Some women continually keep up with the ever-changing trends in fashion. There comes a time, however, where certain fads only make a woman look older. For example, some of the really hot trends right now include way oversized handbags and bags with tapestry-type patterns. On a young teenager, twenty or thirty something, these women's handbags look young, hip, and fabulous. Some women's dress shoes and handbags that are often affectionately named "granny shoes and bags" can be worn well on a teen or young adult.
If you worry about making this mistake, there is a simple saying about trends, "if you wore it the first time around, don't wear it the second." For example, the flair-leg jeans were one of the trademarks of the 60's and 70's. A few years ago the flair-leg jeans made a huge comeback for young teens and changed the shape of the popular slacks. They did, however, look completely out of place on the middle-aged population and ultimately made them look like they were trying way to hard to be back in the younger generation.
While young, you are allowed to experiment with fashion, try the latest trends, and play with your image. This is a part of the road to self-discovery. However, by your thirties, you should have found a certain style that fits your body type and fits your personality while staying away from over the top. This is not saying that older generations cannot look great, there are many ways to stay chic and fashion forward. Instead of choosing the bright red and platinum handbag, choose the same design in a chocolate color. This way, you get the fun of the handbag style without looking over the top.
When you dress well, conscious of the accessories you pick, you can take years away from your appearance and just feel great! There are still many fashionable handbags and shoes that look great but are still fun. Dressing for your age does not mean playing it safe. Just remember the golden rule, "if you wore it the first time around, don't wear it the second."
