Urban Sophisticate 

A middle 20's to middle 30's aged person that employs the urban city living experience with an impeccable and eclectic combination of labels such as classy, elegant, hip, and trendsetting, all surrounded by humbleness. What sets them apart are their tastes and craving of knowledge of the social-scene and its fashion, music, etiquette, and epicurean palettes. These people are "in the know" and they are known well by their open inner circles. Their outlook is positive in life. Most followers and friends are attracted to their presence, but a few are the cause of unintentional envy.

Urban Sophisticate 

A sophisticated person that employs the urban experience with impeccable taste worthy of the highest class.

Their outlook is positive and therefore they tend to garner respect and gain success.
No example needed. Others know who they are. The title of Urban Sophisticate is earned and given, never claimed.
