Dressing to feel youthful is a powerful tonic to banish the blues and remain visible, but there are pitfalls to avoid.No one wants to look like a mutton dressed as a lamb, but other clothes can make us look older than we actually are.

Oversized outfits

Wearing an ill-fitting outfit can date your style and make you look older. Oversized suits or blazers can be fashion-forward but when they’re too baggy they can add you unwarranted years.

They make you look heavy and old. Simply wear outfits that fit you perfectly and highlight your best features it's everyone’s dream to wear something that accentuates her body, leaving her feeling chic and sophisticated.

Block heels

If you’re trying to look mature married with four kids, then block heels will do the trick. However, if that’s not the case, then look for shoes that make you look current and young.

You seriously do not want to look like a bankrupt old divorcee.

Matching set of jewellery

This is so fashion-backwards. You could be wondering, what could possibly go wrong with a matching set of earrings, bracelet and necklaces? this fashion trend is so outdated. It only attracts attention for the wrong purposes.

Completely black outfit

Black is bold, I get it. Watch out not to overdo it. When you dress in the dark hue head-to-toe, the outfit makes you look ill, washed out and considerably older. You can still wear black, but opt for pops of color to create balance.

Putting your best foot forward when it comes to what you wear is such a flex. Fashion trends come and go and you should be flexible enough for new unplanned fashion trends.
