If you look up synonyms of the word “classy,” you’ll find words like “elegant,” “sophisticated,” and “stylish,” which elicit pictures of clothes (at least for me). But how do you apply that definition to conversations? Here's how an etiquette expert would describe it.“I believe being classy is being a warm, welcoming person while honoring your own boundaries, and being authentic without being inappropriately overly intimate with others,” says Jenny Dreizen, co-founder and COO of Fresh Starts Registry, author of Simple Scripts to Support Your People, and a professional boundaries and etiquette expert. “This means being active in conversation, inquisitive, nonjudgmental and curious.”Generally speaking, that might look like asking people about themselves. But what are some specific examples?Related: 14 Phrases That Make You Sound ‘Instantly Uptight,’ According to Etiquette Experts

2. “What’s been exciting you recently?”
“This allows someone to tell you about their history while also getting further insight into how their mind works,” Dreizen explains. “It will open up so many avenues of connection too!” For example, you might connect over something meaningful you learned from your grandma or core values you share.Related: 7 Phrases That Instantly Make You Sound Classy, According to Etiquette Experts
4. “How are you taking care of yourself right now?”
5. “What movie do you think fundamentally changed your brain chemistry?”
This question also allows you to get to know someone and their worldview, and it’s just plain fun. “It tells you a lot about their taste, past and who they are today,” Dreizen says. “It shows a genuine curiosity about them.”
At the end of the day, remember this: Being classy isn’t about being exclusive, and it’s important to remain true to yourself. To find the right mix, consider asking these inviting questions in your own unique way.
