This is a spin off post of the husband wanting OP to dress more chassisish. A poster said her husband prefers that she dress more classy than trendy. What are examples of this? Can’t you dress classy and trendy?

I think for classy she means- blouses, pleated skirts, flat loafers, soft pink manicures on shirt nails, pear earrings

For trendy think leather skirts, clunky loafers and boots, longer nails, heavy gold jewelry

I think a person can be both but most people gravitate toward one type

Personally, I consider classy to be equivalent to timeless. I like a knit sweater top, a-line black skirt, (footless) tights, boots with a low heel, simple makeup, and gold jewelry.
To some extent, yes, the top, skirt and boots will be in style, but I don’t consider myself trendy. I rewear from season to season as my size hasn’t fluctuated much and I buy good pieces to last.

Classy is not the opposite of trendy; classIC is. Classy implies wealth and aristocracy, classIC means timeless, never on the cutting edge but never totally out, either. Trendy just means currently very much in fashion but implies a certain innovation. A style can be trendy and classy but seldom trendy and classic. If it's a classic that's been revived and is very much in style right now, it might be described as trendING but not trendY.

It’s not classy vs trendy

It’s CLASSIC. Meaning timeless. Meaning always in style.

Yes that’s what I would say. More blouses and pleated black skirts as opposed to oversized sweater and colorful midi with Chucky shoes. But you can also be trendy and classy
