10 Fashion Mistakes Making You Look OLD & OUTDATED!
I am in my thirties and I don’t know. Maybe I look way older than that but these are specific things that I see everywhere and I swear it makes you look way older in a bad way. So I’ll be very specific in this video. If you have some of these items
And you think it’s just super flattering on you then you keep wearing it but this is just my opinion. So I will be sharing, the bad fashion mistakes that I see and then ways to improve it. So let’s just get started with the first one that everyone always talks about.
This is nothing new, but I definitely agree with it and it’s Capri pants. And here’s what I’m talking about which I’m sure you’re all very well aware of Capri pants. You might have some, you might still wear them. I mean, heck you can still buy Capri pants
But I don’t think they’re ideal for a couple reasons. Number one, they are out of style. They’re absolutely out of style. Number two, they are very, very unflattering. They actually cut your leg off at the worst spot. It cuts your leg off right at the center of your calf, which is that muscle
And it makes your legs look way chunkier and way stumpier than they really are. And because of the bizarre length of the Capri pants it actually tricks our eyes into thinking, you know like when you’re looking at somebody wearing Capri pants it makes it look like they torso
Is the same length as their legs, which is really bad. We want to have long looking legs. That’s what makes us look younger when we have like longer leaner legs. So the Capri pants completely wipes that out and I know Capri pants are technically kind of
A warmer weather style, you know, in the summer, kinda like it let’s air flow in, but they’re not really like it, they’re still pants. So I would say to kind of look younger and fresher just you can still wear maybe ankle pants. It’s gonna give you the same effect, but again
It cuts you off on the smaller portion of your leg and way more flattering. Bermuda shorts, I’ll cut to the chase, short and sweet very similar to Capri pants. They’re just a bizarre length. I didn’t love them when they were in-style but they’re absolutely out of style now
But I still see them around and I kind of understand why, like I know they’re shorts, that they conceal a larger portion of your legs, so if you don’t love your legs you feel more comfortable in them and it’s great for the hotter temperatures but I’m not saying you need to wear
Jessica Simpson cutoff shorts and show how off your butt. No, all I’m saying is the Bermuda shorts are out of style, aging, it’s not flattering, it cuts your leg off 50 50. I just think wearing a normal pair of shorts maybe a little bit above your knee would instantly make you look younger.
Next we have bulky shoes and I am well aware, like I’m still in my thirties. I feel like this is going to be not well received. Like this is not gonna be a video where people are happy with me because I know that I’m not in my forties
Or fifties or sixties and up where I have problem feet and I have to wear bulky shoes because the regular stilettos don’t work for me. Like I understand. However, my whole point in this is, I think a lot of people are still kind of stuck in wearing bulky shoes
Because their feet aren’t good anymore and they need comfort over style, which I understand. But my point is, there’s a lot of brands these days, even in the last five years alone, have come miles with like really stylish shoes that are also comfortable.
So I would say Clarks is like one of the best brands. They have so many stylish shoes right now that are very, very comfortable. And they’re like, they’re wider so that you don’t feel really constricted and don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot of ugly shoes on their website too
But there are so many stylish shoes too. So, if you have really, really, really bad feet and you think you’re wearing really bulky shoes just shop around, you’d be surprised at how stylish you can be. Okay. So this next style, it’s multiple styles that are definitely aging you
Is anything that is meant to be juvenile like very little girl styles. And I know that I’m not really explaining myself well here and I wanna be clear. I’m not talking about styles that you see younger people wearing and you’re like, oh my gosh, I could never pull that off,
It’s too trendy for me, I just don’t look good in that. I don’t mean that. I’m talking about styles that are literally meant for little girls and an example of this would be Mary Janes, like those shoes. I see women wearing them because they’re again kind of like bulky and comfortable,
But they’re still young. No, they’re meant for like five year olds. And same with like berets in the hair. If you’re wearing berets in your hair, it’s meant for little girls. Same with little cardigans, like little cardigans over dresses. That’s actually my next point.
