50+ Fashion Mistakes That Make You Look Older

Published on 01/30/2022

When we were younger, being mistaken for someone a few years older than we were was considered a compliment. Now? That is the most insulting thing anyone has ever heard! Who knew that wearing the wrong clothes might make you appear years older than you actually are? Choosing the perfect costume might help you appear younger while choosing the wrong one can have the opposite effect. The art of dressing well can be tricky; something that was fashionable even a year ago maybe a complete no-no today. The rules of fashion are continuously changing, and we’re here to help you stay on top of the latest trends—these are the fashion blunders you should avoid at all costs.

Poofy Hairdo

During the 1970s and 1980s, huge hair was the fashion statement. Only teasing or back-combing your hair could be used to style your locks at the time. We now understand how destructive this style is to your hair, as well as how out of date it appears to be. Our beautiful, silky hair is here to stay, and we couldn’t be happier!

Matching Outfits

Color coordinating is out of style, and mixing patterns and prints is very popular right now. Wearing identical attire all the time is not only dull, but it can also make you look older. Instead of seeming overly put-together, mix leopard with plaid and stripes with circles to avoid looking too polished.

High-Waters

Please continue if you’re wearing high-water pants to show off your great socks. Otherwise, please stop. If this isn’t the case, we’re here to tell you that this particular kind of pants is not a good choice. When purchasing jeans, it is critical to sit down and ensure that your ankles are protected; no one likes having cold ankles!

Tweezing

In the past, thin eyebrows were the preferred method to wear your brows, and they are still trendy now. Thick, natural brows are currently in style. Allow your caterpillars to grow and forget about those stray hairs; the bushier the caterpillars, the better.

Over-Plucking/Tweezing

No Skincare Routine

Starting to use night and eye cream in your twenties is an excellent idea if you’re in your twenties. Although you may not be old at this point, using an anti-aging cream (such as Olay’s product) will help to slow down the aging of your skin. Maintain your youthful appearance by including this in your morning and evening routines.

Long Sleeves Only

Even if arm flab is a thing as you get older, no one is really paying attention to your arms anyhow. They will, though, if you are wearing a cover-up during the hot summer months. Take control of your arm flab and get out the short-sleeved clothing!

Lipstick And Dress

If you’re wearing a black sweater, you can accessorize with pink lipstick to bring out the color in the sweater. However, you should refrain from purchasing a pomegranate-colored lipstick to match your pomegranate-colored top. No true match will ever be found, and the disparity between the two will appear jarring.

“Old Lady” Handbags

Large purses frequently referred to as “old lady” handbags, are out of style. Small, beautiful bags have replaced the bulky, leather totes that were once popular. After all, how much stuff do you really need to carry around in your handbag?

Underwear Lines

The appropriate clothes only look beautiful with the right undergarments. Your bra showing through your shirt or your underpants being too tight will ruin your whole look. Buy seamless everything to avoid embarrassing situations like Faye Dunaway’s after a night on the red carpet (below).

Jersey Fabric

Unfortunately, despite the fact that jersey material is soft and comfy, the fabric draws attention to the wrong places on the body. If you’re trying to conceal a section of your body, silk, wool, and cotton are better choices than a jersey, which adheres to the skin. Purchase looser pieces or jersey sheets if you absolutely adore the fabric and can’t live without it.

Screenshot 14

Tan Stockings/Pantyhose

Tights in the colors black and nude are okay, but tan tights are out of the question. In recent years, the “four shades darker than your skin tone” style has been less popular. Invest in stockings that match your skin tone, or don’t wear them at all!

Using Too Much Powder

Powder makeup is the most effective technique to dry up your skin and make your makeup cling to every pore on your face. Using powder makeup will bring all of your defects to the surface, even if you just have a couple. If you want to prevent this fashion faux pas, liquid cosmetics and creams are a better option.

Keeping Your Figure Hidden

As we grow older, we tend to dress in looser clothing. Instead of wearing clothes that are too baggy, wear garments that are form-fitting and enhance your curves. Those waste bags that you use for clothing only serve to make you appear older.

