Dressing Well- Are you sure you are dressing well to look younger?

I am sure this post is going to be really exciting. Many of us(especially girls) want to look years younger than our age. Well, that is certainly possible. With greater media influence and the increasing pressure for women especially to look attractive and younger, many women (maybe man as well) feel intimidated by their age/looks. Remember at the back of your mind, age is but just a number. Regardless of whether you are in your 30s, 40s, or even 50s, you can find the perfcet style, colour, pattern and design in your clothing to cut that age. Yes, you also have to remember how you present yourself will certainly help to do that. Here's some of the tips.



However, before we continue, you've got to be true to yourself. Be true to yourself about your age. So if you are 45 years old, declare that in your mind, and say to yourself, 'yes i am 45, but i want to look 10 years younger'. You've got to be true to yourself and know what can be done and what is realistic. I am not here to make an 80 year-old grandmother look like a 21 year old girl-next-door. We have to be realistic and know what can be done. But regardless of what your current age, you CAN look 10 years younger by following these tips.

Dress To Appear Younger (BUT SENSIBLY) Than Your Actual Age
1. Clothes That Fit You Just Nicely. 

It is important to wear something that just fits nicely to your body. Not something too big, or too small. If you are wearing something too baggy, or an oversized T-shirt, it may look like your body is bigger and fatter and it will visually seem like you are older. Have you ever noticed if there is 2 person of the same age; the one who is obese tends to look older than the one who is skinny and thin? Well, i guess psychologically that additional visual size you put on your body create an older persona. 


2. Wear Clothes That Looks New.
If you have clothes that look old, worn out, tattered, and ragged, THROW them away. Wearing something old, tattered can in fact make you look older. For goodness sake, if you have clothes that have holes, dump them! These clothes will not only make you look like you are poor financially(others may think you dont have money to purchase new clothes), but it will make your age faster. Remember to wear something that looks new, iron them if you need to, remove the stains and dirt.


 3. Colours!

Well these may be a little contrasting to my previous posts in which i suggested wearing dark colours to show a slimmer, more authoritative you. But to make yourself look younger, wear bright colours. According to a research study, wearing something of bright colours can help to give the impression that you are a more cheerful person, and in return can give the impression of a youthful you. Usually people of the ages in the 40s and 50s wouldnt wear something that is too striking, or something in bright colours. Only youths in their teens and 20s would That is precisely why people in the 40s and 50s will never look younger. Be daring you 'old' folks. Learn to dress like the youngesters in their 20s. Dont be afraid to wear bright colours like yellow, blue, cyan, pink etc. But just remember colour of the clothing is one thing, the design is another. Dont wear something too outlandish and inappropriate for your age. Just choose bright colours!

4. T-Shirts!

If there is no need for you to dress formally for either a meeting, important event, wear casual T-shirts! People often associate casual t-shirts with young teenagers/adults! So if you are in your 40s, 30s, 50s, grab a T-shirt and maybe suit that with a jean. There you go! You'll look trendy, youthful and 10 years younger! I had a male music instructor who was 36 when he taught me music. I was surprised when he told me that! I thought he was just like 25 or 26 years old. He wore casual T-shirts every lesson and a hat to match it off. He really looked like one youngster who just graduated from college.

5. Dresses and Sneakers! 


If you are a female who wants to look younger, certainly you've got to wear those dresses! I know many females who by the time they reach 40/50, tend to discard their dresses and go for the usual top and long pants. PLEASE! Wear dresses! Something that is not too outlandish and revealing, but something looks just right for the eye. You know what i mean. Dont be shy, just because you are older now doesnt mean you cant wear dresses. Wearing a dress can cut those extra ages and make yourself look feminine and youthful. Remember to choose the right colour though!

As for the man, wear those snickers when you are out taking a walk, window-shopping, or just going to the grocery store! Sneakers are not for young teenage cool boys! Older man in the 40s and 50s can wear sneakers too to look younger, trendier and youthful! Dont just go out with bermudas and slippers! You look really like an 'ah pek' (slank in Singapore for an old man).

6. Accessories!

Now, getting the right accessories to look younger can be hard though! The trick though in here is 'Less Is More'. Since you are already of a certain age, and want to look more youthful, it is best to remember not to wear too much of them, and look very outlandish and inappropriate as this will instead of making you look younger, it will exxaggerate the fact of your age. Imagine a 55 year old woman, carrying a strikingly pink hellp kitty purse, wearing extraordinarily short mini-shirt, wearing a big round earrings that dangles its way 10cm down her ears, wearing massively huge gold plated necklace that looks like they are 20 lbs heavy, and an 80s polka-dotted top to match it off. That is beyond ridiculous!

I will suggest to look younger, sometimes simplicity is the key to get the right accessories. Get a simple earing/stud(for females), light necklace, and maybe a small black purse that suits/bag someone 10 years younger your age. You can also wear those heels if you want(but not those high 8 inches heels). Get a 2 inches high heels. For guys, wear a watch. Maybe a nike/adidas watch to show the sporty of you as this will make you more youthful. People have the impression that you are still a young healthy active chap!

OTHER IMPORTANT TIPS TO LOOK YOUNGER!

i) Do your homework. Check the current trend in fashion for those 10 years younger than you! See what they are wearing so that you know the kind of wardrobe collection you should be having!


ii) Smile. Smiling is psychologically able to create a youthful appearance on you! Not only that, you will have lesser wrinkles and can age slower! Moreover, is doesnt cost a cent to smile! Say 'CHEESSEE'!

iii) Hairdo. Having the important hairstyle to make yourself look younger! Many women tend to cut their long hair upon reaching menopause or 50 years old. DONT! Keep those long hair as it will make you more youthful! Tie them neatly into a bun/ ponytail. Just remember to choose the right hairband. For guys, it is perfectly normal to use gels and wax even in your 50s and 60s. Comb your hair neatly to give yourself a clean and youthful image! In regards to white hair, you can opt to dye your hair if you want! Just make sure to get a quality hair dye!

iv) Stop smoking, and drinking. Stop these habits! Believe it or not, smoking can make you age faster than you think. Do not think the intimidating image on the cigarette packet are there just to haunt you, but they are real! People do get cancer from smoking, people do age faster, and you will look like you are sick! Please! Save those money buying cigarettes and make yourself look younger!

v) Judge your face, do you need make-up? Some people may need a little touch up on their face to accentuate certain facial features to make themselves look younger! Some people, infact, dont need any make-up to look younger. There are some people who looks really bad and old with make-up on! Judge for yourself! If you just need a foundation, then use it! If you need a light pink lipstick to make yourself look younger, use them! Some people may want to further accentuate their big eyes so that it makes them look younger, go ahead and use a mascara or eyeliner! You know yourself best!

vi) Trim unwanted facial hairs! Well if you are a guy, most probably you have some beard, or moustache growing on your face. If you want to look younger, trim there. Yes get rid of them completely! Or at least, if you do not want to trim them completely, at leat keep them neat and clean. Having unkempt long messy facial hairs can really make you decades older.

vii) Exercise and eating healthy. Like i have said a million times, exercising and eating right will not only make you healthier. It will make you look younger! When you exercise, there is a chemical produced in the body that helps you age slower. Also, when you have a nice fit toned body, many will judge that you look more youthful! Trust me! That additional belly and fats you've got will only make you look uglier, and older!

viii) Positive Mindset. Having a positive mindset is also important to look younger! Telling yourself that you are young regardless of what, will in turn make you feel young! When you keep thinking for yourself as young, you will be young! What you think is what you attract! HAvent you heard of it?
