10 FASHION MISTAKES

FOUNTAIN OF 30  

THAT MAKE YOU  LOOK OLDER

“”

You can wear anything as long as you wear it right. When you get to your 40’s you start to second guess some of the trends you used to wear, and you should. There are some fashion mistakes that make you look older.

FASHION MISTAKES TO AVOID 

10

1.  WEARING ALL BLACK

Black especially around your face is too harsh and shows every wrinkle. It actually ages you. Lighten up!

Do not go frumpy. If you have a great body, wear fitted clothes. If you don’t have a flawless figure STILL wear fitted clothes, only less fitted in the areas you don’t want to accentuate.

2.  WEARING  SHAPELESS CLOTHING

3.  WEARING JERSEY

Jersey is NOT your friend. It shows every bump and bulge. Opt for stiffer fabrics like cotton and wool. 

4.  GETTING TRAPPED IN YOUR FAVORITE DECADE

Yes, some 90’s trends are back, but the actual clothes you wore that decade are not.

5.  DRESSING LIKE YOUR DAUGHTER 

If you have a 17 year-old daughter please resist the urge to raid her closet or buy what she buys. You will not look cool in a crop top (I don’t care if you have a six-pack) nor in short shorts.

6.  DRESSING LIKE YOUR MOTHER

You are not 80 and even if you are, don’t dress it! Now if you want to borrow your mom’s Chanel bag, that’s another story…

7.  NOT UPDATING YOUR ACCESSORIES

Jewelry, bags, shoes and glasses are the easiest and some of the least expensive ways to update your look each season.

8.  HIDING TOO MUCH SKIN

Covering every inch of your body including your neck is a dead giveaway that you are hiding. A v-neck or a longer necklace will draw the attention away from your neck.

9.  SHOWING TOO MUCH SKIN

Don’t go there! (See dressing like your daughter). It’s time to leave a little to the imagination.

10.  WEARING CHUNKY SHOES

Leave this trend to the millennials. Chunky shoes also make your legs look heavy. Stick with a slimming pointy toe pump or flat instead. And never, ever wear heavy, ugly walking shoes that are “so comfortable.”
