in this article, we’re going to look at some outfits that can make you look a little older than you are and some ways to look more modern and current I don’t think any of us want to look younger necessarily but we don’t want to look older than we are and we don’t want to look frumpy and we want to look modern and current and that’s what this article is about. Now, let me get into what to wear and what not to wear.
Excess Fabric and Baggy Layers
If you put on too much fabric, it gives a bulky look and an oversized effect that can unknowingly age you. Oversized pieces tend to be unstructured, which automatically means less form, and thus, you will look frumpy. Instead, opt for items that offer some form of shaping, like a tailored jacket or cinched waist. If you’re layering, stick a fitted piece underneath and balance it with something just oversized on top. The trick is to not drown in fabric by picking something that adds shape without extra size.
Outdated Styles
Five or ten years ago fashions can turn you into a mama if they are not up to date. There is no need to run after every new trend, but adding a little bit of something fresh to your wardrobe gives it a modern touch. Every 2-3 years, replace staples like jeans or jackets to avoid looking out of fashion. To avoid even more common fashion mistakes, don’t miss this helpful article.
Add a piece into the mix that is a classic cut but with a modern sort of spin (for example, a high-waist pant or minimalist blazer). You want to wear a new look but still feel like yourself.
Boxy Tops & Short Sleeve
Loose flowing tops/short sleeves can be very unflattering and can make the upper part of your body look bulkier making you age 5-10 years older.
Instead of boxy tops that have little shape, opt for tops with inherent shaping, even just a hint of tapering. A front or side little tuck will also offer some definition at your waist, and a lack of shape to the outfit. To balance out the look, alginate your figure and keep things fresh and crisp, pair structured tops with a tailored bottom.
Shoes You Wear but Do Not Look Good In
Comfortable shoes are a must, but they can also be chic. Some particularly bulky styles, such as round toes, appear dated or frumpy. Opt for comfortable and fashionable shoes instead!
Choose pointed-toe flats, chic loafers, or even orthopedic-savvy brands that pay attention to support and stylishness. These silhouettes also come across as more dressy and can jazz up even a simple look. Comfort and style need not be separate, the right shoes can enhance your appearance completely.
Leaving Shirts Untucked
Letting shirts hang untucked, which forms a bit of a shapeless mass below the waist, is true if you want to disguise your midsection. Even though an untucked shirt may seem comfortable, it will rise up sentimentally and not establish a shape for your figure.
An effortless front or side tuck provides some definition without sacrificing comfort. This mini styling hack creates the illusion of a waist and provides balance through proportions in your outfit. If you don’t feel like tucking, then choose tops that are meant to be worn untucked but possess some type of shape.
Prints That Look Outdated
Prints, specific large florals, or geometric designs may make an outfit feel old-fashioned or overpowering. The prints also tend to get noticed, not always in a flattering way. Instead, pick smaller patterns that are timeless such as polka dots, stripes, or delicate florals that will not dominate your frame. Bold colours are a great option too as they can be dressed up or down. Good prints can make your outfit and will not age you.
LENGTHS OF SKIRTS & DRESSES THAT ARE UNFLATTERING
Knee-length skirts and dresses can sometimes shorten the look of your legs and create an old-fashioned silhouette. If you want a micro length, then do it above the knee for a youthful look. Otherwise, lengths that hit right below the knee or all the way to the ankles—maxi or midi—give a long-line look that is super-chic at the moment. Opting for a length that best flatters and compliments add sophistication while keeping the frumpy feeling at bay (there’s nothing worse than, an ill-fitted or badly proportioned hemline).
Capris and Calf-Length Pants
Capri pants, or any pants that end in the middle of your calf, can also create a leg-shortening effect which can make you look frumpy or older than you are.
Instead, go with ankle-length pants, which flatter everyone and elongate the leg line. They are also a bit more versatile because you can wear all kinds of shoes with them in different styles. For a cropped silhouette, seek tailored fits that end just above the ankle for a more modern and flattering alternative than calf grazers.
Super Skinny Jeans and Jeggings
Very tight or stretchy jeans, like jeggings and super skinny jeans, can come off as too casual or dated. Instead of jeggings, try a more tailored skinny jean or even straight jeans for a chic, refined finish. Straight leg / Classic fit jeans — This pair of jeans lies somewhere between fitted and relaxed, so it will allow you to have a versatile piece that can add a little interest to your outfits.
Quality denim classic jeans can be comfortable, but also keep you looking modern and age-appropriate.
Makeup In A Hurry Which Is Not Blended Properly
The biggest downside to doing your makeup in a hurry is the tells: separated foundation, uneven blush tones, or patchy eyeshadow all contribute to an older or more fatigued look. Blend that makeup — see foundation and blush; give it an extra second to blend nicely for a seamless, natural look.
Blend it with the help of a makeup sponge or blending brush to avoid any lines. Properly blended make-up definitely gives a glow to the skin, making it look youthful, and complimenting your outfit by looking graceful and fresh. This little step can make you look great and also it adds overall charm to your appearance.
Refining Your Style and Experimenting With New Looks

Simple things such as getting a new hairstyle, wearing accessories, and experimenting with colors help change your look. This is a great way to discover some new favorites and expand your closet diversity so do not be afraid to step outside of your box. Updating them regularly gives your style a fresh feel.
