Even 20+ year old people can look older just by the style of clothes they are wearing and how those clothes fit.

7. V-Neck Shirts – V-neck shirts make your neckline look more flattering and youthful.
8. Cotton Jeans – Don’t wear those stretchy fiber jeans because they do not hold shape. Stretchy fabric creates dimples. Try to find jeans that are mostly cotton only a small percent of spandex or elastane.
9. Undergarments – The correct fitting bra will take 10 years off of your appearance. Bra’s that don’t fit right will give you an invisible waistline and give you odd looking posture.

24. Color Your Gray Hair – Gray hair is a sure fire way to let people know you are older. Get a licensed hair stylist to color your hair professionally for the best results. Box color uses cheaper chemicals that will make the hair color look unrealistic. A licensed hair stylist will know exactly what kind of color works best for your specific type of hair.
25. Believe – Believe it or not, just believing in your mind that you are younger will actually make you feel that way. Don’t let yourself keep saying “I feel old”, instead, why not try repeating to yourself “I am young”. Do this over and over till you even believe it yourself. Others will take notice!

Yes, our youth obsessed culture will have you think that everyone over the age of 30 should either a.) dress like Miley Cyrus or b.) wear horrible mommy jeans and Christmas sweaters. Yes, we know, many trends are geared for the younger generation (very few people over the age of 14 can wear neon leggings), but it’s the seasoned fashionista who can exude real style. If you’ve crossed the 60-year mark and still want to keep it poppin’, here’s some tips on how to do it”.
