Looking at photographs of these stars, one cannot help but be surprised.

Many stars look stunning, but some especially - sometimes it seems that they have found real way stop time. In this selection you will find famous beauties whose age is almost impossible to guess by their appearance.

(Total 13 photos)

It seems that the top model, who received the nickname “Body” from colleagues and journalists, has not changed at all for the last 20 years. MacPherson is absolutely not afraid of the paparazzi: the Internet is full of photographs of her without makeup or in a bikini. And in the case of Elle, lovers of slander have nothing to profit from: both the figure and the model’s face are in perfect order. What's the secret? "First of all, I believe in healthy eating, 8 hours of sleep and daily workouts,” says the top model. She admits that with age it becomes more and more difficult for her to maintain her figure. Now the only treat she can afford is a cup of hot chocolate in the morning. Elle also tries to minimize the use of makeup products, which, in her opinion, age the skin. An ambiguous beauty rule, but apparently it works for the model.

Everyone who has ever seen the famous TV presenter live notes her rare aristocratic beauty and natural grace. Unlike many celebrities, Sati does not hide her age and willingly shares her beauty secrets: “I’m 52, but I haven’t had any lifts - I swear! Otherwise, my husband will divorce me, my close friend will stop communicating, and my daughters will boycott. And yet I never say never. So far I have been helped by Bellefontaine mesotherapy and Joelle Siocco's buccal massage, which is performed from the oral mucosa. I also did ultrasonic lifting using the Ulthera System device - a painful but effective technique.”

At her age, the actress happily wears minis and does not refuse pictures with explicit scenes. If you don't believe me, watch the recent film "The Passion of Don Juan". In one of the interviews, the actress shared the secrets of beauty and good shape: “My mother (she is from Scotland) taught me to beware of the sun’s rays and use products with SPF. I also try to eat healthy, eating fresh fish and organic vegetables. I exercise regularly - yoga and jogging 3-4 times a week. Sometimes I go on a detox diet without alcohol, sugar and flour. Behind a short time you can achieve amazing results. But to be honest, when I was young I was more disciplined in terms of sports and nutrition. “I guess now I’ve realized that life is too short to deny yourself little pleasures.”

Large-scale concert tours, ongoing projects to create clothing collections and cosmetics lines, work in cinema and recording studios - it seems that the pop diva knows the secret of not only eternal youth, but also continuous energy. From time to time, photographs from the series “a star after Botox injections” or “Madonna had a facelift” appear on the Internet. We are ready to forgive the singer’s small (or is it still big?) feminine tricks; thanks to them, she remains a role model for millions of fans. Moreover, this does not in any way affect Madonna’s talent or performance. She herself, by the way, claims that she has never had plastic surgery, and owes her blooming appearance exclusively to her young lovers.

"My ex-husband called me Dorian Gray and himself his portrait,” Sharon Stone joked in a recent interview with ELLE and added: “The older I get, the more I move away from the image of a fatal temptress, for whom men are ready to go to the ends of the earth.” As I got older, I began to think differently about beauty. I can't ignore the changes that are happening to my face and body. Besides, I get up every day at six in the morning to prepare breakfast for my sons, so there’s simply no time to feel sexy.” It seems to us that the actress is being a little disingenuous: she regularly appears on the red carpet in charming outfits with revealing cleavage and poses for men's magazines in lingerie. At the same time, Sharon’s stunning figure, slender legs and chiseled oval face can arouse envy not only among her peers, but also among her younger colleagues.

Age and time, apparently, really have no power over the appearance of the blond American model Christie Brinkley. Her career in the fashion business spans more than 40 years, during which the beauty has appeared on at least 500 covers. At 60, Christie, a mother of three, looks 30 and easily outshines some 20-year-olds. A well-honed athletic figure with perfect proportions, which Brinky can still boast of, once served as a prototype for the creation of a Barbie doll. It’s clear why popular men’s magazines year after year include her in the list of the sexiest and most desirable women on the planet. Christy's daily exercise routine, yoga, running and water sports, which she loves, help her stay in shape. There are also dietary restrictions. The blacklist includes sweets, meat and dairy products. By the way, Brinky does not hide the fact that he regularly seeks the services of plastic surgeons and cosmetologists. However, we must give them their due: they managed to preserve all the characteristic facial features and facial expressions of Christie. Fine work!

