how to dress classy but casual
5 Must-Haves to Look Feminine & Classy Every day
At Tiana Bay, we believe to be more feminine and soft starts with the belief that femininity starts with how we perceive ourselves as women and how we express ourselves.
And in this post, we’ll go into the 5 key pieces that any feminine wardrobe needs to look classy and feminine soft every day.
Classy Everyday Must Haves
Classy Staple 01: White Blouse
We can’t overstate how important a simple white blouse is to your wardrobe. Something that’s loose and comfortable that can go with just about anything you have - whether it’s jeans or trousers. It’s classy and elegant all at once.
Classy Staple 02: A Versatile Midi Dress
A dress that can go from day to night is an investment. Whether you're pairing it with flats, trainers or elevating it with heels, a great midi dress is a true staple for any classy woman.
One of the things we love about this midi dress is the beautiful gold buttons that run down the front. High quality for sure.
Classy Staple 03: Well-Fitted Wide-Leg Trousers
One of our favorite purchases is the Wide-leg trousers. These are perfect for the office or running errands. We love pairing them with a white blouse and sneakers for a relaxed errand day
Classy Staple 04: The Classic Black Blazer
Nothing is more classy than the black blazer. Such a staple piece that can be worn throughout the seasons. And what we love about this blazer is that it’s a slim fit, so it’s cute and sexy rather than being too boxy.
Classy Staple 05: Black Heels
Nothing is more classier than black heels. And whether you’re adventurous and want the stilettos or retiring the stilettos for the low-heel kitten shoes, having a black heel will be your go-to.
These staples are the foundation for any woman who wants to dress in a more feminine and classy manner because these essentials can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
And because these pieces are essentials, a lot of weight needs to be on the material of these items. It’s more than just polyester but rather the weight and build of each style.

Classy Everyday Must Haves
Are Jeans Considered Feminine?
Yes and no. Some cuts of jeans are considered feminine but not all cuts work for all bodytypes. Depending on your bodytype, you want to find the best cut that complement your figure. We'd recommend opting for a straight-cut as a go-to. It's a timeless and elegant look.
Are leggings feminine?
No, Leggings and athleisure are great styles for working out or athletic activities. And yes, feminine and classy women can wear leggings and athleisure clothes. However, they usually wear these styles in their appropriate settings ( ie in the gym or working out) but not running errands.
Are sneakers/trainers considered feminine?
Yes, and practical for any feminine wardrobe.
Valerie, Co-Founder of Tiana Bay
My sister and I started Tiana Bay with a goal to help women reclaim their femininity with a curated collection of high-quality, classy, and playful styles. Our brand was created out of frustration to how black women were negatively portrayed in the media and our goal is to challenge the negative stereotypes surrounding black women and femininity
What Women Are Saying About Us
"I’ll admit I was hesitant because I had never heard of this boutique but it had the perfect dress for my daughters christening at a great price! Well I was pleasantly surprised! The communication about the order was top notch customer service and it got here so quickly! Then I opened it up and the quality was there! It has good weight to it and fine detail! Definitely was a good purchase! Highly recommend!.”
At Tiana Bay, we believe that dressing feminine is more than clothes. It's about embracing our God-given femininity, how we feel about ourselves and how we show up in the world. Growing up, my sister and I struggled to find soft feminine clothing that reflected the women we wanted to become. So, we started a feminine clothing brand to help you feel soft, delicate and beautiful while challenging the negative cultural stereotypes. We want to help you celebrate the strength and beauty that lies within a woman who knows she was born for such a time as this.
