Granted, your favorite celebs might sport a t-shirt with inspiring writing on it, but if you\u2019re pushing 40, then perhaps leave it to the younger folks. T-shirts are comfortable and easy to slip on, but if you\u2019re tying to pull of a younger look with writing like Live, Laugh, and Love, people will be doing only the second word. At you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

At a certain age, trendy denim just loses its appeal. Tight-fitting jeans look good on a certain age group, and ripped jeans are ridiculous to say the least. If you\u2019re over 40, perhaps you might want to conceal more skin and body shape. Also, stick to a more traditional color\u2014brightly colored jeans on older women look downright ridiculous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
4. Sorority Clothes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nFacebook.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nWe get it, you were in college and had a wonderful time. But perhaps it\u2019s time to put your sorority clothing in your closets, either as a souvenir of your younger days of for moths to feed on. Look for modern clothing in darker colors. It\u2019s about time you moved past your sorority days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
5. Baggy Clothing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPinterest.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nBaggy clothing was in fashion for like a decade but never on older women. We\u2019re not opposed to baggy clothing at home where you are free to wear what you like without judgment, but in view of the public, you\u2019re putting a target on your forehead. But don\u2019t go to extremes in the other direction and wear super-tight clothing that will only make skin folds more prom inent!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
6. Scruffy Sneakers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nYouTube.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nBack in your youth, perhaps tattered sneakers were all the rage. Today, not so much.

7. Costume Shoes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPinterest.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nAll women, whether they like to admit or not, have purchased something impulsively without thinking it through. In most cases, it\u2019s shoes. If you\u2019re up there in age, costume shoes are for Halloween only. Plus, how much support do those super-thin heels offer? Look for a pair of heels that adds more stability to your step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Sorry for being brutally honest, but if you have a tutu skirt hanging in your closet right now, do yourself a favor and donate it to a child in need. An A-line skirt is a lot more age-appropriate for women around 40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

DO NOT\u2014we repeat\u2014DO NOT wear a miniskirt in public unless you can like the attention from passersby. Oh, by the way, they\u2019re not gawking at you because you look good. At best, they\u2019re staring in wonderment at the courage of an older women wearing something that does not<\/em> look good on her. Sort of like how you\u2019d stare at a person wearing one of those horse masks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10. Reversible Clothing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPinterest.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nReversible clothing is great if you don\u2019t have time to do the laundry. However, as you grow older, reversible clothing becomes cheesier. Don\u2019t indulge your laziness and upgrade your wardrobe. We get the versatility of flipping your clothes inside-out and back, but c\u2019mon! Versatility is about finding what you need at the moment, not wearing an old jacket that reeks of week-old sweat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
11. Ribbed Tank Tops<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPinterest.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nDon\u2019t wear ribbed tank tops or any piece of clothing that rightly fits around your ageing body. You can be proud of having a fit body in your 40s or 50s, but a ribbed tank top is definitely out of the question. A loose-fitting scoop-neck t-shirt is just as comfortable while also showing fewer neck and chest wrinkles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
12. Festive Tights<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nInsagram.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nWhen did these ever look good? Probably decades in the past when we were still in our 20s. Older women should wear tights when sporting a knee-long skirt, but flower prints and other festive designs do nothing to improve your image. Wearing tights is about looking sophisticated and staying warm. Find a plain, dark-colored pair of tights instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
13. Low-Cut Shirts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPinterest.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nSo\u2026 yeah\u2026 this pretty much speaks for itself. Low-cut shirts can look good on a certain age group, but if you\u2019re pushing 30, it\u2019s high time that you toss the low-cut tees out and find something more age-appropriate. As we mentioned earlier, a scoop-neck tee is just fine. If you can see the cleavage, you\u2019ve gone too far down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
14. Platform Sandals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nInstagram.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nWhat is the purpose of wearing platform sandals after the age of 20? If you want to look taller, you fail; you only look ridiculous. We don\u2019t say this to hurt your feelings, but it\u2019s for your own good. Platform sandals serve no purpose other than to artificially increase your height, which is something you should have accepted decades ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
15. Overly-Stylized Hair Accessories<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nInstagram.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThings like flower scrunchies and banana clips may have looked cute in your teens and 20s, but with those glorious years behind us, it\u2019s about time you keep those silly gadgets away from your head. Worst-case scenario, you pull out a bunch of hair while dismantling these complicated trinkets. Instead, use something more subtle to you get your hair the way you like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
16. Booty Shorts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPinterest.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nAbsolutely no exceptions here. If you\u2019re over 35 and want to show the world what kind of junk you got in your trunk, it\u2019s too late. Accept it\u2014there\u2019s no going back, no matter how fit your buns are. Look for something classier and more age-appropriate like actual <\/em>jeans. The goal is to hide parts of your body that don\u2019t age well, not flaunt it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n17. Decorated Fabric Bags<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPinterest.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nYou\u2019ve probably seen older women donning decorated fabric bags while running errands. In this case, we have no problem, but if you\u2019re wearing one of these to a formal event or while out meeting friends, you\u2019re not<\/em> going to have a good time. These bags are great for carrying around documents and small groceries and nothing else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n18. Tube Tops<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPinterest.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nIn your teens, you might have been driving the guys crazy with tube tops, but at a certain age (after your teens, pretty much), tube tops become cheesy and unflattering. Plus, on older women, you\u2019re showing off more than you might want others to see. This include wrinkles, age spots, and fat folds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
19. Ill-Fitting Underwear<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPinterest.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nIf your underwear is showing, then we\u2019ve got a problem. When it comes to underwear, especially bras, make sure that you\u2019re getting the right size. As we grow older, our breasts begin to sag, and we need all the support we can get. Also, if possible (it should be), don\u2019t try and pull off a sexy look by showing off the straps or any other part of your undergarments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
20. Obnoxiously Loud Rings and Bracelets<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPinterest.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s amazing that people still go over the top in rings and bracelets. We blame modern rappers for this one. And since you\u2019re not<\/em> a Soundcloud rapper, perhaps you\u2019ll want to keep a majority of your jewelry off of your fingers and wrists.

