Fashion choices that may make you look aging

Putting your best foot forward when it comes to what you wear to work can have a huge impact on your career.

According to a survey, people who are more physically attractive are treated better at work. Looking older than you are can distract potential employers and superiors from seeing the youthful exuberance behind your work ethic.

Aditi Agarwal, Founder of Aditi Agarwal Fashion styling services said, "Fashion trends may come and go, but the clothes you wear to work shouldn't make you look older than you are." You can dress fashionably at work and avoid dating yourself by passing on the below attires:

1. Completely black attire

You can still wear black, but opt for pops of color to balance out its aging abilities. Wearing shades of red-violet can provide a youthful appearance especially for women over 40. If the trends of 2020 fashion week are any indicator, you will see successful people in the office wearing pops of red, green, and saffron yellow in order to emote confidence, growth, and enthusiasm.

2. Oversized blazers

Trendy blazers can be a fashionable way to flaunt fashion in the office, but an ill-fitting blazer can date your style and make you look older. Even though oversized power suits can be fashion-forward, if it's too baggy, it can add unwarranted years to your age.

The oversized blazer trend may not be as popular with men, but wearing a baggy blazer can leave a man looking disheveled and older than they actually are. To create a more polished look, men can opt for tailored jackets that accentuate their frame.

3. Un-tailored suits

Speaking of tailored jackets, a well-fitted suit can do wonders for any person's work attire. Regardless of how much your suit costs, to begin with, going the extra mile and having the suit tailored to fit your exact frame can shave years off of your look.

Extreme tightness or looseness shouldn't be felt since these bring down your confidence. In addition to not looking older than you are, confidence is an absolute necessity in the workplace.

4. Skirts too long

The skirt is a mainstay of business attire for women, but if your skirt is too long, it can make you look even older than you actually are. Inside Out Style reported that while a midi-length skirt can look ladylike when worn with heels, it can age older women unnecessarily. If you still want to wear a skirt, aim for a knee-length pencil style.

There are also ways to rock a miniskirt in your office over the summer if you find the right skirt and pair it with a tailored blazer or collared shirt tucked in.

5. Baggy jeans

Wearing jeans is a reality for many professionals today. If your office allows a more laid back look or even if they just have casual Fridays jeans may be your go-to pant. However, if your jeans hang off of your figure, leaving them too loose, it can make you look older than you are.
