When you think of classical elegance, the first image that comes to mind are the stars forties, or high society receptions. How is this idea of \u200b\u200belegance with today's life? What elegance, and how to become stylish?
The term derives from the Latin verb eligible, which means to choose.
Elegance is therefore something that can be grown. It is the result of choices you make and the way in which presents itself. Being able to choose one of the things that make the elegance needed in the world in which we live. We have endless choices to make in every field, on the brand of jeans to television programs.
Yet despite the extraordinary variety of options, we tend to uniformity, we try to feel part of the approved company, we strive to live and look like everyone else. ;
Being smart means making choices inspired to develop our taste and our style, unique and staff. Be smart, nowadays, means above all to be authentic.
The elegance is achieved through experience. The teenagers were seduced by fashion and trends of the moment, but rarely elegant. Being smart means a degree of sophistication, and the self-confidence that allows you to make choices.
Elegance is therefore a matter of choice, but also the ability to do so to a certain type. Wear a top very tight, low-cut and the navel uncovered, at a reception which provides the formal evening dress is not a very happy choice, though undeniably remains in effect a choice.
But how do you know what and when to choose? Where do I start?
Elegance is not flashy. It is an accumulation of tinsel and exhibitionism. It's style, awareness, measure. A balanced mix of instinctive good taste and specific choices of care and meticulous attention to the substance in every detail.
The elegance and courtesy. And respect for others, attention to the way in which what we say, do or exhibition can be perceived. Not a formal etiquette, not a ceremonial hypocrite, not a trivial person and adapt to the conventional, but a deeper sense of civilization.
Elegance is not myeloma and sloppy. You can be civil with sincere courtesy - Or, when necessary, with measured hardness. Elegance is not fake and a liar. It is a crust that hides the ambiguity of appearances and deception.
Elegance is simple - and simplicity is elegant. The both of them are pleasant, pleasing, comforting. Not only more humane and functional, but also more beautiful. May be, when appropriate, attractive - even disingenuous. There is more charm in the simplicity in every shameless performance.
The irony is elegant, the humor is nice, but much of the humor that surrounds us is coarse, stupid, arrogant and vulgar (not to mention the involuntary absurdity of those who take themselves too seriously).
Sobriety is not sacrifice, renunciation, poverty. It is the ability to choose what you need (even from a aesthetic point of view) and what is not only useless, but it is often cumbersome and annoying.
Elegance is able to smile, even laugh, when there is a reason - but do not get lost in boring salaams, ambiguous and irritating.
one thing well written and elegant. Not only when is a literary work. Even a tram ticket or a traffic signal can be elegant when they are well made, functional and aesthetically pleasing. Every little detail well cared for its usefulness and presented in an elegant way can contribute to a more pleasant environment in which we live.
Some people think that elegance is a gift, a talent. In part it may be true. There are people who know how to move, speak, communicate better than others. But no one is condemned to be vulgar, cumbersome and annoying. And no one can be trusted only instinct. The elegance, simplicity, sobriety are arts that we can learn and grow. It is worth it. Not only to make ourselves more pleasing to others, but also to feel better about ourselves.
We are living in an age that has too much room for vulgarity, exaggeration, all'ineleganza, gutted and stupid to the cult of appearances. The myth of abundance is not only exaggerated the risk of suffering when they encounter the inevitable limitations (who can live well with five dresses suffer if it is twenty, but he wants fifty - and the same concept can be applied to anything else , tangible or intangible).
In short, the elegance is simplicity, no need of rules to follow, but only semplicità , educazione e buon gusto .
Ricorda,l'eleganza non è solo saper portare in un giusto modo un vestito ma essere perfetti anche mentre si legge un semplice libro.
Con affetto;
Eleonora.
