HOW TO BE A SOPHISTICATED LADY
Sophistication is very important, and will highly improve your reputation. It will also make you known as intelligent, refined and ladylike. If you feel that being sophisticated is what you want to do, the following steps will significantly
help you!
1) Get the attitude. Have you noticed that it is not only their appearance that makes sophisticated people sophisticated? It is their overall attitude towards life, others and themselves. So try beginning by being more mature and responsible. People will
notice.
2) Begin with personal hygiene. It is absolutely
imperative that you are always neat and clean.
Shower daily, wash your hair, brush your teeth, wash
your face, shave or wax the relevant areas etc.
3) Get the looks. Without being shallow or anything like that, I have to remind that good looks are important. If you want to look sophisticated, always look nice. Have your hair and nails done, wear reasonable amounts of reasonable make-up and
pluck your eyebrows regularly. Do not wear an excessive amount of cosmetics or you will be hiding your natural features--not a sophisticated thing to do.
4) Dress appropriately. Apart from hair styles and make-up, the way you dress is of crucial importance as well. Always dress for the occasion (as
in: do not wear the same to school and to the Conference).
For everyday style, go with nice clothes that fit you.
You do not need to spend a fortune, just choose
pieces that you look and feel nice.
5) Be well-read and educated. It is mostly
education that makes people really
sophisticated. So do your best in school, study hard, get good grades and aim for college.
6) Choose a hobby. Ever wondered why all the sophisticated people seem to know each other? Frankly, it is because they do. They run into each other on social or cultural occasions (plays, expositions, balls etc) but they also have common hobbies. If you want to befriend some sophisticated
young people, try taking up one of the activities they usually do. Do not force yourself. Just give it a chance and most probably you will find something
you will enjoy. Some activities include tennis,
horseback riding, chess, ballet or
dancing in general, classical singing, foreign
languages, painting or poetry. There are many, many
other hobbies and sports you can choose from.
7) Learn to speak properly. Before you decide to
start studying a foreign language to be more
sophisticated, ask yourself if you are already good
enough in your first language. Many people do not
realize this but it is important to speak properly and
use correct grammar. Avoid using slang or cussing,
those are signs of poor education and culture. For
example, say "Magnificent landscape" instead of
"Good view". Others will regard you in a high position,
and you will impress people wherever you go.
Be modest. Sophisticated young ladies never
boast and brag about their achievements. If you
are asked about your strengths, modestly say that
you think you are "decent" at it. Talk about yourself
like the everyday well-educated woman, even if you
are a celebrity.
8) Learn to have excellent posture. Sit and stand with magnificent, regally unapproachable posture. Never slouch or look exhausted.
Know how to act sophisticated. For example,
a sophisticated woman will laugh softly at
good, non-vulgar jokes, but she will not roar. She may
consume wine but will not gulp down an entire bottle.
She may breathe heavily after exercise but will not
make a show of it. She may cry at terrible news but
will not sob and wail loudly on the floor and throw a
tantrum. She may get angry with a witty retort and a
side-glance but will not hit and scream at her
antagonist. She may wave at someone she knows in
the mall, but will make it graceful and refined, and she
certainly will not jump up and down.
