Nutrition, fitness and advanced cosmetic procedures may keep you well preserved far beyond the teen years.
But if you don't keep up to date, your wardrobe will end up telling your true age. Try these easy tips to make you look (and feel) younger:
Good Jeans
You don't have to don the latest skinny jeans, but a nod to current trends shows you're up to date. Look for a dark wash, slim (not skinny) legs with a boot cut.
Raise the Waist
Take advantage of empire shapes that create a waistline that is higher (and slimmer) than your natural waistline.
Shoes Matter
We're all for comfort. But even upscale labels like Cole Haan have comfort options so there's no reason to go around wearing white sneakers with everything.
The Handbag Tells All
Why schlep a matronly organizer bag when there are plenty of modern, roomy options on the market? If you need to pack heavy, try a high-end designer tote.
Wear a Pretty Dress
Nothing is girlier than a feminine dress, especially when it features flirty details and shows off a bit of skin. Want more cover? Add a delicate wrap or a soft cardigan.
Have Some Fun
Remember how much fun it used to be to play dress up as a girl? Mismatch prints. Wear a loud colour. Mix a punk bracelet with a preppy polo shirt. Shatter the myth that women of a "certain age" are supposed to be restrained.
Go Long and Lean
Recapture the figure of your youth by using visual tricks to produce long, lean lines. Slim-cut jeans with a bootcut bottom, topped by an empire top, finished off with high heel boots are a good start.
Follow a Silly Trend
Go ahead: slip on footless tights or don a newsboy cap. If you try to keep up with every trend you'll just end up looking like a fashion victim (this applies to every age). But following the occasional trend can jolt you out of the fashion doldrums.
Slick on Flavoured Lip Gloss
No one will know but you and your sweetie, but it will definitely turn back the clock to those early teen years when this little bit of makeup made you feel so cool!
Get a Lift
Give Mother Nature a helping hand by using the right undergarments to lift, tuck and hold your way back into your high school figure.
