I am 19 and about to turn 20 next month. i am wearing the same type of lame jeans and t shirts that i wore in highschool. What do i wear without looking like a teeny bopper? I am short and average. I need sophisticated and comfy style. I always wear tenis shoes.

I just went through this! I turned 20 this past year and have been slowly building up my wardrobe so I don't look 16 anymore. It all depends on you and your style but I find you'll feel a lot less younger if you wear plain, and then go with cool accessories. I always wear nice jeans, like Lucky or Bke and then pick plain, fitted t-shirts from AE or anywhere and then put cool sandals and necklaces and stuff with it. You can get away with loud accessories if you do the rest basic, and it makes you look and feel less high school. Just don't overdo it.
My personal opinion and style! You just have to go out there and do it yourself and find who you are and what works for you.
If you find a particular shirt or something that makes you feel like a little kid, just throw it away or donate it. Don't keep it around!

Getting some comfortable heels will definitely get you out of the high school look. The heels I find most comfortable have a little platform on the bottom, are round toed and have a heel to them. The platform bottom makes them so much easier to walk in and wear. Also jeans should be form fitting, and you should try wearing fitted dress pants sometimes, that definitely makes you more sophisticated. I keep accessories to a minimum but I always try to accesorize with bracelets and necklaces and earrings. Sometimes I'll skip a bracelet and go for a watch. Larger earrings that are kept simple go very elegantly with most outfits, get universal colors silver, white, black etc.

I wear heals almost everywhere. Bigger earrings and a big Coach bag will make you feel more like a lady. Change your perfume and body wash. Try a few strapless tops with your jeans this summer or a strapless or backless dress on a date.
You will have to go shopping and see what will work for you. Try on things that you would not normally try on . Go to different stores other that AE,Gap,Hollister...Try Nordstrom, The Black and White Store... oh yeah heals are not always comfy try some of those cute flat shoes with the bow on top or the flash back to the 80 open toe flats.

First of all, you want to consider what type of image you are trying to project and why. If you are trying to land a certain job, consider the "job image" and what it entails. Dress for the job that you want. You are almost 20, you still like to have fun, so you can dress for fun when you are not on the job! This goes for ANY age! When you are bumming around with your friends and shopping or clubbing, dress for it! Play the part and dress the part for work, your time off is YOUR TIME, have some fun!!! While you are at work, dress the part.
I am a hairstylist, have been for almost ten years. They say to look like you DESERVE a $20 tip, not like you NEED one!
Dress like you deserve the job, dress down or fun in your off time!

The easiest way is to start with a fashion icon, think of a celebrity or even someone you know who is around your age and whose style you really admire. Then note little details of it and play copy-cat a little bit, decide which looks you'd want to try out and go from there.

it's not about what you wear its about how you carry yourself, if you dont want to change your wardrobe dont.. if you want to wear all grown up ppl clothes go for it.
Just be comfortable in what you're wearing and forget about everyone else.... if you have the body you can wear whatever you want... LOL no one is going to care....
I'm 23... and no I'm not wearing what i used to but that's doesn't mean i dont want to... just need some work after having two kids... but by then I'll have a whole new wardrobe and it still wont have anything to do with how old i am, it has to do with what i am MOST COMFORTABLE WEARING..........
