THE WOMAN WHO IS REALLY CHIC

 The woman who is chic is always a little different. Not different in being behind fashion, but always slightly apart from it. “Chic” is a borrowed adjective, but there is no English word to take the place of “elegant” which was destroyed utterly by the reporter or practical joker who said “elegant dresses,” and yet there is no synonym that will express the individuality of beautiful taste combined with personal dignity and grace which gives to a perfect costume an inimitable air of distinction. Une dame élégante is all of that! And Mrs. Oldname is just such a person. She follows fashion merely so far as is absolutely necessary. She gets the latest model perhaps, but has it adapted to her own type, so that she has just that distinction of appearance that the sheep lack. She has even clung with slight modifications to the “Worth” ball dress, and her “wrapped” or fitted bodice has continued to look the smartest in every ballroom in spite of the Greek drapery and one-piece meal bag and all the other kaleidoscopic changes of fashion the rest of us have been through.

But the average would-be independent who determines to stand her ground, saying, “These new models are preposterous! I shall wear nothing of the sort!” and keeps her word, soon finds herself not at all an example of dignity but an object of derision.

Soal menanyakan apa yang harus dilakukan wanita agar menjadi "chic".

Jawaban dapat ditemukan dalam kalimat-kalimat berikut:
1. The woman who is chic is always a little different. Not different in being behind fashion, but always slightly apart from it. (Wanita yang 'chic' selalu sedikit berbeda. Tidak berbeda dalam artian tertinggal soal mode, tetapi selalu sedikit terpisah darinya.)
2.  Une dame élégante is all of that! And Mrs. Oldname is just such a person. She follows fashion merely so far as is absolutely necessary. She gets the latest model perhaps, but has it adapted to her own type, so that she has just that distinction of appearance that the sheep lack. (Une dame élégante adalah semua itu! Dan Nyonya Oldname adalah orang yang seperti itu. Dia mengikuti mode hanya sejauh benar-benar diperlukan. Dia mungkin memakai model terbaru, tetapi telah disesuaikan dengan tipenya sendiri, sehingga dia memiliki perbedaan penampilan yang tidak dimiliki orang lain.)

Dapat disimpulkan bahwa jika wanita ingin menjadi 'chic', mereka harus berpakaian sedikit berbeda dengan orang lain dengan cara berpakaian sesuai dengan tipenya masing-masing.

Jadi, jawaban yang benar adalah "dress slightly different with others according to their own type." (berpakaian berbeda dengan orang lain sesuai dengan tipe mereka sendiri.)
