As you get older, it may be tempting to stick to the outfits you know and avoid newer trends. Unfortunately, this decision will probably end up making you look even older.
Although you should never wear something that makes you uncomfortable, trying out modern trends can be a great way to keep your wardrobe young while still maintaining your own fashion sense. One of the easiest ways to do this? Invest in a new pair of jeans.
Denim is appropriate for any age, and the right pair of jeans can help you look younger as well.
Update Your Denim
Jean trends are always changing, but they never stop being a go-to look for pretty much any casual event.
The latest denim trends are all about flattering your figure--which is another great way to look young. Flare jeans and (a much chicer version of) mom jeans are both popular now, and adding them to your wardrobe can be an easy method to looking on trend. Plus, these styles can make your legs look longer and your waist look slimmer.
The most important part of finding the right pair of jeans is making sure that they fit you right. Nothing ages you more than a baggy pair of pants that accentuates all the wrong things.
With that in mind, finding the perfect pair for you will most likely require some trial and error.
Diane Gilman, HSN’s top-selling fashion designer and author of Good Jeans: 10 Simple Truths About Feeling Great, Staying Sexy & Aging Agelessly, thinks that the right pair of jeans can make you look way younger than your years.
She explained to HuffPost, "In a great pair of jeans, you can’t be age-stereotyped. It’s fascinating to see how people react differently to you."
She also recommends finding a stretchy pair that will flatter your form: "Let’s all take advantage of that modern miracle — spandex. Find jeans that really stretch."
With that in mind, if you are hoping for a more youthful wardrobe, finding a new pair of jeans that you love is key.
