of sitting so sitting in a way to exude

play02:24

class and femininity is a way that you

play02:28

can really level up in terms of your

play02:33

general aesthetic I guess so without

play02:36

further ado let's get in to the

play02:39

easy-peasy

play02:41

yet very important principles on how to

play02:44

sit in a ladylike and a feminine way the

play02:49

first thing I want to comment to you

play02:50

about is to keep in mind where you are

play02:53

going and what you are going in to be

play02:56

wearing so try to avoid skin tight

play03:00

fabrics that are short or shorts that

play03:04

are going to ride up as you sit down and

play03:08

do a sitting test in the change room

play03:10

when you are at the store buying set

play03:13

item because a many times

play03:15

think that something's fix perfectly but

play03:17

we go to sit down and we realize that

play03:19

it's tight in kind of all of the wrong

play03:21

places another trick is that you ten put

play03:26

your hand this sounds weird but my mom

play03:29

always told me to do this and I was

play03:31

always embarrassed as a child to do this

play03:32

put your hands down your garment that

play03:36

you're about to purchase to ensure that

play03:39

there's enough space for your hand to

play03:40

get there if there's enough space for

play03:42

your hand to fit there usually you know

play03:44

that it is not too tight now let's

play03:48

proceed into how you are going to

play03:51

descend into sitting in your chair you

play03:55

always want to make sure that your chest

play03:57

is elevated you don't want to look

play04:01

towards the floor and is sit like so you

play04:04

want to make sure that you are keeping

play04:06

your shoulders and your chest up and you

play04:09

are reaching a slightly back to make

play04:11

sure that you are not going to fall on

play04:13

the floor as you are squatting it down

play04:16

gently to sit in your chair another

play04:20

trick that I learned through the hatch

play04:22

injury because people are very nervous

play04:25

when they come in for the interview in

play04:29

front of the panel and they have just

play04:31

one chair you want to always make sure

play04:34

before you're sitting down then your

play04:36

calves are touching the chair this is an

play04:41

easy way to not look back like this

play04:46

before and you are going a to a sit down

play04:48

it is an elegant way to exude confidence

play04:51

by knowing and reassuring yourself that

play04:55

you are not going to flop on the floor

play04:57

my dog is joining us for this video so I

play05:00

apologize he really just likes the

play05:02

spotlight and he's very tired

play05:05

so I'm going to reach back keep my chest

play05:07

elevated I have touched my calves to the

play05:11

chair so I know it's behind me I'm going

play05:13

to gently reach back and sit down now

play05:17

let's talk about your knees you want to

play05:21

always make sure if you want to sit with

play05:23

in a ladylike way that your knees are

play05:26

together you also want to make sure that

play05:29

your calves are together basically the

play05:30

two V's are always together you don't

play05:33

want to sit with your legs open simply

play05:36

because we do not want to expose our

play05:38

private parts enough said about that and

play05:41

let's get in to showing you the

play05:45

different ways that you can sit make

play05:47

sure always that your legs are at a

play05:50

rather 90 or 80 degree angle a

play05:53

misconception is that you can put your

play05:57

feet underneath your chair like this but

play05:59

as you can tell by the video this really

play06:03

degrades my feminine or while I'm

play06:06

sitting really it doesn't look that put

play06:08

together so make sure that you have a 90

play06:13

slash base if we had 90 to 80 degree

play06:16

angle with your legs out in front of you

play06:18

one of the easiest ways to sit is to

play06:21

have of course your legs stuck together

play06:23

tilt your legs to one side or the other

play06:29

and of course maintain your posture as

play06:33

you're sitting you always want to try

play06:35

not to slouch in your chair you want to

play06:39

make sure that there is at least a fist

play06:41

length between your back and the chair

play06:44

if you want to know more of that posture

play06:46

you can visit my posture video on how

play06:49

you can apply these principles while you

play06:51

are sitting I will link that video above

play06:53

and down below the next thing that I

play06:57

want to bring up is how you can cross

play07:00

your legs if you choose not to sit in

play07:04

this manner with your legs to one side

play07:06

or the other and you really want to take

play07:08

it up a notch by crossing your legs you

play07:11

can cross your legs at your ankles like

play07:14

so one ankle behind the other remaining

play07:19

in that type of tilted position and same

play07:24

thing from the other side now this might

play07:27

be the easiest way actually to sit for

play07:29

us Americans which we see everywhere and

play07:33

we tend to sit with their legs across

play07:35

like this but this really isn't proper

play07:37

etiquette nor is it very ladylike

play07:40

actually because the proper way to cross

play07:43

your legs one me over the other if

play07:46

actually to do that same leg stuck

play07:49

together motion from one side to the

play07:51

other by bringing your legs over like

play07:55

this one side

play07:59

other side you pick the side that is

play08:03

most comfortable for you when getting up

play08:06

of course you want to uncross your legs

play08:08

would like to keep them rather together

play08:10

and all you have to do if you also need

play08:13

this

play08:14

you can push off of your chair a little

play08:16

bit keep your chest elevated and then

play08:19

stand up I would love to know if you

play08:24

play08:28
