just don’t have the stuff?

What if you look like:



Can you still look elegant? How?

What if your short? Have a short neck and poor bone structure?!

Of course you can!! You can polish and shine any old rock.

Yes, you just need proper fitting clothes and good haircut and make-up. It's about looking polished--not your size. You also will have more confidence in the right clothes that fit your body.

And hair away from face.

I don't think the women on the bottom is ugly at all. It just isn't a great picture. She has on a pretty blouse and what looks to be a structured wool coat. 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.

You have to be skinny. Doesn't matter if you are pretty.

Sadly you can be the most beautiful woman in the room but it will not matter unless you are THIN.

No, it isn’t possible for everyone and that’s ok.

You don’t have to be skinny. This woman proves it.

This is true, but I never understand why. Why does an average-looking 100lb woman have more appeal than a gorgeous 140lb woman?

Is it because it’s more difficult to be thin than beautiful, and we value things that are scarce?
Is it years of glossy fashion magazines and ads?

I don’t agree. Depends on the woman. Look at opera singers, Anna Netrebko for example. It’s all about the confidence. Majority of plus size women just don’t have confidence and that’s why they don’t shine.