Maintaining The Same Hairstyle

Maintaining the same hairstyle for the rest of your life is quite monotonous. Change the length of your hair, the color of your hair, or both! So, if you want to freshen up your appearance, visit your local hairstylist for a new look.

Minis

As you get older, it’s wise to avoid anything that is considered “tiny.” The optimal hem length for older women is no more than a few inches above the knee. We propose that you follow this guideline no matter how beautiful your legs are.

Pieces With A Story

Despite the fact that the outfit holds sentimental value, there is no requirement that you should wear it. If it’s too big and baggy, get it hemmed or use the cloth to make a scarf or something similar to wear with it. Avoid walking around in that ugly, unattractive outfit simply because you wore it to your daughter’s first birthday celebration.

Trendy Sunglasses

If a pair of sunglasses are fashionable, that does not necessarily imply that they are beneficial to your health. The dark, square-framed spectacles that everyone is sporting these days really draw attention to the eye bags and wrinkles that we all despise. Make the decision to get a pair of glasses that is lighter in both weight and lens shade.

Dark Lipstick

Dark lipsticks draw attention to every line. lighter tones are an excellent method to pull attention away from problematic gaps and cracks while still enhancing your pout. If you really must have a dark red, exfoliate your skin prior to even out the surface.

Bad Color Choices

Different colors seem better on different skin tones than they do on each other. If your skin has cool undertones, such as blues and greys, you should wear cooler colors, whereas individuals with warm undertones should wear warmer hues, such as reds and yellows, to complement their complexion. Find out what works best for your skin tone, or you’ll risk looking washed out and unappealing.

Keeping Your Neck Covered

Many people believe that wearing a turtleneck will conceal wrinkles, but this is not true. Instead of feeling restricted and hot, a scoop or v-neck will help you to forget about your wrinkles altogether. A collared shirt is a way to go if you want to maintain a more conservative appearance.

Everything Black

As we all know, the color black has a slimming effect. However, take in mind that the color might also make your complexion appear dull. With age, our skin becomes lighter, therefore the older you become, the more washed out you’re going to appear. Alternatively, if you’re wearing a black jacket, put a red shirt underneath.

Tweed

Tweed has the natural ability to make even the most youthful-appearing folks appear ten years older. Tweed is fantastic for children and elderly people over the age of 90, but that’s about it. In the event that you wish to experiment with menswear, use houndstooth or pinstripes instead.

Resisting Denim

Denim is one of the few materials that have the ability to make individuals appear younger. In order to conceal your issue spots, we recommend going with a dark wash of clothing. A darker color is also more dressy, especially when you pair your pair (LOL) with shoes or a blazer, as shown in the photo above.

Chunky Jewelry

Costume jewelry exudes an air of “I’m old.” If you want to appear younger, avoid wearing massive bubble necklaces, which were popular a decade ago. Delicate elements like little studs and bar necklaces are becoming increasingly popular.

Stretchy Jeans

Although stretchy jeans are extremely comfortable, they have the unfortunate side effect of making those who do not have supermodel bodies appear lumpy. For women who want to preserve their shape while also flattening their silhouette, pants with 2 percent elastic fiber are recommended.

Nothing Tight

Tight clothing can take years off a person’s appearance, whilst baggy clothing has the exact opposite effect on their appearance. Older people frequently believe that form-fitting clothing is not appropriate for them, but the truth is that clothing that fits true to size adds dimension and structure to your body.

Chunky Sneakers

Despite the fact that chunky heeled shoes, boots, and sneakers are currently everywhere, the truth is that they actually make you appear heavier and older! Shoes with a slimmer fit, such as ankle-strap flats or kitten heels, are the way to go. Keep a safe distance from those Fila disruptors!

Too Trendy

While we are all for fashionable attire, there is such a thing as being overly fashionable. A trend should be abandoned when it has reached the end of its lifespan. Wearing something from last year will not make you appear new and fashionable; on the contrary, it will make you appear old and stale. Classic trends such as plaid and leather are better to stick with because they are more likely to last for a long time than other styles.

