With These Tips, People Will Estimate Your Age Correctly
When you’re younger, being told you look older can be a compliment. But as you get older, that’s usually not what you want. Certain fashion choices can easily make you appear older. Here are two common mistakes:
An All-Black Outfit
Black can be slimming, but wearing head-to-toe black can make you look pale and older. Adding some color to your outfit creates a more youthful, vibrant appearance.
Large Jewelry (Especially Pearls)
Oversized jewelry is out of style. Smaller, subtle pieces enhance your look without overpowering it, giving a more modern and youthful vibe. Pearls, in particular, can quickly make an outfit feel dated.
Brown Stockings or Tights
Tights or stockings can really complete an outfit. Black is always a safe choice, but brown can be tricky—especially shades darker than your skin tone. Dark brown tights can make your legs look unnaturally tanned, which can age your overall appearance.
Black Eye Makeup
Just like wearing all-black clothing, heavy black eye makeup can make your skin look paler and highlight lines or wrinkles. Opt for softer shades like brown, olive green, or gray. These colors enhance your eyes naturally and give you a more youthful look.
