What Do You Consider Classy? Or Trashy?

What do you consider "classy" or "trashy" (on either gender) re: appearance, career, education, style of speech, hobbies etc.?

Is being too "classy" ever a turn off?

Post pics of what you consider one or the other :cool:

Classy: dresses well, speaks properly (doesn't need to be posh but no 'innit', 'alrigh mate', 'bruv' etc and even better if all the T's are kept in), respect for different cultures and religions, good knowledge (even if not necessarily a university student), doesn't go out on the lash and aim to get wrecked and sleep with strangers every night.

Trashy: the opposite of the above.

Thanks :smile: What would you consider "dressing well"? (Obviously, nothing like wearing tights as trousers or something :tongue:)

Would it be possible to be classy if someone didn't have a degree yet (but was studying to go to university?)

Dressing well would be like a smart top, sometimes complimented with a jacket, jeans are acceptable as well, skirts that are not belts (or if they are quite short, at least she would wear some dark tights or something).

Opposite of that like you say would be tights as trousers, skirts the size of belts, sports-gear as casual wear (not for their actual purpose).


Yes, I don't think classy necessarily = education these days. To be honest you can be intelligent and understanding of the world around you without having a degree. It just so happens that the majority of people who are intelligent and understanding of the world around them also decide to go into further education.