Jacket Around The Waist

20 years ago, tying your jacket around your waist was considered fashionable; today, it is not. When you don’t want to carry your coat or flannel around with you, this trend may be convenient, but it can also make your hips and waist appear wider than they actually are. Rather than wearing your jacket over your shoulders, drape it over your shoulders.

Tanning

Tanning outside can be quite harmful to your skin. However, even though you’ll have a healthy glow, for the time being, it won’t seem that way 25 years down the road. Tanning can cause wrinkles and sun spots, which are something you’ll want to avoid as you get older. Using tanning chemicals, rather than sun exposure, can help you attain that summery glow without hurting your skin. Later on, your skin will thank you for it.

Flowery Prints

The addition of florals to an outfit is a great touch every now and again, but only as a statement piece or as a boot. Floral stuff has a tendency to make a person look older. Consider wearing a floral dress, but make certain it is fitted to your body type. The two ladies in the photo below look fantastic in their florals!

Split Ends

Even if a person is 30 years old, having long hair might make them appear older. Hair trims on a regular basis are vital if you want to maintain a youthful appearance. Not only will you have a larger style, but you’ll also be able to say goodbye to split ends and dead ends as well. This is important since our hair becomes thinner as we grow older.

Screenshot 36

Too Much Blush

One beauty component, blush, requires a flawless application to provide the best results. If you apply blush in the wrong place or use too much, it will make you look older. In contrast to a red lip, blush is intended to be subtle rather than “in your face.” To remove excess product, dab it with a tissue or a beauty blender and blend it out until you reach the desired color.

Only Wearing Flats

Although heels are not the most comfortable option, nothing says granny quite like a pair of flats. Wearing a small heel can make you appear younger, and trust us when we say that new models are available that mix comfort and style. Boots and booties with short, thick heels and kitten heels have returned to fashion, and we couldn’t be happier.

Logos For All To See

“I’m trying much too hard,” says the logo on the shirt. It didn’t look good when I was 18, and it doesn’t look good now that I’m 50. Your appearance will attract attention and help you stand out from the crowd. You should wear a designer brand because you appreciate the look, not because the designer’s name is written across the breast.

Long Skirts

As we become older, our hemlines tend to get longer, but this can be done in an elegant manner. On the other side, this look has the potential to backfire and make you appear shabby. Tall people and those who wear high heels and boots are less likely to have this condition. However, those who are shorter may experience it. Proper proportions are the ultimate goal!

Slouchy And Slouchy

In terms of bottoms and tops, we believe that if your bottoms are tight, your top should be loose, and vice versa for bottoms that are loose and the top that is tight. This is a general rule of thumb that should be followed to avoid looking frumpy or sloppy.

Not Showing Your Waist

Unfortunately, baggy clothing does not conceal all bulges and, in many cases, makes us appear even larger as if we were a giant garbage bag. By using a belt with your attire, you can give it more form. You want to accentuate your waistline in order to show off your shape.

Heavy Black Eye Makeup

If you want to make your eyes stand out, avoid slapping on a thick layer of black eyeliner. Nothing but drawing attention to your wrinkles will result as a result of this. Instead, choose a lighter-colored liner that you can apply softly. Colors such as olive green, gray, and brown are excellent choices, to begin with.

Clothes That Aren’t Tailored

Unaltered clothes, no matter what the style, never look good on a person. Despite the fact that adjustments can be pricey, it shouldn’t cost more than $35 to have your shirt darted or your jacket tailored. For more exact numbers, check with your local dry-cleaning establishment.

Drugstore Reading Glasses

As we all know, age results in impaired vision; nevertheless, this does not imply that you must turn to the unsightly readers sold in drugstores to compensate. Instead of a cheap, slender frame to draw attention to your face, opt for a larger, more prominent frame.

Bras That Don’t Fit

It is critical that you wear bras that are comfortable. With the proper bra size, you can completely transform and perfect your figure. We live in a period when bra brands place a high value on comfort, support, and style…enjoy it! There is nothing that makes a woman appear older than drooping breasts.

Chunky Heels

Unless you’re attending a formal event, chunky heels are only acceptable for black-tie occasions; otherwise, they seem outmoded. Alternatively, if you prefer to wear heels, we propose a point heel, since this will make you appear lighter in weight.

