how can I make myself look older?

<p>I’m going off to college next year, and I look no older than a high school freshman. The main thing is that I’m really skinny and short and have a very small structure. Even when I gain weight I look skinny. I work out and play sports, but my metabolism is fast as heck. </p>

<p>Any ideas on how I can make myself look older? What hairstyles/haircuts typically create that effect? How about clothing?</p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>

<p>Wear a tophat, a fake French mustache, a monacle, a tuxedo, dress shoes, a black cape, a cane, gloves [preferably white], and a fake English accent and you’ll be good to go.</p>

<p>Well, you could smoke or tan, but that’s long-term…</p>

<p>Short-term: Get a short haircut (bob length or a little longer) but sort of razored cut-this looks good on most people-people look a lot older.
Don’t wear bright colors-wear earthy tones and black. Wear big sunglasses.</p>

<p>aw, don’t make fun!
I’m really short and slender and people always mistake me for younger. Just think about how you’ll love it when you’re in your 30s! lol.
I’m guessing you’re a girl right? </p>

<p>well I got a new haircut a while back and people have since said it makes me look older. In general, shorter hair looks more sophisticated than longer hair. I have about shoulder-length, straight really dark brown hair. I got kind of long side-swept bangs…I can give you the pic I gave to the hairstylist. they start about eye-length. I also have angled layers that frame my face. You could see it in the pic. </p>

<p>Also, don’t dress in abercrombie-graphic-tee+jeans+sneakers. This isn’t a problem with me since it’s just not my style, but wearing that kind of stuff makes you look a lot younger. For jeans, try trouser cut (these are going to get popular soon…they’re on the runway), skinny, or straight-leg, stay away from flared. Also, aim for dark wash jeans. Don’t just wear jeans all the time though. Johnson-styled shorts look really nice…they’re like woolish thick material and will look better than cotton shorts on you. For skirts, try to get A-line skirts that hit you just above the knee. This will give you some volume and is actually the most flattering type of skirt for any figure. ummm. you could do anything with tops–tees, sweaters, polos, button-ups, etc. Of course, once in whileyou just need to get in some comfy jeans and an old tee, but other, more polished clothing will make you look older. Casual dresses are also nice. You can make them look less dressy by pairing them with colored tights and flats.
For coats get a winter peacoat and a light trench for spring/fall.<br>
For shoes you could wear flats as an alternative to sneakers. They’re comfy and polished looking. Of course, heels are the best for our shortness, but you definitely don’t want to walk around campus in heels on a daily basis. Invest in some quality heels that are COMFORTABLE. </p>

<p>I’m very experienced in this department. lol.</p>

Those shorts with a white tee, some jewlery, and red flats, would be a great outfit. For colder weather, just wear some black tights underneath the shorts and a bright cardigan over the tee. </p>

a blazer like this over a tank with some jeans would make you look a lot older than just a tank by itself. </p>

That dress would look adorable for the fall. </p>

<p>dont do cardio just workout, eat 300g of protein n eat all you want</p>

<p>anthropologie.com</p>

<p>for inspiration; it’s expensive.</p>

<p>stay away from sneakers, etc… maybe Jack Rogers sandals? polo shirts are your friend (stripes will make you look wider as well). knee-high boots (don’t have to have a heel), pref. leather.</p>

and even if you still look young, you will at least look hawt as someee

<p>try not to care how you look.</p>

<p>i wish i could gain weight and look skinny</p>

<p>Wear a monocle?</p>

<p>wear a mustache.</p>

<p>

Lol, why exactly do you want to look older?</p>

<p>Why would you possibly want to look older when more than half of the female population want to stay young? Who cares about what others think of you, I would die to have such a metabolism rather than workout in the gym every day.
I’m not sure whether you’re a girl or a boy.
Anyways, if you want to look old and you’re a girl wear makeup. Make your hair wavy to give it a nice body, and a sophisticate older girls look. Usually, for some reasons don’t give your hair any highlights or whatnot, a darker shade usually symbolize a full grown woman. Try to wear clothes that belong in the age group you prefer.
If you’re a boy wish that you’ll catch up to the rest of the dudes out there. Some people are late bloomers, and you might be one of them. Don’t grow out your hair ( I’m talking that Grudge looking hair or a Metro) cut it a clean cut short. I would give an advice on clothes, but I’m not sure how to describe it.</p>

<p>I’m said to look like a junior or a senior in high school, but i’m a freshman in high school. I’m not sure how…</p>
