How do you look older?

Anyone got any tips on looking older?

In the past few weeks, I've had six different people think I looked only 18.

It's quite sad really.

Especially since I'm 23.

I don't have any advice sorry but if you look five years younger now, its bound to pay off when we are older.

Dye your hair grey.

I'd be flattered if someone thought I was 18 when I was 23!
And for anything you actually need to be 23 for (clubs etc) just take ID.
EMBRACE YOUR YOUNGNESS!

....I'll stop now...

Dye your hair a mundane colour, take piercings off if you have them, wear glasses, wear shirts (like..button up shirts), carry handbags, dont wear converses/trainers/teenageshoes. Basically.

Whats wrong with looking young?

I would want to look young so i could get child rail tickets. my friend who is a year older than me can get them!!! :( *it's not fair*

I understand about wanting to look older. I've always looked younger than I am, never mind what I wear and despite the white hairs appearing. [seem to have bypassed grey completely!]
For me, I find that when I am in a more adult mind state, I look a bit older.

*sigh* i have the oppisite problem, i look older than i actully am.

Im 20 and get told I look 16 lol but I don't mind because I'd rather look cute than sexy anyway. Plus Im sure it will pay off as I get older! I always carry ID on me so it's never a problem. Though it is funny when my boyfriend gets served and I get asked for ID, Im 9 months older than him!

I'm 18 and I'm always getting told I look older.
As Maja said, that's probably the best way to look older, but looking young isn't such a bad thing!

I have no idea how old i look. I guess I just look my age.

Cathy · 15-06-2008, 01:09 PM

18 is fine. you can still buy alcohol :\

but.. make up.

At least they still think you're legal?
Embrace it, you'll love it when you look younger when you're older.

Zedebee · 15-06-2008, 01:23 PM

I have the same problem, minus 3 years. ID is the best.

Drink, smoke, tan, consume sugars, have too many boyfriends, avoid fresh vegetables and exercise - that's how most people do it.