That is something I see so any women of all ages, like even people younger than me like wearing little cardigans over dresses and that is something that seems very juvenile to me that you see like little five and six year old little girls wearing and I think there’s just better options.
You could wear all kinds of different jackets, blazers. You could wear cardigans but maybe little bit oversized. It’s like the little cardigans that are just again very juvenile actually ages you. Now, speaking of dresses, that leads me to my next point kinda, but let’s talk about floral patterns
Because you see a lot of floral patterns in dresses and pants and shirts, and just really everywhere. Florals are always in style but I really think that the big, bulky, bold floral prints make you look so much older and I don’t really have any scientific evidence as to why.
I mean, I think as a general rule, big patterns aren’t really that flattering, but I’ve always thought that more dainty, more feminine, more subtle floral patterns makes you look so much more youthful. Now you guys know, maybe you don’t know but I’m a purse girl.
Like I have so many purses that are so not practical. So a lot of, just taking this with a grain of salt. Pockets on purses, like outside, photo, this is what I’m talking about. So aging and this looks so not good. There are so many better things guys
And I know a lot of you like organization, you wanna have like a spot for your ChapStick. You wanna have a spot for your keys. I understand the appeal but it’s going to age you by like two decades. There are so many stylish purses out there that are very affordable
And all you need is a purse organizer. They’re like 20 bucks. You buy a nice tote. It could be of good quality, it could be cheap. It doesn’t even matter. But a nice, sleek looking tote will hold so much and then you can just put a handbag or purse organizer in there.
You can have all of your pockets like concealed and you can have a spot for everything, but on the outside you’re gonna look really polished, you’re gonna look chic, you’re gonna look put together and you’re gonna look a lot younger. Next, let’s talk about glasses. Now, this is another area
Where I feel like people will probably get mad at me because like, I don’t have glasses. So what can I really contribute here, but I really spent like two hours researching this and I’ve come to a couple conclusions so just take whatever you want out of this.
But I did see a big study where it pulled like hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people and it did conclude that when you put on a pair of glasses it unfortunately does age you by at least five years. So if you have contacts, obviously that’ll probably make you look younger
But I do think that there can be really stylish glasses and I don’t think it really matters what face shape you have. There’s all of these different charts and everything. Like if you have pear shape, you should wear this. If you have a square face, you should wear this.
And I really think it just comes down to you trying on glasses and whatever you think looks the best run with that because basically every rim style or shape is kind of in style these days. There’s really not like a wrong answer but there is one particular style that absolutely ages you
And you should stay away from, and that is any pair of glasses that has rhinestones or embellishments. But other than that, run free, go wild. Now, if you’re still wearing matching jewelry like matching earrings that look almost identical to the necklace, and then it’s real crazy when you get like a matching bracelet
It’s like a triple threat. I think that is definitely aging you making you look way older than you really are and I don’t see this as much now because this really just is out of style and you can’t even buy it like you use to just see the matching sets everywhere.
But if you still have that in your jewelry box I would say like, just don’t put on all three, even today, I’m wearing some you yellow gold with some white gold like I mix and match my medals. I think that’s a great way to look youthful.
