An understated elegance is one that is not garish, loud, obvious, or  even ubiquitous. It’s an elegance that is subtly-chic, and doesn’t cry  for attention. It is so strong, that it impresses people without even  one single word discussed on it. Those who have an understated elegance  have smarter shoe- and clothes’ choice…s than the nouveau-riche  variety. An example : wear a black trouser, a white shirt, and a  pure-red tie. They are not garish, believe me. They pull people’s eyes  to them, subtly and impressively.

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

The psychologist concluded that the soldier was deranged, and wrote out his discharge from the army.

The soldier picked it up, smiled and said: “That’s it.”

What’s WRONG with me, Doctor!?”

The doctor looks her over for a couple of minutes, then calmly says: “Well, I can tell you that there ain’t nothing wrong with your eyesight….”
