How to Look Classy

Hello, my lovelies! Some of us may not buy the whole princess story, but we do want to live the royal dream and look like a modern princess. Wanna know more about how to look classy and elegant? I did a look for inspiration with a black and white dress for an evening tea party.

I’ve been so busy lately posting all the couture collections and reviews from India Couture Week. Now that that’s all done, I can finally post my latest look!

I did an article last week about How to Dress like Royalty, and as promised in that, I’m posting my much awaited version of a royalty look. It’s sort of a modern urban princess look – one who may not be a princess by blood, but leads a life like one, likes to dress like one and loves traditional soirĂ©es like tea parties.

Looking classy is all about understated and old-school style. Monochromatic colors and pastel shades work well. Pieces like flared knee-length dresses and cocktail midi dresses work great for early-evening or afternoon parties. Minimal accessories are the best bet.

This style resonates a lot with my personal style. The dress I chose for this look is what I wore for my graduate school’s ball. It’s a lovely cocktail dress in black and white organza. It has a tie-belt and layering at the top.

For this look, I styled it a little more elegantly and formally. I did cream and pink makeup, and my hair tied up in a bun. A pearl necklace set and diamond rings added a touch of class to the outfit.

It’s a very formal, dressy look, possibly for a cocktail part or a back-tie evening. Or maybe a very fancy tea party!