Actress Sigourney Weaver has always been distinguished by her tall height (182 cm) and athletic, fit figure. Largely thanks to these data, Sigourney was approved for the brutal role of spaceship officer Ripley in the cult film saga “Alien.” Despite her shaved head (Alien, 1979), lack of makeup and deliberately masculine outfits (military-style overalls, leather uniform, etc.), Weaver managed to look feminine. After the release of the science-fiction thriller, she was even awarded the title of sex symbol. With age, the actress has not lost any of her attractiveness, keeping her body in great shape. At the age of 52, she played the role of an insidious seductress in the comedy “Heartbreakers” (2001). In some scenes she appears in revealing lace tights and, I must say, she looks very convincing in it even against the backdrop of her young co-star Jennifer Love Hewitt. Now 64, Sigourney is still slim and youthful. At the same time, in various interviews, Weaver has repeatedly admitted that she is not a fan cosmetic procedures and plastic surgery. The secret to great health and appearance lies in moderate nutrition, fasting days, an active lifestyle and constant protection of the skin from the sun. Although, perhaps, genetics also played a role here: Sigourney’s mother lived to be 94 years old.

The image of the honored singer Sofia Rotaru was formed a long time ago. Dark flowing hair, parted in the middle, brightly defined eyes and spectacular outfits. For several decades now, the burning brunette has rightfully been considered one of the most beautiful women throughout the post-Soviet space. According to the singer, she tries to avoid plastic surgeons' offices. But he respects gardening (it also burns a lot of calories!) and sports, which he has been involved in since childhood. In nutrition, Sofia Mikhailovna adheres to a rational approach: she eats in small portions and only healthy natural products. And if you need to get rid of a couple of extra pounds, you go on a 9-day diet: three days of boiled rice, three days of vegetables and three days of fruits. Let's take note.

Her grandchildren do not call her grandmother, using a short secret name that journalists try in vain to find out. Of course, Catherine is no longer the seductive girl with blond curls and huge eyes from the film “The Umbrellas of Cherbourg”. However, at her age, a true Frenchwoman looks gorgeous, putting a minimum of effort into it. Katrin loves to eat delicious food, does not refuse a glass of wine, and besides, she can often be seen with a cigarette. The actress considers her beauty to be hereditary and thanks for her youthful appearance appearance mom's genes. She also tries to sleep well and for a long time, every week she does a special drainage facial massage and does not forget about sun protection. Agree, not the most difficult rules?

Raquel Welch has not appeared on the big screen for almost 20 years, but she still lives up to the title of sex symbol that was assigned to her many years ago. The road to Hollywood in the 1960s was opened for her by the film “One Million Years BC”, in which the actress sported a revealing outfit made of animal skin. In subsequent films, the directors actively imposed on Raquel the image of a sexy thing in a swimsuit. Now the actress does not act in films, but she passionately takes care of herself, does yoga, visits cosmetologists and does makeup and hair styling every day.

The head of the fashion house Carolina Herrera always looks impeccable - elegant hair, makeup with bright lipstick, clothes that emphasize her thin waist. In her advanced years, Carolina Herrera Sr. not only monitors fashion trends- she creates them! The designer tries to spend as much time as possible among young people, this helps them keep abreast of all world events and innovations. Moreover, Carolina Herrera is trying to learn something new: in 2012, she sat down at the Fashion Institute in New York and received a doctorate in Fine Arts. Apparently, such a positive attitude towards life bears fruit, reflected in Mrs. Herrera’s appearance.

The name of this actress is strongly associated with aerobics. In the 1990s, girls all over the world worked out to videotapes with exercises from Jane Fonda. By the way, she still records and releases her master classes. Only now they are addressed to women over 50 years old. Exercises do not involve much physical activity, but they help maintain tone and recharge your energy. Jane herself is a living example of the effectiveness of her techniques: in tight dresses on the red carpet, she looks no worse than 30 years ago.

