c : dignified gracefulness or restrained beauty of style

d : scientific precision, neatness, and simplicity

We have the definition, but that doesn't mean it's easy to put our finger on just what it is that sets a  person apart as being elegant.

Elegance is a statement, an attitude. Elegant women are women of character with confidence. ~Elie Saab

Elegance is timeless. It withstands trend; It withstands the commercialization of what fashion and style have become. ~Zac Posen

I think I like Coco Chanel's definition best.

The zenith of elegance in any woman's wardrobe is the little black dress, the power of which suggests dash and refinement. ~Andre Leon Talley 

✲definition from Merriam-Webster
