Fashion Habits that Make You Look Older

Love your body and want to show it off? Great! Do it in ways that are sexy, as opposed to flashy. Remember, first impressions matter, so its important to always dress the way you want to be addressed.


1. You wear old fashioned attire without a modern spin.
We all know that fashion styles are cyclical and that everything comes back around. This does not mean you have to be fully dressed in decades-old outfits which could run the risk of making you look like you are in a costume and 10 years older simultaneously. You can pair an '80s baggy jeans for instance with a chic top and heels to go with. Putting a modern spin on retro pieces not only give you a more contemporary look, but you’ll also stand out from the crowd. Win-win!

2. You don't pay attention tailoring.
You run the risk of looking older if your clothes don't fit. How? Because when clothes are too boxy, too long, or generally ill-fitting, it looks like you’re trying to cover up your body, which intrinsically translates to older . This doesnt mean your clothes must be too tight, no.  A well-fitting dress with a nipped waist and a flattering hemline, a blazer that skims your body (and whose sleeves aren’t too
long) or a pair of slim well-fitting jeans that just hit your ankle will show your figure in a way that’s stylish without being overt.

3. You rely on the same old clothes in your closet.
Not that into fashion or shopping? That’s fine, but you are probably into looking
presentable right?  So it’s not the end of the world to replace those 15-year-old square- toe brown loafers with an updated style, or replace your boot-cut black pants from the late ’90s with a pair that fits well and has a slimmer line. You can also go ahead and stick to the same styles, but just give them small updates in order to appear more youthful.

4. You wear Nerd glasses.
Need reading glasses? No shame in that! However, it’s a known fact that most
drugstore readymades aren’t the most youthful. Instead, seek out a modern pair
at sites like TrendyGlasses.net or ReadingGlasses.com. Of course, it’s worth getting an eye exam to make sure you don’t need a stronger prescription.

5. You pluck your brows way too much
Super-thin eyebrows can certainly give your face a harsh, aged appearance. As we age, our eyebrows gradually thin, although makeup really helps, its best not to over pluck your brows