“It’s hard to become irresistible if you’re lazy,” this saying of a witty Italian woman has long become an aphorism. Senora Lauren tries to follow her rule, regardless of her years. She wakes up early, always does gymnastics, walks a lot in the fresh air, eats only healthy food (fruits, vegetables, fish) and leads an active social life. The actress calls one of her beauty secrets olive oil Extra Virgin. She adds it to salads and applies it to her skin and hair. By the way, in 2007, Sophia Loren, who was then 72 years old, posed for the famous Pirelli calendar, proudly showing the world her feminine figure. And it seems that today nothing is stopping her from repeating this bold step.

“They didn’t sell me alcohol in the store today,” “They asked me for my passport when I ordered a glass of wine” - you’ve probably often heard similar phrases from friends and acquaintances. Sometimes in response to such a story you really want to say: “That’s right, you really look much younger,” and in other cases you can only nod understandingly so as not to seem impolite. The phenomenon of how we tend to evaluate our own age and how our assessment relates to the assessment of others is of interest to both ordinary people and scientists. Before moving on to the signs of youth, let’s find out what the latter think about this.

Forever Young

The problem of age perception has long been actively studied by psychologists. Scientists even identified a special term - subjective age. It denotes the attitude of a person to his own age, and there are several bases for assessment: How old do you feel, how old do you look, and how old do you act?(this includes assessing your own interests, hobbies, work, etc.). We are interested in the second point - how old we look A) in my own opinion, b) according to others. In the West, research in this area began to be carried out in the 1960s. Domestic psychologists became concerned with the problem a little later, but are also actively developing it.

In 2013, the journal Psychological Research published the results of a study of several age groups: from 20 to 30 years old, from 40 to 50 years old and from 60 to 70 years old. During its course it became clear that majority of respondents in all age groups tend to think that they look younger than their age. If we summarize the data, it turns out that on average we believe that we look 4-5 years younger than our real age. Moreover, after 25 years, the tendency to consider oneself younger only gains momentum.

There is another interesting detail: When people are asked to guess the age of others from photographs, they are rarely wrong. Often the error is less than a year, sometimes up to two years.

In world psychology, our tendency to consider ourselves younger than our calendar age is explained by psychological defense mechanism: a person wants to somehow cope with the problem of aging and not lose his place in a society focused on youth.

Signs that you look younger than your age

So how can we tell if we really look younger or if we are just happy to be deceived by looking at our own reflection in the mirror? There are several signs that will help determine this. Of course, it is unlikely that you will be able to get an accurate objective assessment using this list, but it will help you get your bearings.

1. Youth angle

The clear line of the lower jaw and the pronounced obtuse angle it forms from the side greatly influence the perception of the face. When the line is blurry (and it happens even in young people), the face immediately visually gains 4-5 years of age.

2. Invisible pores

“Imagine the pore vertically: it will be shaped like a V,” says Amy Wexler, a dermatologist from the United States. - That is, at the base it is narrower, and closer to the surface of the skin it expands. Enlarged pores tend to make you look older."

It is unlikely that it will be possible to radically change the size of pores with the help of cosmetics, because this parameter (like almost everything in our appearance) is determined by genetics, but regular cleansing and exfoliation will help improve the situation, the doctor explains.

3. No freckles on the chest and arms

Pigmentation is often a sign of age. And now we are not talking about cute freckles on an obviously young or even teenage face, but about scatterings of dark spots on the chest, shoulders and arms. According to the same Dr. Wexler, they immediately add up to 10 years to your appearance.

4. Thick natural eyebrows

Recently, the role of eyebrows in facial architecture has been appreciated to the maximum - and this plays a cruel joke on many. Girls begin to draw non-existent volume, width and length, getting too carried away and going beyond the bounds of reason. Therefore, we do not suggest that eyebrows drawn with an overly generous hand be considered a sign of youth. But real, thick, beautifully designed eyebrows are fine. By the way, the stars also prove the validity of this rule by their example: for example, top Instagram blogger Natalya Davydova (Aunt Motya) admitted that she had an eyebrow transplant because she could not grow natural ones, and this procedure instantly transformed her face.

