Age-appropriate clothing for a 23/f?

Question

Hi there. I'm going to be re-doing my warddrobe in the next week, and I was wondering what age-appropriate cothing would be for a 23/f. I look young, about the age of 19, and my goal is to start dressing older -- but not so that i look like i am forcing it.

Any ideas on what would look good for every-day wear and where to shop?

Thanks :D

(PS: I am a size 6 in pants, 36C boobs, and about 5'2" if that helps give you an image)

Answer 1

these days even Mom's are dressing like thier daughters haha.. so u don't have to worry too much. i think if u do want to look "older" and more sophisticated, just look at some fashions and clothing Pieces that won't go out of style easily.

so, get a nice Jacket.. right now the trend seems to be going velvet, which i like. try getitng one in black, navy, or dark green so u know it won't go out of style. (i'm in love w/ getting a dark reddish/purple but i'm scared!) haha....

get a nice Belt.. right now the trend is wide, but u can get a medium sized belt w/ a nice buckle (i have really cute brown braided belt w/ a large gold circle w/ engravings that hooks and looks like a buckle).

well fitting jeans... usually one for heels, and one for flats. try dark rinses so u can wear them anywhere, even if slightly formal events.

nice blouses/shirts to wear under the jacket. i think the trend now is a nice, white, lacy/ish puffed sleeve type blouse. :)


anyways anything w/ a dark, rich color will look more sophisticated. also blacks are essential, like black pants, or pencil skirt (that's also something i want to get!!!). pumps are in, so are open toed heels, and some w/ straps at the ankle. i would say the boots w/ skinny jeans are more of a "young" look, but definitely "in" right now. good luck! :)

I don't know if you still do, but shopping in the Junior's section of department stores is out! It was hard for me to let go of it at first but it was definitely time lol No more of those stores that cater to teens either like Charlotte Russe and Forever 21.

You should shop at stores like Express, Banana Republic, Gap, The Limited, H&M. You can still be trendy, just make sure your clothes are a little more tailored, a little more grown up. Subtle sexy. My favorite look right now is to dress up a pair of nice jeans with a cute, sexy little top and a cute jacket with a pair of flats or kitten heels.

Answer 3

Banana Republic, Express, GAP, Abercrombie & Fitch, Victoria's Secret, Calvin Klein, Bebe, J-Crew and Guess

Answer 4

I've always liked H&M. They have a great selection of clothes at really reasonable prices. I like the fact that have attire to meet the lifestyles of person in their 20's - clothes for work, school, play, etc, completely age appropriate and fashionable, sophicated chic.

Answer 5

until eventually she is amazingly actual scared, they might want to be effective. I loved them at that age. If she waits a lot longer to envision them, she will be able to no longer be that inspired. they don't seem that scary for an eleven-12 12 months previous.
