Looking young is a blessing and a curse at the same time. Without a doubt, many will say that with age you will begin to appreciate this feature, but it is not pleasant when you are trying to make a serious impression, and you are mistaken for a child. Luckily, simple changes in dress and behavior will make you look older!

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Clothing

1. 1 Give preference to the classic style. If you want to look older, then start with your wardrobe. When shopping, opt for classics like trousers or sophisticated pencil skirts and ruffled blouses.
   • Try pairing straight pants with a tailored button down blouse and flat shoes for an older look without overdoing it.
   • Avoid teenage clothing like crop tops and graphic tees.
2. 2 Choose clothing in neutral colors and jewelry shades. Neutral colors like black, white, navy and camel always look sophisticated. If you love vibrant colors, go for jewelry shades like emerald green, sapphire blue, or ruby ​​red. These rich colors have a rich and mature look.
   • Avoid caramel and neon shades, which are preferred by young people.
3. 3 Wear clothing that is the right size for your figure. Young people often prefer baggy clothes. If you want to look older, choose clothes that fit your body shape, but not too tight.
   • Clothes don't have to look provocative to show off your figure. You can pair a tight-fitting boat-neck sweater, skinny fit flare jeans, and flat ankle boots for a business-like look and not look much older than your age.
4. 4 Opt for sleek shoes over sneakers. You don't have to wear heels all the time, although they will help you appear taller. Wear appropriate, attractive flats, loafers, boots, or sandals.
   • Choose shoes with heels that are comfortable for you to move around in. An unsteady gait in too high heels will give the impression that you are dressed for a masquerade. It is best to start with a low heel or platform that provides stability while walking.
5. 5 Wear sophisticated accessories. You don't have to wear all the jewelry you have in order to look spectacular. It's better to choose simple yet thoughtful accessories that will complement your look, such as a light scarf, a colorful watch, or a cute bracelet.
   • Pearl studs add sophistication to any look.
6. 6 In cold weather, wear a fitted jacket or coat. Avoid sweatshirts in cold weather. Better to give preference to fitted outerwear such as a jacket with a belt or a coat with a narrowed waist.
   • The trench coat with a belt has a classic look and is suitable for any figure. A feminine outfit on an autumn day will be a trench coat over a dress or skirt with stockings and high boots.
7. 7 Wear a cute purse. It is not necessary to spend tens of thousands of rubles on a designer handbag, but the right handbag will make you look older. Choose a handbag made of natural or artificial leather in a neutral color like black or brown.
   • If you go to school with a backpack, then choose a simple model in a neutral color.
8. 8 Wear glasses. In case of vision problems, the right glasses will help you look older. The glasses should be in proportion to your face. The shape of the glasses should contrast with the shape of the face. For example, if you have a rounded face, then rectangular glasses will help you hide your cheeks.
9. 9 Gradually add new elements to your look. Suddenly dressing up in an unusual style can cause discomfort. In fact, such a masquerade look will make you even younger. When shopping for clothes, consider how well they fit in with other items in your wardrobe.
   • If you are shopping for a pencil skirt, you should have an eye-catching top, like a sweater, that can be paired with a skirt. Complete your look with your favorite flats or low heels.

Method 2 of 3: Personal Care

1. 1 Take care of your skin. Many teens suffer from acne and pimples that will betray your age for sure. To prevent breakouts, wash your face twice a day with a mild cleanser. Apply a light moisturizing lotion after washing to keep your skin from drying out. Also, try not to touch your face during the day.
2. 2 Change your hairstyle. Cutting to the shoulders or taller allows you to look older than with long hair. For all hair lengths, visit a hairdresser regularly to keep your hair looking neat. A more well-groomed look allows you to look older.
   • Take time to groom and style your hair in the morning. Comb your hair to prevent tangles, use a low braid, or part on two sides.
3. 3 Accentuate one detail of your face with makeup. It may seem that the more makeup on the face, the older the person looks, but in reality the opposite is true. Young girls often go too far, while adults prefer inconspicuous makeup that emphasizes only one detail of the face.
   • Use smoky makeup to highlight your eyes.
   • A bold lipstick to highlight the mouth.
   • Don't use cosmetics with a lot of glitter.
4. 4 Take care of your eyebrows. Such a small change can make a significant difference. Well-groomed eyebrows with a suitable shape will make you more feminine. Visit an eyebrow artist or learn to pluck your eyebrows yourself.
5. 5 Watch your nails. Short or long nails should always be clean and tidy. Trim the edges with a nail file.
6. 6 Use perfume sparingly. Choose a subtle, noble scent instead of a floral or sugary-sweet scent. A bottle of perfume will last for a long time, so invest in quality perfumes that you love.

Method 3 of 3: Mature Behavior

1. 1 Learn to stand and sit upright. Correct posture makes you look more confident and mature. Try to keep this in mind and keep your back straight. Raise your head and straighten your shoulders, and also pull your stomach in a little. Soon this posture and self-control will become a habit.
2. 2 Walk confidently. Practice walking with long strides and keeping your head straight. Express confidence to feel and look more mature.
3. 3 Control yourself. A sharp reaction to a situation can betray your immaturity. If the person hurt your feelings or behaved rudely, be generous and don't make a scandal to put the abuser in his place.
   • It's okay not to be offended. If a person is trying to push their way in front of you in the cafeteria, then you can say "I'm sorry, but this is the turn."
4. 4 Set goals and bring them to life. Having a goal will show people that you are thinking about the future and thinking maturely. Think about what you want to achieve, and then make a list of actions that will help you achieve your goal.
   • For example, set yourself the goal of building a successful career, changing your personality trait (learning to be polite to your sister), or showing yourself off at a dance show.
5. 5 Chat with mature people. All people spontaneously adopt the habits of their friends. Spend time with a friend who admires you for her maturity, and watch how she behaves. What actions demonstrate her maturity? What actions can you adopt to look older?
6. 6 Stay up to date with current events. A person looks more mature if he can keep up a conversation about important events in the world. Read newspapers, watch the news or read material from reliable sources on the Internet to get an idea of ​​the situation in the world.
   • If you have read a news item that seems important and interesting, but do not understand the details, then ask your parents or other adults for an explanation.
