Not everyone can boast of good taste and an impeccable sense of style - otherwise the profession of a stylist would be completely unclaimed. However, the lack of these qualities will help to partially compensate for the knowledge of some nuances. Of course, no one argues that a woman is beautiful at any age, but still, if she looks younger than her age, then this certainly adds to her attractiveness. Various wardrobe items and accessories can visually age you. How not to make a mistake in choosing them? Let's try to figure it out.
Colors that add years
The color of clothing is one of the important criteria for choosing it. A shade chosen according to the theory of color types can make you look more attractive and younger, while the wrong color will highlight flaws and make you look older. The right combination is also important: for example, some basic tones that you just can’t get rid of, or fashionable shades may not suit you, but this is not a reason not to use them at all in the image.Just “move” them away from your face - wear trousers or a skirt in this color, and choose a “youthful” top.
Everyone knows about the “little black dress”, which should be in any wardrobe. It is considered a classic, and, as you know, it is always in fashion. In addition, black is a base color and is also visually slimming. At the same time, this tone does not suit everyone, and upon reaching a certain age it adds years.
But there is a solution: use the above-mentioned recommendation - remove it from your face. Choose a model that is open in the neckline or with a lace insert in this area, or pair clothes or an accessory in a bright or warm pastel shade with black - and the look will become irresistible.
Other colors to avoid as an adult include:
- swamp;
- dark purple;
- orange;
- grey;
- brown.
Large prints, many decorative details
There should not be a lot of bright, noticeable details at any age, but in adults their abundance is completely unacceptable. Choose a small geometric or floral pattern, a “metered” print. Refuse flashy decorations and elaborate decoration. Otherwise, your appearance may evoke associations with the image of one of those stylish old ladies that the Internet is replete with. But our goal is not to demonstrate that “at heart I’m 18, I dress accordingly and don’t care what they think of me,” but to look stylish, expensive, elegant.
Baggy silhouette
The oversized style, which has been trending for more than one season, undoubtedly looks stylish, fashionable, makes the figure more fragile, and emphasizes femininity, but... In adulthood, excessive baggyness is still not the best clothing option.
Many people think that a loose cut will hide imperfections, which become increasingly difficult to get rid of over the years, but in fact, voluminous clothing distorts the proportions of the figure, making the silhouette loose, as they say, indistinct. And this, of course, adds years. A dress with a straight or A-shaped silhouette, a pencil skirt with a high waist or peplum, or a flared model will help to hide some figure flaws and at the same time look elegant.
Reference. When composing an image, at any age you should adhere to the golden rule: if the top is tight-fitting, then it is permissible to choose a loose-fitting bottom, and vice versa.
Tweed suit
Tweed, of course, is a practical fabric, check print is always fashionable. But if there is a lot of both in the image, it visually makes you look older. If you really want and like it, then it’s better to choose one thing - for example, a tweed jacket and a plain skirt or trousers.
Unsuitable fabrics
Completely non-recommended tissues in adulthood include:
- shiny materials;
- brocade;
- jacquard;
- dense, with a velvet pattern, reminiscent of furniture upholstery.
However, the latter option will not make the image stylish and attractive at any age.
Incorrect style selected
Fashionable mature women should avoid so-called style extremes. For example, choose flirtatiously romantic clothes with lots of ruffles and flounces, other details more suitable for girls, or prefer shocking avant-garde looks.You definitely can't go wrong if you stick to the classics, sometimes diluted with a touch of chic.
Unsuccessful jeans model
Denim trousers are present in almost any wardrobe; they are worn, as they say, by both young and old. But not every model of jeans will look stylish and attractive: low rise, excessive fit, folds, inconsistency in size - all this looks ridiculous, makes the figure unattractive and makes you look older.
Reference. Straight jeans and mid-rise bell-bottoms that are trendy today will make your look modern and fashionable.
No need to wear this:
And this is quite appropriate and stylish:
Even if you don't have an impeccable sense of style, following these simple recommendations will help you look attractive and at least a little younger. Select items by size, in accordance with your color type, focusing on your lifestyle and taking into account fashion trends, and you will definitely manage to look young and feminine.
