Ways to Maintain a Youthful Appearance
Clothing – Quality clothing is a must. Choose luxurious, beautifully made items from upscale department stores like Saks, Neimans, Bloomingdales and Macy’s. If money is a concern, shop the clearance racks. Fabrics like cashmere and satin look alluring and classy. Choose a more conservative style that doesn’t show too much arm or cleavage. Two-piece matching suits are out. Select separates to show off your style. Don’t wear the old clothes in your closet just because they are there…stay on top of current trends. Just make sure to keep your items simple and age-appropriate.
Hair – Keep your hairstyle consistent with the times. If you haven’t changed your style in several years, you most likely look outdated. One classy, but simple, hairstyle is the Updo. It’s good for the work day or a night out on the town. Learn how to do an updo in just two minutes!
Handbag – Your purse says a lot about you. Make sure you’re carrying something stylish and not an old lady bag. One fun idea for special occasions is renting a designer bag. What a way to show up looking young and rich without breaking the bank!
Jewelry – Simple is the key. Go with one or two nice pieces of jewelry. The last thing you want is gawdy overkill. Keep your outdated pieces in the jewelry box and pick up something new at an upscale department store, like Macy’s.
Glasses – Don’t call them ‘glasses’, eye fashion is now called ‘eyewear’. Stylish designer eyewear is in, especially in dark or bold colors. Some women even have a few different pairs for different occasions.
Skin – Anti-aging products are a must for reducing wrinkles and fine lines. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of products on the market. A good starting point is Drugstore.com.
