QUIT wearing cozy (and ugly) shoes as the first step toward 10 ways to look ten years younger.
- I inquired what kind of shoes you like in a poll that I recently conducted.
What do you think? Like most of us, I like to wear flat shoes instead of heels. The survey’s results are displayed below. Just 12% of us love wearing heels, compared to 88% who adore flat shoes.
But that doesn’t mean you have to forgo style simply because you want to go about in flats or cozy shoes.
Right now, there are a ton of amazing shoes available!
You can change your appearance to appear current and fashionable while remaining totally at ease!
You don’t have to wear uncomfortable shoes to be comfortable; there are tons of classy options available that can change your shoes and instantly improve your entire outfit.
- Inappropriate Capris or Pant Lengths
The incorrect length of pants, capris, crops, or culottes might make you appear older.
The mistake made by many ladies is to choose for capris that stop mid-calf. In actuality, that is where your leg broadest points.
You know what that will do, right? It will draw attention to the largest area of your leg, which will increase weight.
It will give you a more sultry and chubby appearance. That is not what we desire!
Rather, choose for jeans that fall to the ankle or slightly higher, emphasizing the thinnest portion of your limb and enhancing your youthful appearance.
- Bras That Fit Badly
I am aware that many ladies frequently wear those stretchy, cozy bras because they are so comfy.
I adore those that you can wear around the house and feel completely clothed in.
They resemble a large elastic rubberband that across your chest and secures your breasts; they don’t have any clasps or underwires.
They don’t, nevertheless, truly keep the gals in place as they ought to.
In addition, gravity takes control if you’re over 50 as I am, making things less cheerful than they once may have been.
The support and lift that these stretch bras are supposed to provide you to make you look younger are not provided.
Get fitted for an updated bra if you want to lose a few years off your appearance, improve the fit of your garments, and enhance the way your body looks.
Very comfy bras are still available. All you need to do is get fitted professionally for a bra that suits your body and doesn’t make you want to shift around.
Getting fitted is advised by the majority of lingerie specialists at least once a year and as frequently as every six months.
Invest in a high-quality bra, especially if you just wear it out to events or on the weekends.
Your body will appear more graceful and years will melt off if you save your stretchy bra for lazy days at home.
- Bold and Statement Necklaces
Give up wearing oversized, gaudy jewelry.
I’m sure that those of us who grew up in the 1980s were admirers of the large, chunky earrings, necklaces, and accessories that matched our outrageously long hair!
But the style of today is incredibly elegant and subtle. Select thinner, more refined necklaces as opposed to bulky, eye-catching ones.
If you wear fewer large, aggressive necklaces, your appearance will be more refined and you will look younger and more modern.
Alternatively, try for lighter gold, silver, or rose gold necklaces. Pendants are in, as are short chains. Wear them by itself or decide to stack multiples. These days, it’s fashionable to combine pendants and chains made of the same metal.
- Excessive Black Clothing
I’m the one that did this! My closet was made up only of black, gray, and white items for a while.
I lived in black most of the time for years; it was my go-to color.
I adore black because it’s so stylish and timeless.
through GIPHY
But as I’ve aged, I’ve come to understand that BLACK is quite harsh on the skin, particularly when worn close to the face.
Under-eye circles are visible.
It ages you and creates lines.
Don’t wear all black; instead, incorporate some color.
Put a small scarf around your neck, for instance.
Put on a sweater or blouse with a gorgeous color.
Bring some vibrant glasses or a striking bag to add some color to your outfit.
- Pantyhose in nude
This could be the main factor aging a woman.
Donning pantyhose that are either skin-colored or nude.
I understand that some of you are thinking things like, “I have spider veins,” “my ankles are in terrible shape,” “I have freckles or sun damage,” or “my legs are pasty because I haven’t been out in the sun.”
What do you know?
It appears far more fashionable than pantyhose!
So discard the pantyhose that are naked.
You can either accept your legs as they are and wear them bare, or you can purchase tanning products that make your legs appear tanned.
Keep your legs clean, use a hydrating cream, and use a self-tanner to get a golden glow.
It has a profound effect and effectively removes years from your face.
- Street clothes and running shoes
Running shoes do date your style, even though you may not think so.
Change out those jogging shoes for something more stylish, refined, and youthful-looking.
Unless you’re sprinting! Of course, put on your sneakers if you’re participating in physical activity.
But don’t wear your athletic sneakers with jeans, a short skirt, or a skort if you want a more contemporary, fresh style.
Alternatively, choose some spotless white sneakers.
A simple pair of white sneakers will modernize your appearance and give you a contemporary edge.
It’s a really easy method to give your wardrobe a makeover!
- You Don’t Revise Your Look
How recently did you change the way you look?
Even though I enjoy discussing traditional and preppy looks, I still think current affairs are important.
Every year, I still adore adding new items to my wardrobe and updating it. Because it will eventually need to be updated, regardless of the style you wear.
Furthermore, when was the last time you changed your glasses, jewelry, or even your hairstyle?
While you don’t have to follow every craze or trend, you still want to be current and relevant.
Even if you may be sticking to a classic look or style, there are nonetheless recurring trends that will update the aesthetic without becoming a passing fad.
Unlike fads, which go out of style almost as fast as they arrive, trends develop gradually and fade over time.
In order to ensure that your wardrobe remains stylish for many years to come, consider updating your appearance from time to time.
Seek for modern takes on timeless styles, such as those from any of these 20 iconic labels.
Make sure to change your hair at least once every year or two. Some of my acquaintances have had their hairstyles the same for twenty or even thirty years. They haven’t changed their hairstyle since college!
To remain current, you should update that appearance.
Take a look and see what trendy, contemporary hairstyles are available right now.
From a jewelry perspective, what are people doing?
As I previously stated, staying current is important even though you don’t have to follow every trend; doing so will also help you look ten years younger.
Uncertain of your personal style? How to Develop Your Own Personality
- Drugstore Reading Glasses at a Discount
Yes, these affordable and stylish glasses are a great deal.
But they will make you look so much older!
They have those tiny half-eyes that, when you wear them down on the tip of your nose, glance down at everyone through your glasses.
10. An efficient and simple way to announce to the world that you’re over 50!
Rather than opting for those inexpensive readers, which will undoubtedly make you appear older, spend your money on a good pair of modern spectacles that fit your style and sit well on your face.10. Overly Long Skirts
Excessively long skirts are one of those items that might truly make you appear older, sluggish, and uninspired.
Although I am aware that long midi and maxi skirts are in style, I would advise against wearing longer skirts if you want to appear younger.
As women reach a certain age, we often buy longer and longer skirts to cover up when we acquire weight or stop loving the way our legs appear.
Regretfully, the outcome is the reverse of what we intended. Our appearance becomes dowdy due to the weight of those long skirts.
Anything longer than knee length should be avoided.
For ladies over fifty, I believe that knee-length or just above the knee is the most attractive style. For most ladies, it is a lovely and flattering length.
Conversely, midi skirts fall precisely at the mid-calf.
The term “mid” refers to the broadest point of your calf, which is “boom!” halfway between the knee and the foot.
Anything that touches you at this point will therefore make you appear extremely old and ugly.
Your skirts will appear years younger if you wear them knee-length or longer.
