What can I do to make myself look older?

What can i do to make myself look older?

  • i'm 18 and don't look it at all..i'm sick of people thinking i'm 14 (i'm really short) is there anything that will help me look my age?

  • Answer:

    aw, don't make fun! Just think about how you'll love it when you're in your 30s! lol. I'm guessing you're a girl right? a new haircut makes you look older. In general, shorter hair looks more sophisticated than longer hair. Also, don't dress in abercrombie-graphic-tee+jeans+sneakers, but wearing that kind of stuff makes you look a lot younger. For jeans, try trouser cut (these are going to get popular soon...they're on the runway), skinny, or straight-leg, stay away from flared. Also, aim for dark wash jeans. Don't just wear jeans all the time though. Johnson-styled shorts look really nice...they're like woolish thick material and will look better than cotton shorts on you. For skirts, try to get A-line skirts that hit you just above the knee. This will give you some volume and is actually the most flattering type of skirt for any figure. ummm. you could do anything with tops--tees, sweaters, polos, button-ups, etc. Of course, once in whileyou just need to get in some comfy jeans and an old tee, but other, more polished clothing will make you look older. Casual dresses are also nice. You can make them look less dressy by pairing them with colored tights and flats. For coats get a winter peacoat and a light trench for spring/fall. For shoes you could wear flats as an alternative to sneakers. They're comfy and polished looking. Of course, heels are the best for shortness, but you definitely don't want to walk around campus in heels on a daily basis. Invest in some quality heels that are COMFORTABLE

Different hair styles can make people look younger and older. Try on different clothes and look in a mirror to see if you think you look older. Make up can make you look older especially eye liner. Ask your friends what they think too. Eye liner some times Good luck! :)

Well I'm 19 and people often think I'm like 17 but as soon as they start to know me better they realize they're not talking to an 17 yo. Its in the attitude and way of thinking and also the way you express yourself. But if you really say it is your physical appearance that bothers you so much try a more mature and classy clothing style, an haircut that makes you look more mature and maybe a bad shaved beard :D It's sure that if you are small and look a bit younger and plus that you wear fancy sneakers baggy-pants and brightly colored sweater you will look like a teenager so avoid that kind of clothing looks. you can always change styles but more importantly, stay yourself!

Maybe a different hairstyle?

Seriously, are you my twin? I'm 18, 5'1 and people think I'm 15 due to my stature. What I do is I get a classy hairstyle, I apply a bit more makeup than the average person, but not too much! You should still have your daytime & evening look. I make sure I buy clothing that flatters my body and makes me look my age. I've started doing my shopping at BodyC.com and Charlotte Russe. Their clothes are trendy and mature. I just tell myself, I'm going to look great when I hit my 40's!
