Clothing Choices That Are Making You Look Older

12. Choose the right layers

Layers are trendy and functional. Layers help transition your outfit from day to evening and provide extra warmth as the weather changes. Put too many wrong pieces together though, and you create frumpy volume that makes you look older and less shapely. Pair tunic-length tops with skinny jeans or leggings and add a boxy jacket for a slimming, well-dressed look that's comfortable. Wear a long sweater, long sweater vest, or kimono over a fitted dress. Pair a trendy faux fur vest with a thinner, lightweight sweater to avoid mixing bulky fabrics. When wearing fuller skirts, avoid long tops or tops that have peplum bottoms as these create extra fluff in the midsection, which none of us need. Instead, pair long or full skirts with slim-fitting blouses or tops and add a belt to draw attention to the waist and elongate the body.