You could even just go even more subtle, like maybe throw in a pair of earrings, but skip the necklace. Now, throughout this video, I have been talking about very specific fashion choices, whether it be clothing or shoes or accessories, but I wanna talk about hair
Because I think can really make a big improvement in making you look younger. And that’s just choosing to try out lighter hair like a lighter blonder hair color. Now hear me out because I do have brown hair. I’m naturally a brunette and I’ve had gray hair, no joke
Since, not tons of gray hair, but strands of gray hair since I was in 11th grade. I remember being in English class and there was a mirror on the back of the door and I was like, fixing my hair and I was like, oh my gosh, I see gray hairs
And they’ve been there ever since. So every few months I do have to dye my hair because I these weird gray hairs that continually grow. However, it’s not crazy yet and I’m sure as I age, it’ll get worse and worse and worse. So I see a lot of women
Still with the brown hair or the dark hair with crazy gray roots. And even if you keep on top of it, even within a week after dying your hair, you start to see the gray roots and it’s just makes you look a lot older. Whereas if you would try to transition slowly
Into lighter hair it really masks the grays as they come in and it just gives you a much more youthful appearance. Now I know there’s people out there that choose to just embrace their grays and I think that’s also great. I do think you’re gonna look a little bit older
But hey, why not. I mean, this is all just different suggestions but I do think lighter hair will make you look younger. Now in this video, we’re obviously talking about ways fashion can make you look a lot older, but in this video, we’re talking about eight ways
To buy cheap clothes that actually look really expensive. So if you’re new, make sure you subscribe, but I’ll see one over here. Bye.

Oh my gosh not only is this completely accurate you’ve made it soooo humorous 😂how adorable you are . And you haven’t singled anyone out . Just very helpful and fun ❤the capri pant part was my favourite 😂😂😂😂😂never liked them .
I'm in my 60's and I no longer do hearts or bows. they are too young for me. I have always had classic style so I do a lot of jackets and blazers etc. I am also petite so I cannot wear pattern at all. I add scarves to add floral or patterns. you can never fo wrong with classic and add whatever style of pant is in etc.
I don't get a negative vibe from this. Appreciate the suggestions. Just want you to stop apologizing for your opinion. Content is fair.
My feet are narrow and the only shoes that work for me are Mary Janes or lace ups. My feet slip out of everything else, even narrow ballet, pump,or loafer styles unfortunately. So it does annoy me to be told that dressy Mary janes are frumpy.
Gray and white hair, wash out the face. I'm 68. I keep mine light brown with blonde highlights. I always get compliments that I look younger than almost 70.
This aged like milk. 90% of these are what gen z wears today
Wait Cardigans? Like J Crew Cardigan are stylish? Thats a new one, I didn't know that. Why do stores still sell them?
You should mark it as for WHITE PEOPLE only 🙄🙄 Why would a brown or dark skin person color their hair blond when they are older??🤷🏻♀️
Bad narrow feet = Mary Jane's 😂
Spoken like a skinny rail who has nvr had an issue with her inner thighs…but not all of us have been blessed in this way, so pls stop shaming us by telling us we look old or passè for wanting to cover up in Bermudas.
Love you, Shae, but this really is more abt personal preference than ageing. Some ppl may think short shorts are immodest & tacky. The point is: we all hv our own style & need to feel confident in it.
My gray is like 2 strands, but it is coming in down my side swept bangs like Stacey London. I think I'm gonna keep it, she rocked it.
No disrespect, but her massive following shows how little people decide things for themselves. So grateful to NOT be a "follower".
Juvenile clothing I agree but how many women my age dress like that?
Capri pants and bermuda shorts , help cover legs that have been through carrying babies, excess weight coming and going. Talk to us when you get older😂
You lookolder
Style means nothing if you can't wear it. I cannot wear heels anymore, bad knees. Out they went, really nice stuff. sniff
Ok, capris. Not flattering on a full figured woman, or a full derriere.
Back when I was younger I was wearing short shorts. That doesn't look good on me anymore. The capris are a modest summer alternative for a slender or athletic body. The length is adjustable on some models. Worn quite frequently!
I'm 66, in good shape its ridiculous for me to try to look younger than I already do. On a good day, I might pass for Gen X. So, yeah, nevermind. I look great the way I am.
Not sure why looking older is a bad thing. We all age and just need to embrace it gracefully. I get your intentions, but your language is shaming.