5. Face without puffiness

Photo: LEGION-MEDIA

Excessive puffiness is clearly not a sign of youth and freshness, and the so-called “pillow face” immediately adds at least a dozen years to its owner. Remember, for example: a quite young girl in recent photos looked like a mature woman only because, according to rumors, she was fond of alcohol and illegal drugs. Lohan's face became too puffy for her age, her cheekbones no longer stood out, and that very “youth angle” blurred. The same trouble overtook Madonna, but for a different reason: the pop queen became interested in fillers based on hyaluronic acid. And they, in turn, attract and accumulate around themselves the water that is already in the body. As a result, the singer got the opposite effect from what she wanted: she not only did not look younger, but also visually added several years to herself.

6. Strong nails without yellowing

Hands show age, and this thesis is not new. However, we are talking here not only about the condition of the skin on the hands, but also about the nails. An interesting study was published in the American Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery about how people perceive their nails. Respondents were asked to estimate the age of several people based on their hands. They were given two types of photographs: photographs of hands with unpainted nails and photographs of hands with varnished nails and jewelry on the fingers. It turned out that hands with nails without varnish are perceived as older. This is most likely due to the fact that the varnish covers yellowness, uneven nail relief and other imperfections. Researchers have concluded that unkempt nails can add up to five years to your actual age.

7. Ease of movement

It’s not just our appearance that influences how others perceive us. The way we move plays a significant role. It is known that the movements of young people (or those who are perceived as young) are wider, more active, and more energetic. For example, young people often turn their whole body, and not just their head, when they need to look back or to the sides. They do not save energy, intuitively trying to move more “sparingly,” as usually happens with age.

How old is Millie Bobby Brown, and how does Jennifer Lopez maintain her figure at 49 years old? BeautyHack has 10 girls who look younger or older than their real age.

Kate Upton

Kate has been working as a model since 2008. Then she signed her first modeling contract with Elite Model Management. The girl’s portfolio includes covers for Maxim, Shape, Sports Illustrated, Vogue, and Glamor magazines. In 2016, Kate became the face of the Bobbi Brown brand. More regalia - 18th place in the list of the sexiest women in the world according to FHM and the most sexy woman planet according to Maxim magazine in 2018. Kate is now pregnant and expecting her first child with her husband, baseball player Justin Verlander. Do you think the girl managed to do all this by the age of 30? On June 10, the model turned only 26.

Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer is 49 years old. She looks very commendable! On the one hand, the singer never stops working hard on her figure (she regularly does push-ups and planks and trains with her instructor David Kirsch, read how exactly) and gives concerts (the photo above was taken just after one of them). On the other hand, he does not refuse the help of cosmetologists. The chief physician of the Remedy Lab clinic, Tatyana Bykovskaya, says that Jay Lo undergoes hardware lifting, botulinum toxin injections, biorevitalization and mesotherapy courses. There is also an opinion that Lopez resorted to a circular lift.

Carey Mulligan

Carey Mulligan has been acting in films since 1997. Then the actress was 12 years old. Now the still young Carey is 33 years old. Her most famous roles are Daisy in The Great Gatsby and Jenny in An Education. No matter how hard the make-up artists try, the girl always looks younger on set. Red carpets are no exception. It's all about romantic hairstyles and polka dot outfits. And even wine lipstick doesn't make her look older.

IN real life Carey is a mother of two children; she gave birth to her second child in 2017.

Bella Hadid

Bella is 21 years old. And it's really hard to believe! Perhaps because everyone has seen pictures of the girl before her modeling career or her name has been around for ages (in fact, four years - then Bella was only 17). Natalya Grigorieva, managing partner of the Premium Aesthetics clinic, explains that in order to meet model standards, Hadid had rhinoplasty several times, removed Bisha's lumps and enlarged upper lip fillers. This whole story has only one nuance - the “new” appearance adds ten years to Bella. By the way, in one of the interviews, the model admitted that her icon is Cher (more facts about the star - by).

