Outdated Styles Women Still Wear

Maybe there’s a blazer that is constantly in your wardrobe rotation, but it’s been that way for two decades.

Perhaps it’s the opposite – and the newest fads are the things to wear … no matter what. However, there are some fashion booboos that will actually add years and should be avoided especially if you’re over 40,

Jersey Fabric

Wearing jersey fabric—the kind of draping fabric made out of wool, cotton, and synthetic fabrics—has the ability to accentuate every curve and inch of your body that you may not want to enhance.

Overdoing Powder

Believe it or not, applying too much powder makeup is the best way to dry out your skin and bring your wrinkles and blemishes up to the surface. This way, liquid or cream makeup may be a safer option.

Excess Pastels

Going head to toe in pastels is definitely a no-go.

Our skin color becomes lighter as we age, so it will appear bleached against such pale hues. The good news is that you don’t need to throw away all of them, as pairing one piece with a darker one is a perfect match.

Outdated Eyewear

With age comes the burden of weakened eyesight, but it doesn’t also have to come with ugly drugstore readers.

If you’re truly looking to purchase readers, steer clear of skinny, cheap frames, and opt for bigger, more bold frames to highlight your face.
