Dressing to look ten years younger is as much about what you shouldn't wear as it is about the clothing style that it is best to adopt. If you feel that you could do with losing a few years appearance wise then the chances are that your wardrobes contents need an over-haul. In this article we are going to be taking a look at what to avoid and what you can successfully wear in its place that will knock years off of you.

Saggy and Baggy.

Saggy and baggy are not the friends of anyone over the age of twenty. In fact clothing which has excess material that flops around your body or which hides your natural form completely can add both excess weight and years to you along with the material.

Some of the worse offenders in this section are over-size jumpers, sweat pants and pinafore dresses which give a tent like structure to the wearers form, or that of a blamange. Many people wear these clothes imagining that they hide what they regard as a less than perfect figure, when the truth is that what lays underneath the clothes is pretty much always superior in appearance to the big illusion that is created by the clothes themselves.

If you want to shed those years then shed any saggy and baggy clothes that you own and you will already have made a huge improvement.

Instead of over-size clothes stick to wearing clothing which actually fits you. Figure hugging clothes can also be aging so stay clear of these. Aim for wearing clothing that loosely skims your figure and which allows your real shape to be recognised. Only choose clothes that are your size, and if necessary have someone else measure you so that you are sure what your size actually is.

Smart jeans in a dark color are an instant youth tonic. By choosing the style of jeans that suits your figure you will have an air of energy, as opposed to the aging doldrums. As a basic rule jeans should be long enough so that they cover the tops of your shoes, any shorter and the youthful effect of the jeans will be lost. They should also not be too low at the waistband on a person who is above middle age.

Skinny and Mini.

Skinny and mini may have been friends of yours in the sixties but now they belong to thin, younger folks who didn't witness them the first time around. Clothing which is figure hugging doesn't suit an ample sized body nicely. Nor does it look great on a wonderful body that has a more mature face to go with it. The effect is liable to bring with it the well known phrase, 'mutton dressed as lamb.'

It is far less aging