Millie Bobby Brown

Millie Bobby Brown is a different story. She is only 14, which is impossible to guess without knowing the actress personally. In photos from the red carpet, she looks 25, although she also gets “young” roles. The most famous is Eleven from Stranger Things. Millie began starring in the series in 2016 and received an Emmy nomination.

For a year now, Millie has been represented by the IMG Models agency, and in January 2018 she became the face of Calvin Klein.

Bella Thorne

Bella Thorne first appeared on screen in 2003 - then she was 6 years old. Through simple calculations, it is easy to understand that she is now only 20, and the actress has already managed to say goodbye to her career in TV series and has taken up feature films. Bella plays young girls (high school girls, for example), but in real life she looks 25+. It's all because of either bright makeup on the red carpet or candid photos V Instagram-millionaire.

Lily-Rose Depp

Lily-Rose's parents are Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis. Therefore, the girl grew up on film sets. But she herself came into the picture relatively late, starring in the 2014 film “Tusk” in the company of her father. She was 15 years old then. But the girl became famous throughout the world later - when she closed the Chanel show on the arm of Karl Lagerfeld. Now Lily is 19, and she is friends with Kristen Stewart, with whom they seem to be the same age (although Kristen turned 28 in April).

Hailee Steinfeld

Haley owes her popularity to the Coen brothers, who gave the 14-year-old actress a role in the film True Grit in 2010. And if in the western Steinfeld really looks (and plays) like a teenager, then three years later in Romeo and Juliet there is not a trace of the child left. Now she is only 21, and even in Instagram she looks much older.

Alyson Hannigan

Fans of the series “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and the film “American Pie” are now shuddering: Alison turned 44 in March 2018, and she has two daughters who are starting 1st and 4th grades this year. An infectious smile, red hair color and always a fresh look (no filters in Instagram) - everything is like in Hannigan’s best roles in the 90s.

Anna Kendrick

Anna, who presented the film “A Simple Favor” with Blake Lively in September, turned 33 years old. This is hard to believe, because back in 2012 she played a schoolgirl in Twilight. Despite her youthful appearance, Anna’s track record is impressive - 47 films and one Oscar nomination for the film “Up in the Air,” in which the girl’s partner was George Clooney.

These days, looking your age is practically bad manners. Women are ready to give all their money and soul in addition to hear the cherished: “I will never give you your years!” And men have not considered their years to be wealth for a long time, although they do not demonstrate it so obviously. Against this background, it seems even strange that there are people who consider too young an appearance a real problem.

But they exist. We tried to find out what prevents those who look 10 years younger than their age from living.

Daria, 27 years old: “The child will be run over!”

— It’s nice to look younger than your age, but it often gets in the way. I worked in a shopping center as a promoter, and every day a woman came up to me and said that the employer does not have the right to exploit me for 10 hours, because I am a minor, and this is a violation Labor Code. I couldn’t convince her that I had already graduated from college. During rush hour, the ladies on the bus usually shout, looking at me: seat the child, otherwise they will run him over!

Maria, 26 years old: “Everyone is rude to me!”

— I hardly wear makeup, I wear a backpack, overalls and a Panama hat. I’m twenty-seven, but even the doctors at first decide that I’m only seventeen years old. There is only one thing that worries me: automatically deciding that I have not yet crossed the threshold of adulthood, people often treat me condescendingly, if not rudely. It is especially difficult to deal with the official world of Russia, such as passport offices and hospitals. Everyone there is sure to be rude to me: from those waiting to those receiving. True, as soon as they find out that I’m almost thirty, they fall into confusion - a clear illustration of “expectations and reality.” This dynamic is especially offensive: why don’t I deserve the same thorough, calm tone of communication if I’m N years younger than you thought?

Andrey, 29 years old: “They demanded that the car be returned to my parents!”

Because of my teenage appearance, I look 14, so I can’t arrange my personal life. It is difficult to find a girl who wants to look older than her man. I dreamed of working as a driver, but they constantly stop me and check my documents at every checkpoint. When they see the age, they are surprised. A couple of times I was stopped in the middle of the road and demanded to return the car to my parents. When I showed my license and invited me to my 30th birthday, they apologized. You have to travel by metro and bus, because you never know how a trip by car will end.

