Elegance !


Elegance is not just being lovely. If you are conscious of all of your actions, from the way to dress to the way you walk across a room, you can be elegant. Think of it as a kind of meditation. Being elegant can encompass the whole of a life–just stop to think of how you want to do any one thing: how you want to deal with an argument, how you want to dress, and how you want to socialize. Elegance is not about money. It’s about demeanor and philosophy. It’s just as important to care for yourself as it is to care what others think about you. If you are “true to yourself,” others that are of like minds will flock to you. My friends say that the root of the meaning of the word “elegant” is “authentic.” So care enough about yourself to wonder, “what makes me authentic?” And then you will be on your way to being elegant....

Elegance is not the prerogative of those who have just escaped from adolescence, but of those who have already taken possession of their future - Some french designer

And I have one serious doubt. Do we include intelligence in elegance?

Elegance is the attribute of being unusually effective and simple. It is frequently used as a standard of tastefulness. Elegant things exhibit refined grace and dignified propriety.
Including intelligence in elegance will usher a perfect spiritualism which is though hardly impossible.

I m sure you meant "hardly possible". So, would you call a simple, effective but sub normally intelligent guy Elegant? I guess no :P

Think again and do check this video out
