8 reasons why old-school cool is always in style

Times are a changing, but that doesn’t mean everything should change. It’s crucial to move along and grow with today’s culture. You don’t want to get left behind and the pace in which technology changes means adaptation is as important as ever. However, some things never go out of style like good manners and attention to others. With our fast-moving society, we often lose touch with certain cool and classy old-school habits. It’s time to remember how important these gestures and behaviors are — and bring ‘em back!

1. Handwritten Cards There’s nothing like receiving a handwritten card. An email or an e-card just doesn’t do it. Whether it’s a birthday card, or a get well card, the card receiver will appreciate it. Bust out those pens and cards and start writing. And, maybe you can put that cursive to work!

2. Ring Ring I know texting and emojis can be fun, but I hear calling someone is totally making a comeback. Whether it’s calling someone to ask them out on a first date, or picking up your phone to chat with your bestie, call that person rather than text them.

3. Pull Up a Chair

Sure, sometimes it’s nice to eat dinner while watching TV. But, it’s also nice to eat dinner sitting at a table and conversing with your family, friends or partner. Save the TV time for afterwards and enjoy good food and good company together.

4. Dress to impress Crop tops and boyfriend jeans are so ‘in’ right now, but they are so not appropriate for every occasion. Remember, you want to dress to impress. So, maybe save those trendy styles for the nights out with your gals instead of during a job interview or meeting his parents for the first time.
