How can I dress older? Please help..

[Danny2007]

Kinda silly question, but its been bugging me for a while now. Fact is, I dont look my age, its kinda bad for an 18 year old guy to be mistaken for just a teenager, it really annoyes me in fact. My question is what fashion and grooming tips could I use to look more my own age or simply slightly older.. any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

P.s I know some people would count this as a blessing, looking younger than you actually are, but I simply dont.

I would suggest finding a nice pair of khakis and any polo shirt always looks very nice. Brown shoes and belt are a nice addition. Make sure to tuck in your shirt!

As far as grooming goes, just make sure that you are doing it. Keep your hair trimmed and make sure this you comb/fix it in the mornings. No bed head if you want to look older.

Also, how you present yourself as far as speaking/actions (no slang, using manners) will make you seem older. Plus they are great qualities to have regardless of how old you are.

Those are just a few suggestions to get you started.

I had this problem............once.

Everything listed below is a good start. But, you are still a teenager.............for now. I know it gets old but, really enjoy it while you can. It is taken away from us far to soon.

Dressing a little sharper and keeping your pants pulled up will help in appearances somewhat but, if you still have that baby face (or braces) your still going to look young until one day all of the stresses of life..........work, wife, kids, house, layoffs, car accidents, bills, and collection agencies finally catch up and the toll is written all over your once very young, wrinkle free, and vibrant face.
