Fashion historian Alexander Vasilyev on the CLASS YouTube channel emphasized that in no case should a lady’s hand be brought to her face with a kiss of greeting.

“A man should be able to kiss ladies' hands. At the same time, never raise the pen to your face, ”Vasilyev assured.

According to the fashion historian, the man should lean towards the woman's hand halfway to his face, and the girl, in turn, should raise her hand a little to help the gentleman. Thus, Vasiliev explained, a woman's hand and a man's lips should meet approximately at the level of a man's chest. He also said that the habit of shaking hands at a meeting came to Russia from the United States. According to Vasiliev, this tradition took root in our country with the advent of the Bolsheviks.

Earlier, etiquette expert Alevtina Rogova told how to tactfully hint to guests that it's time to leave.
