Have we lost our class? Were women of the past more elegant and sophisticated? After being asked this very question ourselves recently, we at Image Hair Extensions have been pondering and debating the answer.
You look at the style icons that spring to mind when you think of the past...Marilyn Monroe, Bridget Bardot, Audrey Hepburn and Rita Hayworth (to name just a few) and what words would you use to describe these ladies? Classy, elegant, sophisticated, respected, beautiful, stunning, attractive are the adjectives we came up with. Each of theses strong, powerful women commanded respect both in and out of their field. Women strived to be like them and men wanted to be with them. They did not seem to be hung up on body image and embraced their beautiful curves and womanly figures. They dressed in clothes that flattered their figures and left much to the imagination. However, does this mean they were classier than women in present day times?
Times have changed and women are now allowed to express themselves more than ever. This often happens through fashion, hair and image. Woman now have access to magazines, the Internet , catalogues, tv and newspapers and we are constantly being bombarded with images that we should want to embrace. Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Victoria Beckham, Kim Kardashian and the one and only SATC character Carrie Bradshaw are all women we want to be like but each of these ladies has to dress to impress and stand out from the crowd and therefore has to be daring and dare we say it a little bit provocative. Just because women now show a bit more skin and wear tighter clothes doesn't mean they have lost their class. Surely class comes from within and whether you dress like Kate Middleton, or Nicole Scherzinger, we feel it is how you conduct yourself when in the company of others and not what you are wearing which makes you a strong, sophisticated, classy woman.
