Stylist Tells Us Clothing Colors And Patterns That Make You Look Older
Swap traditional check patterns for polka dots
The check is another classic print that will always reemerge on the runway in one form or another. If your goal is to avoid looking older, though, Joseph Katz reveals that large checks can come across as too traditional. "For a more updated aesthetic, consider classic black-and-white polka dots, which are rising in popularity — especially in smaller scales with spaced elements," he exclusively notes to Glam. Jennifer Lawrence's polka-dot Oscars dress was the start of a huge style trend in 2024, so don't be afraid to ride the wave that's still going strong.
Whether you go for checks or polka dots, you can make the look more youthful by choosing unpredictable patterns. "Add a playful touch by incorporating irregular shapes and varied sizes," Katz tells us. "This innovative approach creates a fun and modern vibe, perfect for those looking to stand out."
