12 Fashion Tips That'll Make You Look Younger

No need to commit 100 percent to trends just to look younger. Put your own twist on the latest fashion movements—like Angelina Jolie. Here, she took on the lingerie-inspired trend without actually showing her underwear.

Sparkly outfits aren't only reserved for teenage girls. A sequin number can work at any age and give off a youthful appearance, especially when paired with chic silhouettes like a jumpsuit.

Something as simple as choosing the right shoe can make you look younger. Stick with designs that elongate your legs for a youthful effect. Look for options with cutouts and open details—like Nicole Kidman's Chloe Gosselin heels. These designs create the illusion of extra height.

Nothing ages you like denim that's frumpy or bulges up in all of the wrong places. Remember the embarrassing mom jeans of the '90s? Well, they've received a modern update with stretchy fabric that's flattering on all figures. Find the right pair, and you'll look younger than ever.

For a youthful pick-me-up, give your black duds a break and test out bright colors. You can keep things simple with one shade or have fun with multiple hues.

We've said it once, we'll say it again. No amount of styling can save ill-fitting clothes, plus unflattering garments can age your entire look. But with the right tailor, your entire wardrobe can get an instant upgrade. The best part about tailoring: It's actually affordable. Something like hemming your pants will only cost around $10.

Stay away from matching jewelry sets and break up your look with stylish pieces that can stand on their own. Here, Jennifer Lopez demonstrates how it's done with gold hoop earrings and an Hermes bracelet.

Mini skirts aren't only for school girls. You can work shorter hemlines at any age. Take note from Celine Dion, who balanced out her minidress with long sleeves and over-the-knee boots.

Again, don't be afraid to show skin. Highlighting the right places like your shoulders is the easiest way to score a youthful look that is stunning at any age.

Shoes are probably the number-one giveaway of age. But sassy boots will always save the day. Invest in a standout pair that plays up your personality and wear them often.

Don't ever feel like you need to hide behind baggy clothing. No matter your shape, size, or age, look for pieces that flatter and cinch in the right areas—like the pink waistband on Darby Stanchfield's outfit. Still not comfortable? Throw a blazer over your shoulders for a subtle yet covered-up feel.

Yes, all-black outfits are easy. But the dark color can draw attention to imperfections in the skin. Swap out the deep hue for lighter neutrals like a flattering nude that complements your skin.
