As a youngster, its kind of cool to be told that you look a few years older as its a huge compliment, right? But as you get older it becomes more of an insult.
Cringeworthy fashion errors can truly make you look a lot older than you are and nowaday no one wants that. However, the right fashion choice will not only make you look stylish but also defines you as a person.
We understand that fashion can be difficult or overwhelming for some since there are always new fads and trends that don’t last that long.
Because the fashion rules and guidelines are forever changing, we definitely understand if you can’t always get it right. But do not be afraid, we are here to show you exactly how to stay on trend!
Poofy, Big Hairdo
Yes we know back in the ’70s & 80’s big hair was a massive craze. If you were going for a wild hairstyle, then teasing and back-combing your hair was the direction to go.
But today, this is a very questionable look and that’s beside the damage it can do to your hair. Anyway, it looks extremely old-fashioned. The current trend is something more along the lines of soft, sleek hair.

Matchy-Matchy Outfits
Now let’s talk about color coordination! Mixing patterns and prints are so in right now. Trust us, it’s not only monotonous to wear matchy-matchy outfits, but it also makes you appear older.
We figured out one of the solutions to looking younger, avoid being too put-together. Do not hesitate to experiment by mixing leopard prints with plaid or circles with stripes.

High-Waters
We only permit you to wear high-water pants when you’re wanting to show off your funky socks. Alternatively, you should definitely keep away from these types of trousers.
When buying pants, it’s vital to first sit down and make sure that your ankles are covered. Believe us, your ankles should not be exposed during the colder seasons.

Over-Plucking/Tweezing
Remember back in the day when all you ever saw were thin eyebrows on your favorite celebs? Ever wondered why you don’t see it any longer? Well, that because it’s no more a trend. In this day and age, thick, bold eyebrows are what’s trending. Bushier is better!

No Skincare Routine
From a young age, you should begin applying night and eye cream even – you’ll definitely benefit later on in life.
Even though you are still young, doing this will help you slow down the aging of your skin with the use of anti-aging cream! This is a great way to stay looking young and fresh. Be sure to apply cream both in the morning and at night.

Long Sleeves Only
Arm flab is not an illusion. Regardless, do that many people even pay attention arms anyway? Well, they will look at them if you’re all covered up during the summer. So please, wear shorter sleeves in the warmer months!

Matching Lipstick And Dress
If you wanna mix up your outfits a bit, why not wear a pink lip to liven up your look. However, don’t make the mistake by applying a pomegranate lipstick to match a pomegranate blouse.
That’s a huge, no-no! Often times, it’s difficult to find a real match, and the mismatch will just look odd.

“Old Lady” Handbags
Large bags are also known as “old lady” handbags, and seriously who wants to be considered as an old lady especially if you’re young! Rather choose a small, elegant bag. It’s not like you need to carry that many things, right?

Undergarment Lines
No matter how amazing your outfit may look, if you have an underwear line, sorry but your outfit is no longer as stylish as you thought.
An undergarment that is too tight or a bra that is see-through your shirt can totally make you appear a mess!
We highly recommend that you get seamless items to avoid all those embarrassing moments. You may remember what happened to Faye Dunaway that one time? Oops.

Jersey Fabric
Regardless of how comfortable jersey material is, the fabric often emphasizes the wrong parts of the body. So rather opt for clothes made of cotton, wool, or silk.
They do a much better job of hiding parts of the body since jersey tends to stick. But if you love the fabric too much, try buying a looser fit.

Tan Stockings/Pantyhose
When deciding on tight colors, nude and black are probably the best options. Tan should not even be part of the question.
Nowadays, don’t even think about going for “four shades darker than your skin tone.” Skin tone shades are definitely the way to go!

Overdoing It With Powder
If your goal is to dry out your skin and let your makeup stick into your pores, then you should overuse the powder.
This stuff puts all your imperfections on extreme display, even if you do not have many blemishes. Rather select a liquid and cream alternative to make your face look better. You’ll thank us later!

Hiding Your Figure
When people get older they tend to wear much baggier clothing. If your goal is to highlight your figure and look younger, then form-fitting clothes will be your best friend. Loose-fitting items tend to make you look older.

Keeping The Same Hairdo
Rocking the same hairdo your while life may get a little boring. Every so often, you should try to modify your hairstyle whether it’s with the color or length. A new hairstyle can make you look and feel like a whole new person.

Minis
The older you get, you should probably try to avoid “mini” clothing items. Especially if you’re an older woman, you shouldn’t really wear anything higher than above your knees. It’s the best way to not look inappropriate or tacky.
