How to look older?

[Anonymous]

I'm 22, but people almost always assume I'm 13 or something. It's probably because I'm 5'3, rather slim and flat. Also, I have a small face.

I get treated like a child, and nobody takes me seriously during any social interactions. Even when I went to vote, people asked me if I'm old enough to vote, and then they began petting me. People always act shocked when I tell them my age. It worsens my social anxiety. Also, guys my age have no interest in me because they think I'm a kid.

Is there anything I can do to look my age? What can I wear to look "older"? Any makeup tips?

Buy the collectors edition of Zak McKracken. It comes with a pair of nose glasses that you could use in public. 😬

Forget the makeup. Your clothes and hairstyle can make a huge difference. Get advice from someone you think looks sophisticated.

I totally get how frustrating it can be when people underestimate your age. To project a more mature look, you could try a few style tweaks. For clothing, opt for well-fitted clothes in neutral or darker colors, like tailored jackets, blouses, and high-waisted pants. These can add a sophisticated touch. Makeup can also be your friend here. Focus on defining your brows, using eyeliner to add depth to your eyes, and a bold lipstick can add a grown-up flair. Hairstyles like sleek ponytails or soft waves might help, too. Accessories like classic watches or handbags can pull the look together. Remember, confidence is key and the most important accessory you can wear! 💄👗

Change your clothing style.

Add some skirts. Or business attire.
