There is no key!

If there was a key it would be too easy, and everyone would buy the key and all their fashion worries would be over!

However, there are three fundamentals of fashion that cannot be bought, and they are:

• Simplicity
• Grooming
• Good taste

These elements are not a commodity which can be bought, however, they can be learnt by everyone, regardless of where you are in life.

How does Audrey Hepburn look so timeless?

How do designs become classic?

We take a look at fashion, its influences and determine the styles that will never disappear and remain timeless.

The basic principles of achieving a beautiful, elegant look that is timeless are quite simple.

There is of course, a more sophisticated elegance whose taste you will eventually develop, but for starters, we will stick to simple, clean lines and focus on quality.

You don’t need to race out and spend truckloads of money. You may be surprised to discover that an elegant woman is much more materially restrained than we realise.

Basic elegant style principles:

A timeless, elegant woman is always:

• Clean
• Neat
• Graceful in appearance. You will always notice her before her dress
• Wears quality clothes
• Has a pleasant appearance and expression. She gives you nothing to question or frown about.
• Dresses appropriately and according to the occasion
• Prefers timeless, classic styles.

There is something very cohesive, rounded, soft, subtle and what I would call an almost ethereal look about a woman who is elegant.

This woman always looks understated, effortless and harmonious.
