5+ Tips On How To Be A Classy Lady

The more I study women of the bible, the more I am aware of how the world needs women who are of the word. The world constantly tries to tell women who they need to be, but I believe we must pattern our lives after God's word. I love being a woman. Scripture is full of courageous, kind, lovely, godly, and powerful women. I also believe we are not prioritizing the importance of having class as a woman in society. So here are 5 ways I am trying to be a more classy woman. I hope these classy lady tips encourage you! I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic, so feel free to comment or reach out to me!

This bible is full of wisdom on how to act as a woman. Specifically as a Christian woman. I am amazed at how courageous, strong, godly, kind, and talented the women of the Bible are. The daily reading of God's word draws us closer to Him and gives us wisdom on how to live classy lives. It amazes me when people say the bible degrades women. Have you actually read the stories about Esther? Mary? Abigail?

Gossip is one of those sins that is so easy to fall into. I have unfortunately fallen into the trap of thinking it is okay to speak ill of someone else. I am daily trying to refrain from gossip as I know it is not godly nor classy. A classy woman speaks highly of others and chooses the higher road even when it is not convenient.

When we are hurt or frustrated at someone, it is easy to respond harshly. Choosing to take a deep breath and respond in love, even if you have to be rightfully firm in your speech, is always a classy move. This does not translate to becoming a doormat for people to walk upon without regard for your feelings. We MUST speak up for ourselves when people mistreat us but we can do so with grace. This is something that is really hard for me at times but something I am working on daily.

I think there is a lot of truth in the saying, "look good feel good". Spend some time figuring out your personal aesthetic and shop accordingly. Find some classic staple items that you can enjoy in all seasons and strive to dress well. There is nothing more classy than a great outfit that you feel confident in. I post a ton of outfit inspiration videos on my social media if you're interested.

The older I get the more I realize how "visiting" is becoming a lost art. Growing up in the South, we always visited our cousins, grandparents, and friends. It was not unusual to have a cookout or get-together every weekend. I love hosting and hope to host even larger parties once we move out of our small little house in the city eventually. However, no matter the size of your space, you can be hospitable to guests. Invite a friend over for coffee, host a dinner party with family, etc. Keep fun paper plates and napkins on hand to have for when guests come over and always offer them a drink or snack.

I was never taught how to love learning. School instilled more of a just-get-good-grades-and-pass-tests kind of mentality. It is so crucial that we always continue learning and growing. Teach yourself a new hobby or set of skills that interest you. Educating yourself on matters of life, faith, hobbies, etc is so important. Through learning something new you may even find an undiscovered talent you have. For me in this season of life, I am teaching myself how to play Pickleball and studying reformed theology. What new skills or hobbies are you interested in learning?

We all know that life can be difficult. However, we must never forget that there is always something to be grateful for. When we dwell on the negative and allow that to cause bitterness in our spirit, we are really communicating to the world that we are not thankful for the blessings we have. Be grateful for where God has you and also be confident in faith that He will carry you through the hard times too.

Loving others well, and setting healthy boundaries if necessary, is key to being a classy woman. There is nothing more beautiful than a woman who loves others well but also knows when to set healthy boundaries. There are times in life when we must walk away from people who continually hurt us but we can do so with class.
