11 Mistakes You Are Making That Cause You to Look Older
There are two things in life that are guaranteed – you’re going to pay taxes and you’re going to die. That’s kind of a morbid and depressing way to start off an article but it’s the truth. No one wants to get older, yet it’s a process we all go through whether we like it or not. However, there are certain things that are making you look older than you really are. In an effort to keep you looking as youthful as possible, I’ve come up with a list of 11 mistakes you could be making which you need to address and fix as soon as possible.
1. Only Wearing Dark Colors
While they say the color black is slimming, it should be noted that if all you do is wear dark clothing you will give off the vibe that you’re boring and old. Freshen things up with some brighter colors every once in a while and step away from the dark browns and blacks to make yourself look younger and more stylish.
2. Wearing Baggy Clothing
I’m not saying you need to have a tailor on speed-dial, but it is well worth the investment to purchase clothing that fits your body type and isn’t too loose or baggy. When you purchase baggy clothing, it does not lay nicely on your physique and if you’ve worked hard to attain a rock-hard physique, the last thing you want is extra fabric floating around making you look old and frumpy. Get your loose clothing tailored or size down slightly to achieve a better and more flattering fit.
3. Rocking Sweatpants
We are living in the greatest era ever when it comes to athleisure. Rocking a pair of sweatpants around town or even in the gym gives off an older vibe – something you don’t want unless you want to look like your dad or grandfather. With the advent of form-fitting joggers for men and yoga pants for women, you can walk around town feeling relaxed and comfortable, while showing off your physique and looking young and stylish at the same time. Gentlemen, no, this does not mean wear joggers that are nearly compression fit. Make sure you can still pinch a little fabric around all parts of your leg to ensure you have some extra room for movement while still being slim and form-fitting.
4. Excessive Tanning
I get it – you want that sexy tan all year long and don’t want to go back to looking like Casper the ghost. However, excessive tanning can lead to increased wrinkles which will make you look older than you really are. Not only that but if you use a tanning bed excessively for years, it can cause your skin to look leathery and rough – ultimately prematurely aging you. You’re not the only person with lighter skin who loses their tan when colder months arrive, but in the long-run, by skipping the tanning bed you will protect your skin and also help lower your risk of skin cancer.