Marina, 36 years old: “They decided that I was a child mother!”

— I am petite, short in stature. Clients at the bank didn't treat me because I looked like a teenager. I had to add years to myself with “age-related” hairstyles and formal clothes. And when I got married and my husband and I moved to new house, the neighbors started asking questions. When my daughter was born, I began to go outside with a stroller and noticed that the grandmothers at the entrance were looking at me somehow askance. Once I heard people discussing me. They decided that I was a child mother, although I was already 27. Once in kindergarten The new teacher, giving me the child, muttered that the parents could come for their daughter themselves, and not send their sister for her. But I can wear youth clothing and I don’t look ridiculous in it. My daughter and I shop at children's store identical funny T-shirts or sundresses for a family look. And on the playground I can climb any ladder or slide with my child.

Evgenia, 27 years old: “They didn’t hire me!”

— I always looked 10 years younger than my age. Because of this, I was not hired to work at the bank, despite my honors diploma. Although at the university I could not study anything at all, the teachers were ready to give me grades for my angelic look. I tried to apply more makeup, but it looks funny. I'm married, but I'm not ready to have children yet because I feel like I'm half a child.

Irina, 42 years old: “He just didn’t know what to do!”

— It turned out funny with my second husband. I fell in love so much that for the first time in my life I began to take more or less active steps, making it clear that I wanted to date him. And he just didn't know what to do. I’m 39, I looked young, the men were surprised, they say, the maximum you can give is 32. And he is almost 50, and he thought that we were 18-20 years apart. And so he almost shied away from me, saying, why does he need such a thing? a big difference, he wanted a family, he was looking for a woman a little younger than himself, but obviously not almost 20 years younger! When he found out my age, he just exhaled and relaxed, and began making dates.

— I’m 26, but I look at most 16! This causes me great inconvenience! It’s okay that in the store they ask for your passport, I’m used to it. Although it's funny to see how wide the eyes of the sellers are when they see my date of birth. At the hospital, when I go through a medical examination, they also constantly ask how old you are, like, boy, do you need to go to a children’s hospital - it’s infuriating! When I meet people on the Internet without a photo, they give me 25 years of communication, but when I show my photo, they write: don’t lie, it’s not you! But those who I like, and especially those who are older and we are on the same level of communication, always do not let me go beyond the friend zone... Sometimes I just negotiate with available girls, because girls my age are not interested in me, and young girls are not interesting to me.

Olga, 27 years old: “They thought I was 12!”

“I’ve long been accustomed to the fact that they don’t sell me alcohol, so at the checkout I immediately show my passport without waiting for questions. The funniest incident happened at my cousin's wedding. The guests opposite noticed that I had a bottle of whiskey in my hands and said: “Try it a little, and then give it to the adults, okay?” They thought I was 12. Friends reassure me that at 40 I will look 30, but now that doesn’t make it any easier.

Tatyana, 28 years old: “I was late for class!”

“Students also sometimes think that I’m still in school, and my colleagues mistake me for a student. Last winter, I walked into the school where I work, stood there waiting for my glasses to sweat, then the janitor came up to me and so warmly asked: “Are you late for class?”

Anastasia, 30 years old: “How did they trust you with such an expensive camera?”

“I’ve long been accustomed to the fact that I look about 22-23 years old, and if without makeup, then generally 16-17 years old.” The matter is aggravated by my short height - 160 cm, natural blonde hair and baby dimples. Funny situations happen in connection with my line of work. I am a photographer (I shoot weddings, portraits, etc.). And a couple of times, when I came to the shoot, the groom’s parents, for example, or other people who didn’t know by sight, came up to me and said: “Girl, when will the photographer come? How did she entrust you with such expensive equipment?..” I laugh, and they blush and turn pale with embarrassment when it turns out that I am the photographer, and not just guarding the camera...

Are you tired of being confused with your younger brother or sister? You may look older and appear more mature than you really are. Just watch the way you dress and act, and people will start to think you're more mature.

