📚 What we read forms us.

No matter what you pick off the bookshelf, at least you’re reading… right?

When we normalize smut and call it literature, we cheapen the entire idea of reading itself.

Classically feminine reading isn’t about being snobbish or only reading dusty old books.
It’s about choosing stories that refine your moral imagination, not just flood your senses.
It’s about becoming more eloquent, more empathetic and more rooted in truth.

In a culture that glorifies dysfunction and calls it romance…

Reading well is a quiet rebellion.

👀 Inside today’s article:
✨ What moral imagination is and why it matters
✨ 3 questions to ask before picking up your next book
✨ A bookshelf guide for women who want substance and beauty

📖 Let’s bring back elegant minds, not just aesthetically pleasing book stacks.

Here’s why 👇🏼

Classical Femininity is about character formation not closet curation. While most accounts on here will tell you what’s “in” this season, they are missing the important and fulfilling work of embracing truth goodness and beauty in all elements of life.

While classical femininity often winds up with one aesthetic of clean lines and muted colors, it doesn’t HAVE to be that way. Instead, it refocuses what matters so you still feel like yourself instead of trying on another trend that will be outdated by autumn.

Want to learn how to embrace your classical femininity to help you become TRULY confident in a way that’s been lost for centuries? Follow us here or read our Summer edition at the link in bio 🤍

LOVING (& LEAVING) AS WE ENTER JULY ☀️ Happy July! What would you add to this list?

✨We’ve been told that glamour belongs to the rich, that femininity is a performance, and that influence comes from going viral. But @breakfast_at_taylors is proving that none of that is true.

Taylor Bennett is a small-town woman that is aiming to be the future of women’s media, blazing a path for elegance and femininity to be so much more than what’s currently presented.

In our latest and longest feature to date, Taylor shares how her grandmother’s hospitality shaped her vision, why she launched @readvesper, and what she really thinks about the problem with modern women’s magazines (on both sides of the aisle 👀). It’s elegant, unfiltered, and exactly in line with our mission here at The Swish!

Happy Birthday the late Princess of Wales, Diana, who would have turned 64 today. 🤍✨ Her life was complicated, fascinating, and ultimately too short, but her legacy will live on forever.

Through Diana we witnessed a rare example of duty in a modern world despite the hardships she faced.

Never once did she disparage her son’s future, the traditions she married into, and her role in bringing a new chapter to a historic family.

A brilliant example of dignified duty we could use more of, today. 🤍

We will still always love Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly❤️

What happened to women’s media? It’s time to build character, not just closets. Let’s change that together ❤️ Read the summer edition now at the link in bio.

It took courage for me to choose a different path, and I want you to know you’re not alone.

There is strength in embracing your femininity with grace and intention. You don’t have to give up beauty to be respected. You don’t have to speak louder to be heard.

Classical femininity is about living with purpose, nurturing your mind and heart, and letting your calling towards something bigger than yourself shine through in how you speak, dress, and move through the world.

I know it can feel unusual at times, like you’re going against the current. Maybe it even feels lonely. But that doesn’t mean you’re behind. It means you’re building something that lasts. In a world rushing toward whatever is new and loud, you’re choosing what is true and beautiful… and good.

So keep going. Keep pursuing your calling as a woman. Keep embracing the classics. Keep dressing with dignity. Keep showing up with kindness and conviction. You’re not playing small by embracing femininity. You’re becoming the kind of woman the world deeply needs.

xo,
The Swish

1. Bed rotting- spending all day in bed under the guise of “self care”

2. Chronic Cynicism- constant bitterness that scoffs at beauty and virtues squashes femininity that flourishes in hopefulness.

3. Hyper-Independence- the “I don’t need anyone” mantra. True femininity is welcoming and communal, not isolated

4. Competitive Masculinity- trying to out-man men by suppressing softness and nurturing in favor of dominance.

5. Performative Rage Culture- shouting down others as empowerment. Feminine women can be firm without being feral.

6. Living in chaos- a disordered home, and lifestyle with clutter and neglect instead of the silent signature of order in classical femininity.

7. Binge Culture- Overconsumption of media, food and substances instead of leaning into restraint.

8. Neglecting Grooming- instead of vanity, don’t let go of personal hygiene, dignity and presentability.

9. Crude Humor- Vulgar jokes, shock value and raunchy laughs might be funny, but won’t garner respect.

10. Hookup culture- casual intimacy with no commitment contradicts the feminine values of guarding one’s body and heart with dignity.

11. Oversharing- Airing every thought or wound to strangers to try to be “authentic”. Mystery is magnetic!

12. “Hot Mess” Aesthetic- glorifying distinction, drama, and chaos to be quirky or relatable. Repair yourself before you perform.

13. Chasing Clout- living for validation, likes and attention -often from men- instead of cultivating self respect

14. Degrading Dancing-movements meant to shock or provoke instead of express beauty and art

15. “My truth” over the Truth- classical femininity is about objective virtue not emotional relativism

16. Boss Babe Burnout- Hustling without harmony. Chasing status without your soul is draining not dignity.

17. Tearing Down Men- empowerment built on emasculating men is neither elegant nor wise. True femininity uplifts and compliments men without undermining them.

18. Chronic Victimhood- clinging to grievances instead of resilience. Weep

19. Masculine or “Ugly” fashion trends- outfits that hide or distort your body

20. Sarcastic detachment

We’re done with liking lifestyles just for the aesthetics. 😅 Plus, classical femininity is simply timeless.

Being a traditional wife is more than just the aesthetics pushed on us by Instagram… it’s the truth, goodness and beauty of womanhood.

Stay tuned! Big news coming tomorrow! Get ready! 💛🌻

While most people think that elegance is all about perfected poise and elevated language, it’s a lost art of embodying respect for yourself and others through your presence. Just… make sure to remove your tags, first. 😅🤍

✨Class doesn’t follow the crowd. It quietly leads with integrity.

While modern culture insists you outsource your judgment — to trends, experts, and ever-changing scripts — classical femininity reminds us of a timeless truth: self-regulation is not only possible, it’s powerful.

Today’s world wants us afraid of our instincts, hesitant in conversation, and desperate for external approval. But you don’t need a script to be kind. You don’t need applause to choose better— you need to trust your gut.

True confidence doesn’t perform but instead leads with heart. That’s the kind of virtue that never goes out of style.

🕊 In this week’s reflection, Guest Contributor @dark_sunflwr explores why timeless virtue — not trendy performance — is the key to lasting class.
