The best color in the world is the one that suits you," the fashion icon once said Coco Chanel. However, some styles and colors work better with youth and vitality than others. Have you ever wondered if your wardrobe adds years your appearance? Introducing 10 fashion mistakes, which can age you and tips on how to prevent them. Stay with us and discover how you can maintain your youthful appearance no matter what your age.
1. Avoid an abundance of pastel colors
Pastel colors can be flattering on pale skin, but too many pastel shades can make you look older. If you want to wear bright colors, opt for neutral tones such as nude, ivory, light gray or beige.
2. Don't overdo it with black
The color black is elegant, but it can leave us looking tired and old. If black is a key part of your wardrobe, try wearing a colorful scarf close to your face or add a little more makeup to balance out the dark color.
3. Avoid oversized clothes
Oversized clothes can be comfortable, but they can give the impression that you're hiding something. Instead, try pairing a tight-fitting garment with a looser one for a more flattering look.
4. Outdated glasses
If your glasses are from the previous decade, it's time for a change. Choose a modern frame that will add a touch of fun to your look.
5. The wrong underwear
The right underwear can enhance the look of your clothes. Make sure your bra is the right size and your panties are not showing through your clothes.
6. Fashion trends that have already passed
Old-fashioned trends can make you feel like you're from a bygone era. Instead, invest in classic pieces that are always modern.
7. Inappropriate lipstick
Dark and matte lipsticks can add years to your face. Instead, opt for more natural and radiant shades.
8. Nylons
Nylons are back in fashion, but avoid shades that are too dark. If you're not a fan of bare legs, try self-tanning lotion or opt for opaque stockings or very thin pantyhose in black, navy or nude.
9. Too many matching accessories
Coco Chanel famously said: "Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take off one piece." The fact is, too many statement accessories can get old. Break out your jewelry sets. Do not wear matching earrings, necklaces and bracelets.
Additional point:
10. Too strict a formality
Of course, there are events where it is appropriate to choose a more formal dress, but excessive formality in everyday life can give the impression of being old-fashioned. Try adding some 'chic' casualness to your everyday style with fashionable pieces that can easily be paired with more formal pieces.
Fashion is a wonderful tool that allows us to express ourselves and emphasize our personality. Avoiding these fashion mistakes will help you feel more confident and look younger. All it takes is a little discretion and a sense of style to show the best version of yourself. And as the fashion icon said, Iris Apfel, "the most important thing is to feel good in your own skin. This is true beauty.”
