7 Tips to Dress Younger Without Looking Like A Teen

It's fall, so it's the perfect time of the year to revamp your wardrobe. We have seven tips to help you ease into a new fall look. Read on for some fall wardrobe inspiration.

WEAR SHORTER FITTED JACKETS

It’s tempting to try to hide a few extra pounds under a long topper or sweater, but that length creates an unflattering tent-like look. Worse, it tends to end at your widest point – and that isn’t a good thing! Short nipped jackets and figure fitting sweaters create a younger, slimmer, more flattering look.

SHORTEN YOUR HEMLINES

It’s so tempting to wear longer skirts and dresses, but it is very difficult to get the mid-calf look right. Longer skirts can look frumpy and add pounds. Keep your skirts and dresses just above or knee length. Want to lose a couple more pounds, instantly? Pull the hem in, just a little. It creates a lovely, flattering line and is an inexpensive alteration on most skirts. 

ADD PINK 

Pink looks youthful and is a fun colour. The key is to wear a pink that works well with your skin tone, and with colours ranging from rose to magenta to coral, you can easily find a pink that works for you. Add a statement piece if you are bold, or a few accessories if you just want a hint of pink. Tip: Deeper skin tones go with deeper pink tones. 

WEAR NUDE

Heels in Your Skin Tone Want longer legs? Look for simple, clean styles. A pair of nude heels creates the look of a longer, sleeker leg. This trick is super effective under those skirts you just shortened!

USE THE CORRECT HOOK ON YOUR BRA

Your bra can make or break your look. The wrong sized bra can make you look heavier, shorter and older. When buying a bra, it should fit firmly on the loosest hook, as you wear the bra and it stretches over time, you should move to the tighter hooks. Look to replace your bras every six to eight months especially if you are wearing this bra frequently. 

GRAB A PAIR OF SLIDES

Lucky us! Slides are back in style! Not only are they comfy to wear, but they instantly update your wardrobe to current trends. Not into flats? Swap those chunky heels and platforms (we know you still have them) for sleek pumps and kitten heels to slim down and lengthen the look of your legs.

INVEST IN A NEW PAIR OF JEANS

Yes, those old jeans are comfy, but that loose seat isn’t doing your booty any favours. Look for a new pair of jeans that fits your hips and waist well, and don’t forget to turn around and get a peek at your behind. We are looking for that sexy booty lady!

  • This article is so real…. A few weeks ago one of the mature ladies at church had such a fresh and different look. She wore a dress that was above her knees…. color blocked with pink on the sides and white in the center, she wore a jacket because the dress was sleeveless. Your article is so true!!!!!!