Silk Scarves

If you’ve begun to see lines and wrinkles on your neck, wearing a silk neck scarf will only serve to draw attention to these imperfections. They also make you appear heavier in the upper half of your body, which is something neither women nor men prefer.

Pearls

Pearls instantly give the appearance of years to a person. We don’t care how many charity balls you attend this week; pearls should be avoided. Silver accessories are frequently less expensive than gold accessories, and they are also more timeless.

Boot-Cut Jeans

Boot-cut jeans only serve to make a person’s frame appear squat and short, which is the opposite of what most individuals want to achieve. Slim-fitting denim is a much better option because it will slim your form and detract attention away from your lower half.

Jean Sets

Jean sets may have been fashionable in the past, but they are no longer in fashion today. The matching black-wash denim jacket and pants will only serve to make you look older. Make a choice between the two, but please don’t choose both!

A Huge Wallet

Nothing says “I’m ancient” quite like a large wallet on one’s person. The necessity to have 20 credit cards, a pen, and photos of your grandchildren all in one place is no longer necessary. The only things that should be kept in your wallet are the cards that are absolutely necessary and a few dollars for emergencies.

This appearance just adds years to a person’s age. Instead of wearing the same metal tone again and over, mix and match metal tones.

Jeans & Running Sneakers

This look has never been fashionable, and it will never be fashionable again. When it comes to wearing tight jeans with running sneakers, the rule is simple: never, ever, ever. Moms and dads frequently dress in this manner, but we strongly advise against it.

High Socks & Shorts

Shorts with high socks are not recommended if you are wearing shorts. Stay with sock lengths that are just a few inches above the top of your sneakers. This outfit screams, “I have no sense of style” (and no short socks). Keep up with the times by not dressing like this!

Short haircuts simply serve to make women look older. Longer hairstyles, rather than pixie cuts and bobs, will draw attention away from your face. If you are longing to have short hair, all we ask is that you don’t get a bad haircut like Kate Gosselin did, because she looked dreadful.

Glitter Overload

Let’s face it: glitter is only appropriate for teenagers! For mature eyes, it is preferable to stay away from eyeshadows that are heavily embellished with glitter. When you use sparkles, they will just bring attention to wrinkles and fine lines, which is the opposite of what you want!

Locket Necklaces

Although a locket necklace may be the ideal gift for your 8-year-old daughter, it is not a fashionable accessory for a woman in her 50s. Save a photo of your hubby on your phone or frame it and place it on your desk at work…but don’t wear it around your neck!

Belly Chains

We all remember the craze for belly chains that swept the nation a few years ago. However, that era has long passed, and wearing one will only serve to make you look significantly older. Consequently, if you find yourself inclined to resurrect this trend, resist the urge. That’s all we have to say about the subject at this time. Not to mention that belly button rings aren’t any better in terms of comfort or safety. They have a tendency to appear a little cheesy most of the time. Whatever you decide to do, avoid the belly chains at all costs.

Crocheted Blanket

We have no idea who celebrity started this dreadful fad of hand-knit too huge sweaters that are more akin to blankets in their appearance. Back in the day, it was perfectly acceptable – and even fashionable – to walk around with a tea cozy draped over your shoulders. Nowadays, on the other hand, it is unquestionably not a fashionable or fashionable item of clothing to wear. As a result, it should go without saying that wearing such a garment will only make you appear older.

Pleather Chaps

We can all agree that the year 2020 has been a complete and utter disaster. The only thing that could make things worse is if the pleather chaps make a comeback in some form or another. The moment we realize that we have reached the end of the line. This is a fashion trend that needs to be phased out and never to be seen again. Who, exactly, was responsible for bringing this tendency to the public’s attention? What were they thinking at the time they made this decision? Was it some sort of inside joke that we weren’t aware of?

