classiness

Sophisticated style quotient

Classiness is the quality of being classy—having elegance, sophistication, or refined style.

The word often carries a hint of aspiration or judgment: The hotel had a certain classiness about it.

It can be used sincerely or with gentle irony, acknowledging that ideas of class and taste are subjective: Real classiness is how you treat people, not what you wear.
