"Now... I know what 'classy' is to me and usually applies to a woman but I would be unable to put it into words! Chic and elegant, graceful come to mind but it's really a façon être. The way someone holds themselves and express themselves. That's my attempt, hope it kinda makes sense lol  "And gentlemen? | |||

I would use the term smart "funny how folk take and use words diffrently (irrespective of language).alot will take classy to mean of blue blood stock. others will take as chic elegant suave debonair. I take it more to do with carridge not the gait of your walk but how you percieve and interact with those around you.......a dirty disheveled man helping an unfortunate person up after a fall is a classy act to me. | |||

"Its an act of basic humanity. And would make him more classy than all the people who walk by and ignore. Too many want praise or recognition, very few people are humble and its rather sad that something that should be second nature would be seen as kindness. " I was in Glasgow last night .....as i left the venue...i gave £3 worth of loose change i had in my pocket as i approached my car to an unfortunate Gentleman .. Would that be an act of basic humanity ..? kindness ? or classy ? | |||

"I think it very much depends on the context. I like to think I'm fairly classy and that's the impression I like to give (especially on here) However one of my favourite comfort foods is scotch pie, chips and beans! In that context I'm not classy at all." Depends whether you use a knife and fork (held correctly, obviously) or your fingers to eat them | |||

" Unfortunately I believe the art of classyness has been nearly lost in today's society, although it's still a trait we all respect and admire. Maybe I'm old fashioned or it's down to what was indoctrinated into me over my long service in the Army., To me being a classy gentleman means being intelligent (and not always in an academic way, there are various forms of intelligence), being polite (Take a genuine interest in the people around you and be considerate of their needs),courteous and distinguished. Be courteous (Hold doors for people, pull out chairs for women when they sit, do the things you've seen classy men do in old movies these are the missing traits in today's world). Be confident and comfortable with yourself. Be clean. Grooming is essential to class. Your hair and fingernails should be short and neat. Your body and clothes should look and smell clean with nice aftershave. Be thoughtful. Think before you speak or act. Forethought is a classy virtue for gentlemen. Be modest. Everyone will know who and what you are based on what you do. Classy gentlemen aren't cocky or arrogant. Have good posture. Stand and sit straight up. Communicate your positive attributes with your body language. Dress the part. Wear clothes that fit the situation. Your clothes should be neat and fashionable, but understated. Honor your word and keep your promises. Actions speak louder than words, but to be a classy gentleman ones words are as important as his actions. Always be punctual for a date, Order the ladies food for her and test taste the wine before it's poured. What you should NOT do: Don't be loud. Keep your voice and your whole persona toned down. Don't wear your best tracksuit with a baseball cap on back to front!! Don't wear lots of jewelry other than a wedding band, pinky/signet ring and a nice wristwatch. Don't wear cheap aftershave - a woman can always tell the difference. Don't draw attention to yourself; you're good behavior will get you all the attention you need. Don't be arrogant. Don't spit. This should go without saying. Not only is it unsanitary, it's also extremely unappealing. Don't laugh at the mistakes of others or insult people. Be constructive not destructive. Help all others male and female with kind words and action. Never be late for a date. Hope this has not killed the discussion lol...." most of whats written here is an attempt at a chivalric code and if thats your interpretation of classy so be it. Much of what you have written dosnt fit with modern society. If I was to order my fem friends meal she would slap me senseless. Times have moved on since do everything for the wee woman. In an equal society if you would lay your coat on a puddle for a fem you should do the same for a man.. | |||

Although I agree with some of your points to me, some are 'manners' 'polite things to do'. What about being yourself? Some people I find classy are unconventional and would not fit in a labelled box! But again everyone has their own understanding of the word. | |||

"From my favourite tome, The Urban Dictionary... "You can dress classy, you can stand, sit, and walk classy, but true class is on the inside. If you gossip and insult, if you're judgemental, if you're cruel and hateful and immature, you are not classy, no matter what clothes you pick out, where you got them from, no matter how much money you have, no matter how you sit at the dinner table, you are not classy. Respect yourself and respect others and you will be classy." I agree wholeheartedly.. " | |||

"I don't believe one needs money to be classy. In a nutshell to me it's how you hold yourself and not been up your own behind. A combination of pride in your appearance and having mutual non judgemental respect for others and some good old fashioned manners thrown in. " | |||
