My go to is always carry a scarf. You can cover your head if hats are not for you (when entering a cathedral) and a scarf will be a quick fix if you have a little spill on your blouse. Tie the scarf to your bag or tuck it in your bag.

Ladies, wear modest clothes and do not be afraid of the heat. The more you cover the body, the more it will be protected from the direct heat of the sun. And she's right, the choice of material is the most important. This is a sincere advice of a veiled girl from a country where the temperature in the summer rises to 45 degrees. Your speech is very wonderful and sane Anna.

Anna, thank you for educating me on linen years ago. The majority of my summer wardrobe is linen and it is fantastic for keeping me cool and looking a bit elevated (much classier than a cotton t-shirt). I also find it very disrespectful when tourists wear inappropriate attire in places of worship. We should think of ourselves as representatives of the country, city or town we are from when traveling, so dress well.

It’s such a myth that wearing less clothing in the heat makes you cooler!

What bothers me that her perception of elegant is very outdated. And I agree that wearing nicer outfits even while traveling is nice, it’s just that it can be variety of different styles. For example in Paris or Berlin her outfits would look very touristy. It’s not how people dress there. So you also have to consider where you are going to maybe fit in the general vibe better.

I don’t wear sneakers unless I’m at the gym. I prefer sandals. When my man and I travel, or are in Boston on the weekends, I always wear my linen, summer, or maxi dresses with sandals and I feel so comfortable. I also love admiring other ladies’ outfits while we walk-so many different styles-classy, simple, comfortable, and beautiful all at once.

I tend to always keep a light scarf with me just in case I come across a beautiful church that I would like to visit. You just pull it out and wrap it around to keep your shoulders covered.

It took over 20 years but I literally cleared out all my clothes and bought more things that fit a capsule wardrobe. So more high-end pieces that mix and match in more neutral colours, silks, satins, mohair for Winter and all Linen for Summer! I avoid fast fashion now if possible just as it clogs up my wardrobe and I only usual get a few wears before it starts to fade and fall apart! YES it took time to get a good wardrobe, swapping that £40 H&M dress for a £130 one from Ghost, but now I have invested in it, I rarely need anything else. I swear by the brand Ghost London!

I appreciate your respect for touring places like churches and museums, etc. I agree 💯 and will add more linen pieces to my summer wardrobe. I clearly don't have enough. 😊

As a Greek, if you'd like to come to Greece, I'd recommend you to explore around islands other than mykonos. Please, it's SO overpriced there. But, wherever you go in Greece, wear linen as it can go to 40°C on a normal Wednesday, be prepared to get hot lol.

Anna, I am so happy that I found your channel! As a 16-year-old who loves dressing elegantly and just elegance in general, I really appreciate your tips. Ever since I'm watching your videos, I pay even more attention to small details. Whenever I walk into a fast fashion store, I feel like I am a quality controller 😅 and most of the times I walk out of the store disappointed mainly because of the quality of the garments, but at least I'm not spending my money on something that's not worth it. I feel very confident and refined in elegant clothes, however, I didn't really have the courage to wear them on regular school days because I felt like I would look so different from others. I did it like twice though, (I was like: "I don't care, I don't need to fit in, I'm gonna put on an elegant outfit today because I'm in the mood for it and won't care about what others think") and guess what? I got quite a few compliments from my classmates (and even from some of my teachers) about my outfit and how much it suits me. Also, once I was wearing an elegant outfit when I was shopping with my mom, and at some point she asked: Do you notice how many people take a look at you? I had no idea. This does not mean though that I'm gonna give up on wearing regular everyday clothes, but I'm gonna dress elegantly if I feel like it. 🤍 This shows how outstanding elegant people are, so ladies, wear those clothes if you want because you'll shine in them! (and I'm not saying this negatively, I don't want to be rude by any means, you can be outstanding in any outfit if you are being yourself, by outstanding I mean that nowadays not so many people dress this way, therefore it might stand out a little 🤍 + elegance is more about personality, being kind to others and handling every situation with class, but I really do like the way elegant people dress as well!) greetings from Hungary 🤍

Besides they were far from being attractive. Although young moms do carry them when they have little ones because it leaves both their arms free, understandable.

Hello Lisa how are you doing today How's everything going?

Love love loooove this topic! Especially since we are in summer and many of us are visiting new cities :)

"Anna Bey approved"...! You are delightfully witty, dear friend. Most of the time I watch and listen without commenting - sometimes I approve, sometimes less. I must say, however, that I've been following you (from time to time) for let's say 2 or 3 years, now, and despite your young age you give common sense, practical advice and I can see that you've been constantly trying to improve your appearance, your manners etc. Of course: you have a brain that works, a lot of stubbornness and you know very well what you want. Bravo Anna: keep it up. Love from Rome/Italy

You are the best. Please never stop to teach me how to be more elegant!!! THANK YOU ANNA!!! 😌

Marie-Anne Lecoeur, a French chic style expert here on KZread, calls wrinkles in linen, "Smile lines for clothes." I love that. xo~linda

I love Anna’s vids and this is all good guidance. I’m in Monaco right now and tourists are easy to spot by the amount of makeup ladies wear. It is so they look good in pictures of course. But it is very noticeable. The amount of makeup on already pretty girls is out of control. Show your beautiful skin💐

Do people in Monaco not wear makeup?

@Ber, she didn’t say women in Monaco don’t wear makeup. She said the “amount” that’s worn is noticeable, as this may not be the standard for those who live in Monaco vs the tourist. Sometimes, people are so quick to be snarky, that they come off as just being ignorant…

Thanks for the video

I agree with every point you're making here except the footwear. Many of us have bad feet and need supportive shoes. I will be bringing my linen, cotton, and modal clothing but also my Brooks running shoes on my next European vacation. If we are spending lots of money to go on vacation it's not worth it to have sore feet.