A loose-fitting scoop-neck t-shirt is just as comfortable while also showing fewer neck and chest wrinkles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
12. Festive Tights<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nInsagram.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nWhen did these ever look good? Probably decades in the past when we were still in our 20s. Older women should wear tights when sporting a knee-long skirt, but flower prints and other festive designs do nothing to improve your image. Wearing tights is about looking sophisticated and staying warm. Find a plain, dark-colored pair of tights instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
13. Low-Cut Shirts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPinterest.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nSo\u2026 yeah\u2026 this pretty much speaks for itself. Low-cut shirts can look good on a certain age group, but if you\u2019re pushing 30, it\u2019s high time that you toss the low-cut tees out and find something more age-appropriate. As we mentioned earlier, a scoop-neck tee is just fine. If you can see the cleavage, you\u2019ve gone too far down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
14. Platform Sandals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nInstagram.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nWhat is the purpose of wearing platform sandals after the age of 20? If you want to look taller, you fail; you only look ridiculous. We don\u2019t say this to hurt your feelings, but it\u2019s for your own good. Platform sandals serve no purpose other than to artificially increase your height, which is something you should have accepted decades ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
15. Overly-Stylized Hair Accessories<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nInstagram.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThings like flower scrunchies and banana clips may have looked cute in your teens and 20s, but with those glorious years behind us, it\u2019s about time you keep those silly gadgets away from your head. Worst-case scenario, you pull out a bunch of hair while dismantling these complicated trinkets. Instead, use something more subtle to you get your hair the way you like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
16. Booty Shorts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPinterest.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nAbsolutely no exceptions here. If you\u2019re over 35 and want to show the world what kind of junk you got in your trunk, it\u2019s too late. Accept it\u2014there\u2019s no going back, no matter how fit your buns are. Look for something classier and more age-appropriate like actual <\/em>jeans. The goal is to hide parts of your body that don\u2019t age well, not flaunt it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n17. Decorated Fabric Bags<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPinterest.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nYou\u2019ve probably seen older women donning decorated fabric bags while running errands. In this case, we have no problem, but if you\u2019re wearing one of these to a formal event or while out meeting friends, you\u2019re not<\/em> going to have a good time. These bags are great for carrying around documents and small groceries and nothing else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n18. Tube Tops<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPinterest.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nIn your teens, you might have been driving the guys crazy with tube tops, but at a certain age (after your teens, pretty much), tube tops become cheesy and unflattering. Plus, on older women, you\u2019re showing off more than you might want others to see. This include wrinkles, age spots, and fat folds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
19. Ill-Fitting Underwear<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPinterest.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nIf your underwear is showing, then we\u2019ve got a problem. When it comes to underwear, especially bras, make sure that you\u2019re getting the right size. As we grow older, our breasts begin to sag, and we need all the support we can get. Also, if possible (it should be), don\u2019t try and pull off a sexy look by showing off the straps or any other part of your undergarments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
20. Obnoxiously Loud Rings and Bracelets<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPinterest.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s amazing that people still go over the top in rings and bracelets. We blame modern rappers for this one. And since you\u2019re not<\/em> a Soundcloud rapper, perhaps you\u2019ll want to keep a majority of your jewelry off of your fingers and wrists.