Cropped Pinstripe Pants

Another fashion trend that we don’t understand is the cropped pinstriped pants style that was popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s for a short period of time. Wearing this style of apparel will almost certainly cause you to look at least ten years older. As previously said, we have no idea how this tendency was ever permitted to flourish in the first instance. No matter how you spin it, the truth is that it did. And it was a hit with us at the time. After the spell has been broken, we may begin to grasp the truth that this is no longer a prevalent phenomenon.

Embellished Jeans

Just for a moment, let’s all swear to one another that we will never, ever allow embroidered denim to become a major fashion trend again. Apart from the fact that it appears cheap, it is an appearance that instantly ages a person. Even someone as famous as Beyonce is unable to pull off the look, which just goes to illustrate how awful the fad was in the first place to begin with. Beyonce has the ability to pull off any look! It turns out that even the most talented of us are unable to make embroidered pants seem good.

Useless Belts

If we had one chance to time travel, we would take advantage of the opportunity to go back in time and ask J. Lo how much weight her belt was supposed to be able to support. Of course, the fashion was as hot as it could possibly be at the moment, but while you’re wearing it, everyone will be staring. Naturally, if someone today wears something similar to what you’re wearing, people will start to question their fashion sense. Not to add that wearing a meaningless belt will make a person appear significantly older. It just does not exist any longer.

Cropped, Wide-leg Capris

Capris are a wardrobe staple for many of us. They’re practical, yet they’re also adorable. When it comes to broad capris, on the other hand, it’s strictly prohibited. Despite the fact that wide-leg full-length trousers are appealing, wide-leg capri pants can shorten your leg line, making you appear shorter and stumpy. In a nutshell (pun intended), stay away from capri pants that are overly large. When it comes to fashion, capris are a fantastic option. Jeans with wide-legs? Great! Simply avoid combining those two elements, and you’ll be in good shape.

Tightly Pulled-Back Hair

The appearance of ladies who tie their hair up in a tight bun or ponytail is generally considered to be older. Something about a tight bun makes us think of the word “headmistress” every time we see one on a woman in uniform. Try not to wear your hair entirely pulled back in order to prevent making this type of mistake. Instead, let certain face-framing pieces fall around your face as they naturally would. It will soften your overall appearance and make you appear younger.

There is a narrow line between wearing a sufficient quantity of accessories and going overboard with the embellishments. Our collective,  However, not everyone is capable of pulling off such a feat.

Cheap Outerwear

If you don’t want to spend a lot of money on clothing in general, the one thing you should invest in is outerwear. It will keep you warm and protected from the elements. Finding a new coat for $40 may seem like a terrific deal to you, but others will see right through it. If at all possible, invest in a high-quality coat that is both comfortable and fashionable that you can wear on a daily basis. This way, you won’t have to be concerned about it going apart after only one season’s worth of use. Not to mention that you’ll look really stunning.

Ugly Holiday Patterns

Despite the fact that sweaters are a winter fashion must-have, choose attractive neutral colors when shopping for new sweaters. Consider the colors black, white, gray, and blue as examples. Always avoid the corny Christmas patterns that contain snowflakes, reindeer, and other such symbols of celebration. Wearing these will just make you look older and odd when you are out and about. For those of you who enjoy patterns, stick to tried-and-true options like stripes or plaid. Those will be classics for a long time.

Frameless Glasses

Frameless glasses are popular among many individuals, and they aren’t the worst thing that may happen to you. Nonetheless, they might be a source of concern for adults over the age of 50 in certain situations. As we grow older, our coloring begins to fade, thus wearing these types of glasses will cause us to blend into our surroundings, resulting in an odd effect that no one likes. Due to the fact that our hair and skin lose pigmentation throughout time, we appear slightly duller as a result of this. When purchasing glasses, choose ones that have a bigger frame or are a bright color rather than frameless spectacles. This will bring more luminosity to your face, making you appear younger.

Pastel Overload

The older people get, the less it is appropriate for them to dress in pastels. The explanation for this is fairly simple: they thoroughly wash you out of your skin. As previously said, our hair and complexion naturally become dull as we grow older, and wearing pale hues will further accentuate this impression. However, this does not rule out the possibility of wearing pastels in the future. All that is required is that you select them with care. Experiment with different hues and tints to see how they look against your complexion and hair, and then build on your findings.

