The stylist called 5 fashion habits that age 40-year-olds

You don't have to look 20 years younger, but you don't have to retire early either.

For many, dressing is a commonplace habit. Usually, people who are tired of life follow this strategy. They dress simply "as they should." Most often, this scheme includes things from a past life, and this is definitely not rejuvenating.

Some people think that they think progressively, they try to dress fashionably, but in fact ... It turns out that they, too, are pulling the wardrobe ideals of their early youth into a new life.

1. There are also common points - something that does not refresh or invigorate anyone. I propose to disassemble all the blocks of errors and learn how to correct them. Unless, of course, you want to look your age. By the way, this is another important nuance. When we purposefully look younger - we try on a style that is not according to age and status - it ages more than wrinkles.

So, what are the usual strategies we need to avoid in order not to age ourselves ahead of time?

1. Dress in all black
40 years is an age that is often called elegant. For many, this concept is directly associated with black. The logic is understood: it symbolizes rigor, wisdom, etc. But there is also an important technical nuance here.

Black doesn't suit everyone. And if at the age of 20, we can not worry too much about deepened nasolabial folds and circles under the eyes, then at 40, we should be critical of such moments.

2. It must be remembered that it is ideal for owners of dark colors and high contrast appearance. And also do not forget that with age, the last parameter decreases.

You also need to be able to create a stylish total black. Contradictory and noble, it can become the basis of a unique image or harshly reveal all your weaknesses. It is necessary to take into account the details and use bright accents. Then the black color will add gloss, not mourning.

2. Not following trends at all or doing it mindlessly
The mature age is the time when critical thinking should already be formed. Yes, things and schemes from the past pull us along, but sharp novelties can also be dangerous. The main rule here is awareness.

3. What suits youth does not look good on a mature woman. For example, a fashionable crop top, fringe, or feathers on a 40-year-old lady will create the very unpleasant impression that she is desperately young.

Another danger is active prints. Yes, the leopard is on trend right now, but it's practically safe for 20-year-olds. More mature women of fashion, due to the presence of certain stereotypical associations, may suffer from it. Remember that "leopard" adds a few years to the woman's current age. You can use this print, but only in small elements.

4. Oversight is another controversial story. It seems to many that an increased volume of clothing can hide similar figure parameters. Alas, it is not. Yes, we tend to gain weight as we age. Yes, it does not add youth. But oversight cannot hide this fact. It looks spectacular on slender models, emphasizing their fragility.

Using trends is important. They make the image relevant. But without fanaticism. Let it be a pinch of exquisite spices that will give the dish an original taste.

3. Don't use bright accents
The habit of dressing in such a way as not to stand out from the crowd is laid down almost at the genetic level for many. Alas, this is our collective past. Many do not even realize that this habit exists. They think that's how it's supposed to be.

They are wrong. That is not accepted now. It might be different. Nobody will judge. And if he condemns, then it will not affect your life in any way.

5. This does not mean that a monochromatic image is prohibited. Monochrome is on trend, but it's not easy to create a stylish version of it. Here it is important to take into account many subtleties: the texture of the fabric, the silhouette, and the competent flow of close tones. You also need to consider the contrast of your appearance. Otherwise, in a pastel total look, you can turn into a pale mole.

So my advice for women and men in their 40s is to create momentum with bright accents. So you will look more interesting, which means younger.

4. Choose comfortable but outdated shoes
This item concerns mainly women because they usually make fashionable sacrifices. The latter is most often associated with shoes that cause discomfort. Now heels are an optional part of the program, but suffering is forever imprinted in my memory.

6. Therefore, in women after 40 years, when foot problems often begin, the choice of shoes becomes something predetermined. They are sure that fashion and comfort are incompatible things. They usually buy some kind of ridiculous cadavers, just to be more comfortable.

Modern fashion is varied. Finding a compromise is not a problem.

7. Don't use makeup at all

Youth is beautiful in itself. The absence of cosmetics or makeup in nude colors is very suitable for young girls. Adult women need to make a little more effort to look fresh.

The basic principles of anti-age makeup give a powerful rejuvenating effect. Correct accents on the lips or eyes slightly increase the contrast of appearance. The results: a youthful look and a more finished look.
