Elegance and class are nothing to do with clothes or money.
Look at the difference between Princess Diana and Sarah Ferguson. Both high members of the Royal Family, both with wealth and privileges of private schooling. One a lady in the true sense of the word, the other a chav.
In celebrity land a lady who exudes elegance, charm and sophistication for me is Dita Von Teese. Burlesque stripper no less, a woman who takes her clothes off in public, but is pure class. Again offset against Katie Price or Kerry Katona, there is no comparison.
I do not believe people who are colourful dressers are necessarily not classy. I see that as flamboyance and unique. Elton John, who has been quoted here, is a very colourful flamboyant character, I wouldn't say he wasn't classy. He doesn't seem to be falling out of nightclubs every week d*unk, that to me is trashy and common.
Vivienne Westwood is a classy lady, a pioneer of fashion, very flamboyant in style, it works.
To me your behaviour separates you from being classy, not necessary your clothes or style. If you are common, act in a rough and ready manner, swearing all the time, drinking, shouting out brash comments, being vulgar, is what makes you trashy rather than classy.
I do agree with the OP about labels and appreciating good quality. I would rather have one piece of good jewellery than 20 pieces of tack. A woman said to me last night that she liked my silver key pendant and asked where I bought it from. I explained it was a Tiffany key and chain. She asked the price and I told her. She said no way would I pay that for silver when you can get a nice solid gold chain from Samuels much cheaper. But like everything in life, do what you like, behave how you like, but don't try and be like someone else or copy because you can't really cover what deep down you really are. Be proud of the person you are