White sneakers do look great while sightseeing, but I just can't put down my wedges, even if I have to walk the whole day. Linnen dresses and 10 cm wedges are my go-to haha

Ladies, Do spread these trick and tips to any young ladies you can. I have a 17 yr old that entered my life recently...Im trying...its hard wording things perfectly to not offend but shes worth it.

Hi! ☺️ i just made a video on my channel for teenage girls and how to dress more classy! Hope you enjoy 🌷

I will wear backpack when I take on Everest Base Camp Trek. I love your suggestions: bright colored small bags. Shorts are good for beach strolls. I think denim shorts are okay when you hike up Santorini or cruise on catamaran on Santorini caldera. When you take off your denim shorts, you still have your bikini swimsuit. So jump right off into the caldera.

I am the type to look like a tourist when touristing. I have always admired ladies who look good when sightseeing. I will apply these tips! 🤍

I really enjoy Anna Bey videos...she is never snooty or condescending, her advise is so helpful and fun!

I agree on everything except the backpack. Don't use your hiking backpack of course, get something like a clean and simple leather one that matches your outfit. But there is no way I am going to spend all day outside in the heat without carrying a big water bottle. If I can wear sneakers with a dress, I can wear a backpack ;-)

I would just buy small bottles of water at the small shops you find almost everywhere and put them in a bag

Backpacks are easier for pickpockets to access than cross body bags.

Love this Anna - looking expensive can seem shallow to those that don't want to put in the effort, but it's SUCH a beautiful way of telling the world you are of high value and should be treated as such. These suggestions are perfect.

Hey - Another advantage of wearing regular close is that you will look better in your photos too. You’ll have a better outfit for photos and a hat, some fun stuff like that.!

Thanks for sharing

I like to be stylish when I travel. Especially in airports. When I travel, I sit for at least 2 to 3 hours, so I choose a skirt or a dress as my outfit, simply because it's comfortable and feminine. A nice hairstyle and lipstick are important as well. 😁🌺

Hello dear how are you doing today How's everything going?

if you dont have a huge budget, go to a thrift shop and try on dresses and you will find one that is very comfortable.

Anna, you are always so put together with minimal pieces. I am learning many great ideas for looking more feminine without showing a lot of skin! Thank you very much 🥰

That lemonaid yellow color looks amazing on you.

I agree with everything except the back pack. There are really nice back packs that can go with elevated outfits. Also, it has to fit your life and stage of life. not using a back pack when you don't have children will work for you, but when you have kids and vacationing back pack is a must, because you need to have hands free and pack things for the children. I would love to see you do an updated video on these types of things after you have children and try to strike a balance between classy and being practical.

I don’t have kids but totally agree you might need a larger bag depending on the age of your child.

So many practical tips to elevate one’s look. 50, 60, or 70 years ago dressing appropriately and respectfully was something a mother took great pride in teaching her daughters. But no more. Thank goodness Anna can fill this gap which seems to have sadly disappeared.

It depends on where you are, the freedom of expression through one's clothing and marketing has much to do with it. The more accepting we are the more the standards are lowered. As an example restaurants and stores can promote a dress code, which costs them little.

I love you, Anne. So much you are right about the right fabric do you know? Last few months I had started changing my dress's fabric and I've been feeling so happy and comfortable. Thank you so much, my favorite Elegant Lady.

It's so unreal how good you look. You hear this every day, and my comment will be just one of milion, but I had to say it. You are too perfect. 😍

About the handbag thing, what if you are someone who wants to carry water in your bag or juice as you'll be walking for long. To be honest that bag is not practical for doing a whole day walk

For an evening dinner, I pack a small chain strap crossbody. It doesn't have to be a fancy brand. I save my money for other accessories.

On Amazon, they have very nice water bottle/purse combos, they have a space for your cards/cash and a strap to wear it crossed body style… and if someone else want you to carry their stuff (except for a child of course) then say NO Men need to start carrying man-bags if they want to carry a bunch of stuff😁

I loved my Nike shoes for roaming around whole day as a tourist. 😍

Anna thank you very much for speaking about “respect.” Now a days no style adviser addresses this issue and I am so happy you are advocating this .

I love your videos, Anna. I’ve been following you for years and taken a lot of your advice, I always get compliments as an elegant lady. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Kate Spade makes cute sneakers. Also I agree with wearing a crossbody instead of a waist bag but an expensive bag doesn’t work for me because I don’t want it to get dirty. I bought the Tumi Keene Water Bottle crossbody and it looks so much better. Great advice.

For elegant summer outfits, I like to look at Asian and Arabic countries. They have beautiful silk clothes. Silk is also cooling in summer.

I agree … boo on wearing work out clothes! Most women don’t even look good in them 😉 thanks for all the very nice classy recommendations 😍

Anna, I have been watching your videos for a couple of years now and I truly value all the knowledge and advice you have shared with us. But I must say, in the past year your personality and fantastic sense of humor has indeed come through the videos and I enjoy them more and more each time. You always manage to make me laugh and keep me in check with my femininity. I admire how you are a confident woman who knows herself and is not afraid to express her opinion in a respectful manner. Something I believe we all should strive for. God bless you and your loved ones. Thank you for helping us become the best version of ourselves.

Anna my deaar ! I was waiting for this video for three weeks now. I came to turkey few days ago, couldn't do any major shopping untill i watch your video . Thank you veery much ! I actually got my leather sneakers and slightly oversized brown sunglasses for the summer ! I can say i am pretty much a good student of yours. Thank you again 💗 sending you loads of 💕😘