The very worst thing: dressing in clothes which are not flattering to a person's shape. If you are 70 and you want to dress like a teenager, fine, it's no one else's business… but if the pieces are not the right size, i.e. too tight, just don't do it. Spend as much as you can afford, especially if you are plus sized. Buy well designed, fitted, classic pieces. Too much bling is debatable. Enjoy being comfy while keeping active. Drive less, walk more. Your posture needs to be a priority, so don't slouch, and do a three minute stretch when you wake up. Always do a daily regime for your face, hands, nails, hair, teeth. Drink a cup of water every hour. Love from GranMum. xx
Get real. Who cares what you think.
The mineral copper helps prevent grey hair. Foods rich in copper or supplements. It may not be effective on hair that has already turned grey, though.
Thanks so much for sharing this information
This woman does not know what she is talking about. Curtis wears the woke empowered ugly glasses and it is ugly.
Try a new trend put JESUS on ur fashion ,ul live a peaceful self.
It wouldn't matter at all.
So true I always dress classy even in high school please were beautiful sun dresses classy look like a lady.
OK this is one of the reasons why older women don't wear bermuda shorts instead of capri pants. Once you have a kid or two you might have terrible varicose veins and even after sclerotherapy the veins still come back. Also your knees may look terrible! I was photographed and published in W when I was young and worked in the fashion industry in NYC for decades. I'm still at my 8th grade weight but my body has shifted even though I work out every day of the year. So please don't be so judgmental about older women. You'll be one some day!
I stopped watching Shea about 6 months ago since I don’t think she likes women over 50. I’m way over that age so I haven’t been watching her. Anyway I came over today and she’s at it again. What’s old and what’s frumpy? I stay within comfortable clothes and I find she’s still telling us she’s in her 30’s. Rub it in, Shea.. I’m now depressed and shopping on Amazon for some comfortable moccasins from Clark’s. See Shea I do listen..
There are so many "ankle cut" pants out in stores at the moment and I don't get it. There is nothing more flattering – nothing makes your legs look longer – than LONG pants. WHY are people doing this to themselves??
My older sister who is 45 had on a long shirt with big bright floral prints of flowers. I had to say something. I asked her first where she got it and told her I didn’t like it on her. Honestly it made her look older and just so out dated. Hey if your sister can’t tell you the truth who can lol.
This video has not aged well lol. Most of the things that Shea says are out are actually in for summer 2023; Capri pants, Mary janes, hair clips etc. My takeaway? Wear what you want, but trying things in a new way can make items feel fresh
Wear what you love love what you wear!
She copied your video almost word for word: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXcvxtv5WXk
Just started watching Shea… I like the commentary even though I may not agree with all of it. Here's the thing, I see a lot of women getting real offended and combative over what's being said. This lady is just doing her thing, giving fashion advice. If you don't like it, then don't watch it! Stop the video and move on to something else. No one is forcing you to look at it. My question to you all (complainers) is this, if you think your style is so wonderful and you don't care what others think, why are you watching anyway?…hhmm🤔?…
Most women are wearing leggings with crappy sneakers. Or athleisure and they do not look like they work out. Stop.
WAIT_ you're saying you don't look super young and are in your thirties. I had to rewind to make sure I heard that right. So, in your thirties, you don't look super young? That's a damn shame that a woman in her thirties doesn't think she looks "Young." That is a sad reflection of the shallowness of cultural norms for beauty. First of all, why should we equate beauty with being super young? Because that's the logic behind this statement. Secondly, What the heck is this woman going to do in her fifties and sixties if she doesn't "LOOK YOUNG" now in her thirties? That's gonna be a sad wake up call. She's depending on her youth for her self esteem. Try to fast forward and see yourself as a 60 or 70-year-old. You'll be there before you know it!
I need visual replacements for the little cardigan lol. I’m cold at every wedding I go to
So I wear cardinals because of nasty scarring on my left shoulder… and lots of summer dresses and shirts are sleeveless and show my scars.
I don't have the skin tone to wear blonde hair
They are in good physical shape and they can wear them..pick on ppl on the beaches totally out of shape wearing thongs for swim suits..if you have an ass that looks like cottage cheese..cover it up.
