How can I look older?I am 26 years old and in a managerial position in a company. The problem is that I find it difficult to be taken seriously because I look very young for my age. Most people guess that I am still in my teens. This didn't bother me while I was at university, but now it affects me a lot more.
I am able to wear what I like at work, and normally put on some dark trousers and a knitted top. I don't like wearing much makeup - just a bit of eyeliner if I have time. I wear my hair down.
What's a quick way to look older without rethinking my entire look/wardrobe? -

Re: How can I look older?You're really pretty!
To be honest I thought you looked at least 21 in one or two your pictures, but I guess if that's not the impression in real life, maybe wear your hair in a more business-like/professional style? Like pull it up instead of leaving it down? Other than that I'm not really sure, short of wearing more makeup

Re: How can I look older?damm now i'm intrigued as to what you look like(Original post by Adhsur)

But you shouldn't worry so much, as long as you are dressing appropriately for you position I cant see the problem. You can't do anything about how old you look. -

Re: How can I look older?If you want to be taken seriously in business - suit smart, white shirts , dark colours and also depend's how you behave etc - wear glasses.
Unfortunately I am unable to see your pictures to give you constructive feedback but don't worry. -

Re: How can I look older?Wearing more grown up clothes (longer skirts), usually pulling your hair back as well gives you a more serious look. Try more simple jewelry (if its bright and shiny- big no no).
Hope this helps. -

Re: How can I look older?You say you're 26 and you want to look older(Original post by Adhsur)

You know how many girls would ENVY you to have your looks.
At age 26, most girls, don't look their age. Though this is partly due to them having kids at early age I guess.
Enjoy your young looks! By the time your 40/50, you'd wish be younger looking. -

At least you're not mistaken for 13 years old like I am. I'm 19 now and it's so annoying.
Imagine this, say when your 40 years old and you look and feel like 21.
How does that sound?
