These 10 Fashion Items Will Make You Look 10 Years Older

It can be very frustrating to be told you look older than you are. The good news, however, is that you can avoid hearing this comment by dressing in a way that suits you. Check out these 10 fashion items you need to avoid!

1. Frameless Glasses

We love frameless glasses because they blend into our facial features without a trace, but they're not ideal for the over-50s. Since our skin and hair color fade as we age, frameless glasses can make us look even duller. Instead, it's best to choose wider frames to brighten our faces.

2. Poofy, Big Hairdo

Having a poofy, big hairdo was the right choice back in the 70s and 80s, but it may be out of fashion nowadays. To keep up with the times, you can try some hairstyles that make your hair look softer and silkier.

3. Too Many Flowery Prints

You can't go wrong with a simple floral shirt, but be careful not to overdo it. Too many floral patterns can make you look older and pudgier than you really are.

4. Wear Only Flats

Flats are undeniably comfortable, but sometimes they can't compete with heels for fashion sense. You don't have to wear overly trendy heels; just keep your eyes on heeled booties and kitten heels.

5. Tweed

Tweed is a timeless classic, but sometimes it can age you by a dozen years. Try avoiding formal tweed jackets since they are too rigid and can make you look characterless.

6. Eyeglass Chains

While chain glasses are back in fashion, it's best not to try them. You may end up looking ten years older in reading glasses if they don't suit you. It's better to save money and buy something else instead.

7. Silk Scarves

Do you often use silk scarves to cover up loose skin that you didn't have when you were younger? The fact is that the more you cover them up, the more likely they are to draw attention. Plus, scarves also make your upper body look heavier. Why don't you just show your neck and enjoy life?

8. Too Many Pearls

While pearls represent elegance and prestige, they can age if you wear too many. Instead of wearing pearls, you can experiment with silver pieces, which are cheaper and more durable.

9. Jeans & Sneakers Combo

Middle-aged people often wear jeans and sneaker combinations, but don't let them influence you! Even leggings are a better choice to go with sneakers than pants.

10. Tightly Pulled-Back Hairdo

A tightly pulled-back hairdo makes you look much older and meaner and causes a receding hairline. To prevent this effect, you can let your hair loose and allow some of it to fall on your face.