Back in your youth, perhaps tattered sneakers were all the rage. Today, not so much. Times have changed, and your wardrobe should have evolved, including what you put on your feet. If you want to wear sneakers, find something inexpensive and comfortable. There are plenty of sneaker brands to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
7. Costume Shoes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPinterest.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nAll women, whether they like to admit or not, have purchased something impulsively without thinking it through. In most cases, it\u2019s shoes. If you\u2019re up there in age, costume shoes are for Halloween only. Plus, how much support do those super-thin heels offer? Look for a pair of heels that adds more stability to your step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
8. Tutus<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPinterest.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nWearing tutu skirts might have been cute when you were a kid or teenager, but they don\u2019t anymore. Sorry for being brutally honest, but if you have a tutu skirt hanging in your closet right now, do yourself a favor and donate it to a child in need. An A-line skirt is a lot more age-appropriate for women around 40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

At best, they\u2019re staring in wonderment at the courage of an older women wearing something that does not<\/em> look good on her. Sort of like how you\u2019d stare at a person wearing one of those horse masks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10. Reversible Clothing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPinterest.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nReversible clothing is great if you don\u2019t have time to do the laundry. However, as you grow older, reversible clothing becomes cheesier. Don\u2019t indulge your laziness and upgrade your wardrobe. We get the versatility of flipping your clothes inside-out and back, but c\u2019mon! Versatility is about finding what you need at the moment, not wearing an old jacket that reeks of week-old sweat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Reversible Clothing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPinterest.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nReversible clothing is great if you don\u2019t have time to do the laundry. However, as you grow older, reversible clothing becomes cheesier. Don\u2019t indulge your laziness and upgrade your wardrobe. We get the versatility of flipping your clothes inside-out and back, but c\u2019mon! Versatility is about finding what you need at the moment, not wearing an old jacket that reeks of week-old sweat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
11. Ribbed Tank Tops<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPinterest.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nDon\u2019t wear ribbed tank tops or any piece of clothing that rightly fits around your ageing body. You can be proud of having a fit body in your 40s or 50s, but a ribbed tank top is definitely out of the question. A loose-fitting scoop-neck t-shirt is just as comfortable while also showing fewer neck and chest wrinkles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
12. Festive Tights<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nInsagram.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nWhen did these ever look good? Probably decades in the past when we were still in our 20s. Older women should wear tights when sporting a knee-long skirt, but flower prints and other festive designs do nothing to improve your image. Wearing tights is about looking sophisticated and staying warm. Find a plain, dark-colored pair of tights instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
13. Low-Cut Shirts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPinterest.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nSo\u2026 yeah\u2026 this pretty much speaks for itself. Low-cut shirts can look good on a certain age group, but if you\u2019re pushing 30, it\u2019s high time that you toss the low-cut tees out and find something more age-appropriate. As we mentioned earlier, a scoop-neck tee is just fine. If you can see the cleavage, you\u2019ve gone too far down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
14. Platform Sandals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nInstagram.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nWhat is the purpose of wearing platform sandals after the age of 20? If you want to look taller, you fail; you only look ridiculous. We don\u2019t say this to hurt your feelings, but it\u2019s for your own good. Platform sandals serve no purpose other than to artificially increase your height, which is something you should have accepted decades ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
15. Overly-Stylized Hair Accessories<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nInstagram.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThings like flower scrunchies and banana clips may have looked cute in your teens and 20s, but with those glorious years behind us, it\u2019s about time you keep those silly gadgets away from your head. Worst-case scenario, you pull out a bunch of hair while dismantling these complicated trinkets. Instead, use something more subtle to you get your hair the way you like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
16. Booty Shorts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPinterest.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nAbsolutely no exceptions here. If you\u2019re over 35 and want to show the world what kind of junk you got in your trunk, it\u2019s too late. Accept it\u2014there\u2019s no going back, no matter how fit your buns are. Look for something classier and more age-appropriate like actual <\/em>jeans. The goal is to hide parts of your body that don\u2019t age well, not flaunt it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n17. Decorated Fabric Bags<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPinterest.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nYou\u2019ve probably seen older women donning decorated fabric bags while running errands. In this case, we have no problem, but if you\u2019re wearing one of these to a formal event or while out meeting friends, you\u2019re not<\/em> going to have a good time. These bags are great for carrying around documents and small groceries and nothing else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n18. Tube Tops<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPinterest.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nIn your teens, you might have been driving the guys crazy with tube tops, but at a certain age (after your teens, pretty much), tube tops become cheesy and unflattering. Plus, on older women, you\u2019re showing off more than you might want others to see. This include wrinkles, age spots, and fat folds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
19. Ill-Fitting Underwear<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPinterest.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nIf your underwear is showing, then we\u2019ve got a problem. When it comes to underwear, especially bras, make sure that you\u2019re getting the right size. As we grow older, our breasts begin to sag, and we need all the support we can get. Also, if possible (it should be), don\u2019t try and pull off a sexy look by showing off the straps or any other part of your undergarments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
20. Obnoxiously Loud Rings and Bracelets<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPinterest.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s amazing that people still go over the top in rings and bracelets. We blame modern rappers for this one. And since you\u2019re not<\/em> a Soundcloud rapper, perhaps you\u2019ll want to keep a majority of your jewelry off of your fingers and wrists. One or two items at once is fine.

The same goes for miniskirts! DO NOT\u2014we repeat\u2014DO NOT wear a miniskirt in public unless you can like the attention from passersby.