Too Much At Once

If you prefer to dress in a more conservative manner, it is entirely your choice. However, if you feel as though you are looking older than you actually are, the explanation for this could be that you are wearing too many conservative components in one ensemble. Wearing tweed with pearls, for example, will immediately make the person wearing them appear older. To add a younger touch, try isolating those items and matching them with outfits that are more whimsical in their design. In the event that you nevertheless want to wear them together, make sure to incorporate a contemporary touch to maintain oneself appearing young and new.

Consider this: whenever you’re watching a rom-com and there’s a lady over the age of 50, she’s almost always decorated with obnoxiously huge jewelry items that jangle and rattle with every movement. Even if it adds to the comedic aspect of the film, it has created an association in our minds: wearing a lot of statement jewelry all at once will make you look older. This is dependent on your personality and personal style once again.

Prints

When we’re young, we have access to all of the latest fashions and fads. Taking risks with one’s appearance is acknowledged and admired. Just like fear causes you to grow older, the young aren’t frightened to try new experiences. Despite the fact that you may be retired and no longer live in an artsy studio apartment, you might still be considered young at heart, so why not allow yourself to dress in that manner? Don’t let yourself become indistinguishable from the crowd. Instead, experiment with new things like prints and bright colors. The way you hold yourself changes when you are wearing a garment that makes you feel wonderful.

Two-Piece Sets

If you happen to be someone who appreciates the coverage and comfort provided by a silhouette like this, by all means, don’t hesitate to wear it. However, if the two-piece formal dress does not reflect your true feelings, don’t be afraid to try on gowns that appear to be “younger.” Take a look at the red carpets in Hollywood and observe how celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez and Sofia Vergara dress to get an idea. Each of them has a completely different style, yet none of them adhere to age-restricted rules. Maintaining a young appearance is simple: you don’t have to age your clothes in order to do it.

Cheap Fabrics

Although it may be tempting to save money by purchasing a piece of clothing for $15 rather than $50, keep in mind that high-quality textiles appear considerably different on the body. They are comfortable to wear, they seem more tailored, and they offer your silhouette more shape. Wearing a high-quality garment will quickly elevate your appearance, causing you to appear attractive and well-coordinated rather than scruffy. The textiles that individuals wear are one of the reasons why they appear worn down.

Brooches

Who doesn’t adore a well-placed brooch? They can bring a distinctive accent to a traditional ensemble. The error lies in putting one on with every single outfit, every single day of the week. Despite the fact that brooches can be worn in a fashionable manner, they have an old-fashioned air about them. If you wear them too frequently or too many of them at the same time, it will create the impression that you are much older than you really are. In the event that you find yourself debating whether or not to include a brooch in an ensemble, the answer will be “no” 90% of the time.

Forgetting A Belt

Most women find it flattering to show off their shape at any age, regardless of their age. There are some clothing items that don’t show off the waistline, and that’s just OK. An accessory such as a belt is recommended in this situation to complete the look. When done right, loose-fitting clothing can be cute once in a while; nevertheless, having a straight line down the torso can be quite ugly and aging to the appearance. So, just make sure you have a classic belt that you can use with a variety of different outfits.

Crimped Hair

This is a haircut that should only be experimented with by children and should never be attempted by adults. No one in their right mind would believe that having crimped hair is a smart idea, would they? No one has ever looked good with their hair crimped. People who witness it would say and believe the opposite of what you are considering and convincing yourself is correct. Aside from the fact that it does not look attractive, the procedure of accomplishing it will cause significant harm to your hair. The crimping iron causes more harm than the curling iron.

Perms

Is it even still a thing in today’s world? Although it was a popular hairstyle in the 1990s, we can certainly state that it is not something that will spring to mind when you go to the salon nowadays! Who would have thought that getting their hair permed would even be a possibility this year? No one, absolutely no one. Aside from the fact that it’s completely out of style, getting your hair permed can also cause significant damage to it. Not to mention the fact that you’d look like you’ve got a poodle in your hair or something like that.

