With these tips, people do estimate your age correctly
When you are a little younger, it’s often a compliment when people think you look a bit older. As you get older, however, that’s not what you want…. Did you know that there are several fashion mistakes that can easily make you look a lot older? We list eight of them for you.
8. An all-black outfit
Black dresses down, we all know that. Still, an all-black outfit is not a good idea if you want people to judge your age correctly. In fact, black can make you look quite pale, which will automatically make people rate your age higher. Combine a black outfit with some color and you’ll see that it’s a much more beautiful and youthful look!
7. Large jewelry (especially pearls)
Large jewelry is not exactly in style right now. Instead, people are increasingly opting for smaller, inconspicuous jewelry. In this way, jewelry is just that extra something that makes your outfit look great, rather than taking over your entire look. Moreover, smaller jewelry not only makes you look more stylish, but also makes you look a little younger. An extra tip: avoid pearls, as they quickly make an outfit look corny.

6. Brown stockings or tights
Tights or stockings can really complete many outfits. It’s hard to go wrong with a black pair of tights, but a brown pair can be a bit tricky. Especially brown tights in a shade darker than your own skin tone are not a good idea. This is because it will make your legs look fake tanned, which will quickly make you look older.
5. Black eye makeup
Just like an all-black outfit, all-black makeup can make you appear pale. Moreover, that thick black eyeliner will only accentuate your lines and wrinkles. It’s wiser to go for brown, olive green or gray with your eye makeup. This will not only make your eyes look more beautiful, but also make you look younger.

4. Clothing with floral print
We’re not averse to clothing with a fun print, but you shouldn’t overdo it. By choosing one printed item and combining it with an otherwise quiet outfit, you make sure you don’t come across as someone who wants to be too hip. Be especially careful with floral printed clothes: if they are too wide, you will quickly look like your grandmother. So choose a garment that fits your body well.
3. Long skirts
Another garment that can quickly make you look old-fashioned is the long skirt. If you pair a long skirt with the wrong shoes or top, the whole thing quickly looks quite bitchy. Opt for a close-fitting top and a nice pair of heels, and you can get away with it.

2. Silk scarves
Silk scarves seem useful for hiding wrinkles and lines on your neck. However, they also make your upper body look longer and make your outfit stand out. Not ideal if you don’t want to be considered as old. Hence, the silk scarf is better left in the closet.
1. Dark lipstick
Finally, in addition to dark eye makeup, dark lipstick is not a good idea if you want to appear youthful. It not only draws unnecessary attention, but also makes you look older. Therefore, it is a better idea to go for a neutral or light shade on your lips.