Steps

Wear the right clothes

    Get rid of the teenage fancy clothes. One of the components by which we are judged is clothing. What we wear can influence how others think of us. If you want to look older, stop wearing teenage clothes. Start purchasing items in other departments of stores. Just pass by children's department and head to the adult section. In the usual children's departments you will find clothes made from cheap, thin and translucent materials that give childish look. Consider clothes made from good material instead.

    Wear clothes in your size. Swap baggy items for tighter ones. You don't want your clothes to completely engulf you. This style gives you an unsightly and sloppy look. On the contrary, tight-fitting clothing gives an immature and youthful appearance.

    Don't wear printed T-shirts. A T-shirt with any logo or funny inscription speaks of a person’s immaturity. This may include brand names, logos, and so on. If you want to look mature, remove T-shirts from your wardrobe altogether.

    Wear quality jeans. Jeans are an integral part of any person's wardrobe, regardless of age. However, you should choose your jeans more carefully if you want to look older. Buy jeans exclusively good quality. Make sure they are not high-waisted or, conversely, low-waisted.

    • Guys should only buy straight jeans. Girls can purchase jeans with slightly flared legs, loose or skinny ones. If you decide to buy skinny jeans, make sure they don't feel too tight.
    • Change highlights or ripped jeans for darker models. You should not wear jeans with rhinestones or other accessories.

  1. Wear the right shoes. Complete your look with a selection the right shoes. You should not wear sneakers or shoes made of fabric. You should also avoid wearing shoes that are too flashy. If you are a girl, it is not at all necessary to wear shoes with very high heels or too sophisticated style. Regardless of gender, you should not wear flip flops. Instead, it is better to buy durable shoes.

    • Guys should wear boots. Black boots look good with almost any outfit. Leather boots with lace up can also be combined with all types of clothing. Loafers are also a great option if you don't want to wear boots. Patent leather shoes give a mature look.
    • Girls are advised to wear high heels. However, heels should not be very high. If you don't want to wear high shoes, buy ballet shoes. Sandals will look good in summer.

  2. Dress smartly. This is another way to look mature. Present yourself as a neat, professional person. This will help people see you as an adult and not a child.

    Get rid of your backpack. You shouldn't take a backpack when you go somewhere, it makes you look younger in people's eyes. Guys are advised to wear a messenger bag or leather briefcase. Girls can take a simple clutch or a small handbag.

  3. Develop your vocabulary. This doesn't mean you should throw around long, abstruse words in conversation. This behavior will simply make it seem like you are desperately trying to get attention. Concentrate better on removing children's and teenage words from your vocabulary that make you look childish. Speak slowly and meaningfully. Choose Right words to express a particular thought.

    • Use difficult words. For example, use: "This unusual idea! - instead of: “This new idea" Ask to be open with you, instead of asking to speak honestly. The more vocabulary a person has, the more mature and intelligent he seems.
    • Try not to overdo it with slang. Avoid the word “clear”, use “in particular”, “you see” in sentences. Try to eliminate the words “cool” and “dude” from your vocabulary. In correspondence, do not write words and sentences in full in capital letters. This can be perceived as a harsh tone or even shouting. In most cases, profanity should also be avoided.

  4. Be prepared to stand up for yourself politely. If someone is disrespecting you, you have the right to ask them to stop. After all, an important part of being a mature person is that he or she is respectful. Be direct and say what you want. Try not to use sarcasm or an offensive tone. If you use sarcasm and an offensive tone when making jokes, you will look unattractive and are unlikely to achieve the results you want.

    • For example, if someone interrupts you, ask them to wait and not interrupt themselves.
    • Don't say, “Wow, I can't believe you interrupted me!” Some people don’t know when to keep quiet.”
    • Learn to let go of the situation. Everyone has unpleasant situations with people, but you need to have wisdom to know how to behave correctly in a quarrel. Angry behavior or resentment can show your immaturity.
    • Often people don't even notice when you're offended. Therefore, be respectful of the feelings of others and sometimes even try not to notice the mistake or, if necessary, tell the other person that he hurt you.