Top Knots

This hairstyle was once popular, thanks to Jennifer Lopez’s sporting it. However, it has long since vanished. Nowadays, top knots are less fashionable, which is a good thing because this hairstyle has the tendency to make you appear rather serious and unapproachable. There is one positive aspect to it, however: it gives the impression of making you appear taller. Although it may seem strange, the majority of the girls believe it to be true. Well, it’s possible that this is not the case for everyone, but we’ll never know for certain.

Neon Streak

It is rather astonishing that this hairdo was even considered for inclusion in a fashion trend in the first place. The majority of them that had this done to their hair are clubbers, to put it mildly. It’s rather intriguing, and it appears to be quite dashing in photographs. In actuality, though, the situation is quite the contrary. It simply does not appear to be attractive in person. It is usually preferable to opt for a much more straightforward and natural appearance rather than this one.

Buzz Cuts

On the runway and in magazines, you may see models wearing this hairdo with confidence. It is preferable to consume it throughout the summer months! Who wouldn’t enjoy taking a walk on the beach and not having to worry about hair? Forget about wasting time styling your hair for hours on end anymore. The bad news is that not everyone is able to pull it off and look good doing it, which is a shame. This hairstyle is not for everyone, and it certainly should not be considered one of your go-to looks on a regular basis. It’s always better to be safe than sorry, right?

Glittery Hair

We couldn’t comprehend that this had become a trend in the first place. Seriously? Having this hairdo is not necessarily a bad idea if you’re attending a themed or kiddie party or taking art classes. For those considering having and engaging in daily rituals, we recommend that you take a step back and reconsider a hundred times before going ahead with it. Glittery items can be replaced with hair accessories that are readily available on the market today. It is, without a doubt, a better idea.

Space Buns

Previously, space buns did not create much of a splash in the world of hairstyles. We’d seen it on Khloe Kardashian before, but that was the extent of it. It appeared to be quite adorable, particularly in her Instagram pictures. Despite the fact that she tried her hardest to make this style popular, we have to assume that it was not meant to be. This haircut may be appropriate for attending themed events; nevertheless, it is not appropriate for everyday wear or even for work hours in most situations.

Animé Hair

We understand if you’re into cosplay, but if you’re not going to a costume party or Comic-Con, we ask that you refrain from wearing this haircut. Allow it to go. Especially if you’re not a child anymore, you should avoid wearing hairstyles that resemble anything related to rainbows, unicorns, or mermaids. Instead, you should wear something more appropriate. Alternatively, if you’re one of those people who has a different color wig for every day of the week, please keep them in the privacy of your own house rather than wearing them in public places.

Dreadlocks

Unless you’re a native Jamaican or an indigenous African, you should seriously consider cutting your dreads! We are currently in the year 2020, and dreadlocks are no longer considered fashionable. If you don’t want to attract unwelcome attention, we strongly advise against getting dreadlocks. Not to mention that they are both uncomfortably tight and extremely unsanitary. Maybe if they ever make a comeback, you’ll be able to get your hands on them.

Ringlets

You shouldn’t have ringlets unless you live in the Victorian era and are wearing a big poofy frock, which is rare these days. Naturally, curly hair can be tough to manage, and we understand this. However, there are many different solutions available to you to help you manage your hair more easily. If you have ringlets, this hairstyle is completely out of date and does not belong in our present decade, start looking for ways to switch things up right away!

Mohawks

If you believe that mohawks are a perfectly amazing style choice, we’re here to tell you that you’re completely wrong about that! No matter if you’re a member of a rock band or a professional football player, this haircut is an absolute no-no, and you should get rid of it immediately! It just serves to make you stand out and appear as a punk, which we’re sure is not what you’re going for. especially if you’re a woman of mature years like Rihanna

Visible Bobby Pins

We just have one question about this ‘hairstyle’, and that is why it exists. Even though we recognize the necessity of hairpins, we believe there is no reason for them to be that noticeable and to take over your entire head. First and foremost, for girls with lighter hair colors, choose bobby pins that are more natural in appearance so that they are less noticeable. As an example of what you should never do, look no farther than Kristen Stewart and her wild bobby pin hairdo.
