Things you think can make you look older than your years!

His and hers dingy purple mountain warehouse anoraks.
Dull colours generally.

A dear (male) friend once said 'mutton dressed as lamb' is bad enough but 'carrion dressed as mutton' is worse! What a charmer he was (not).
I was looking at some 'young' clothes today. They looked very trendy and I could fit them but - I just didn't want to. Not sure why. They just weren't me somehow.

I suppose the "crash helmet", heavily set hairstyle is quite ageing, but then for some people it's needed, so they can manage it themselves.

I agree with your friends. Old lady shoes, badly cut jeans, and an old fashioned hairstyle are all matronly giveaways I think. As with Miss A I don’t want to offend anybody, because they are all unimportant in the big scheme of things, but people do notice, and I don’t think a big smile and a friendly face stops them doing so.

Clothes.

Yes! I agree not a fan myself of plastic surgery each to their own of course but not for me! Yes what’s wrong with looking your age! But then I’m comfortable with myself and how I look! Agree good haircut flattering clothes for your shape and positive attitude works wonders lovebeigecardigans

I guess in most peoples minds how you dress, to a certain extent, can indicate your personality and approach to life?

No makeup (unless you’re blessed with looking good without). Also too much makeup!

A few things come to mind, but I don't want to offend anyone who has and enjoys them.
Sweatshirts with pictures of wolves or other wild animals on.
Specially if you have the matching throw and cushion covers.

I think a baggy cardigan, with a shapeless frock, a disastrous perm (which doesn't suit you) and scuffed sandals can look very unflattering.

OTOH, a good hairstyle, lipstick, trendy earrings and a style of dressing which nods to the latest fashion without being a slave to it can knock years off.

I'm not keen on plastic surgery - what's wrong with looking your age anyway? A positive, cheerful attitude and an open mind are what really matters IMHO.
