Over 40 fashion blogger from Dallas wearing an orange maxi dress with gold accessories as one of 5 color combinations to help you look younger.

Happy Tuesday gorgeous ladies!  I just turned 50 last November so I’ve been trying different ways to use my clothes to look like a more youthful version of myself.  Age is just a number, but looking youthful often starts with the right choices in your wardrobe. One of the most impactful ways to turn back the clock is through color. The right hues can refresh your appearance, enhance your natural glow, and even lift your spirits. Here are five age-defying color combinations I’ve been using lately and suggesting to my clients that will help you look up to 10 years younger:

5 AGE DEFYING COLOR COMBINATIONS:

1

A FUN BRIGHT COLOR PAIRED WITH WHITE AND GOLD ACCESSORIES:

The first of five color combinations that can help you achieve a more youthful look involves styling a bright, bold color with white and gold accessories. To create a harmonious and flattering ensemble, we want to avoid high-contrast shades. Instead of pairing this dress with black shoes and a handbag, I chose softer, more neutral shades of white and gold. This approach allows the vibrant shade of the dress to stand out while being beautifully complemented by the smooth, elegant tones of white and gold. This maxi dress has quickly become one of my favorite finds, and it’s hard to believe it’s under $100! I wear an XS, and it fits true to size.

ALL BLACK TOPPED WITH A CAMEL JACKET:

An all-black ensemble, when paired with a camel jacket, always exudes a youthful vibe. The neutral color of the jacket, in contrast to a darker shade, casts fewer shadows against the face, which helps brighten your complexion. Since black is incredibly slimming, it serves as an excellent base layer for this look. Furthermore, this camel jacket from Nocturne not only has an amazing fit but is also on major sale right now for under $80, making it an ideal choice for fall! I wear a size XS, and it fits true to size.

CHOCOLATE BROWN + WHITE ACCESSORIES:

Chocolate brown and white is next on my list of 5 color combinations to help you look younger! Brown is much softer and looks less harsh than a true black would against my skin. Adding white and gold touches creates a subtle contrast that’s much more pleasing to the eye than a jarring black would be. This amazing brown dress has an impeccable fit and once again this price point is so good! I wear an XS in this perfect fall dress.

HEAD TO TOE ALL WHITE:

You can never go wrong with a monochrome look and all-white is incredibly youthful IMO! I always feel so chic and polished in an all-white ensemble and adding gold touches here and there is simply the icing on the cake. This dress is so slimming and flattering, the material is breathable and it has a price tag under $90. I styled it with one of my closet staples, my Veronica Beard blazer with gold buttons. I wear an XS in the dress and a size 00 in the blazer.

CHARCOAL GRAY AND IVORY:

Last but not least on my list of 5 color combinations to help you look younger is charcoal gray and ivory. This is a lower contrast color combo compared to black and white and this neutral color combo is less harsh against my skin tone. Be sure to choose a grey shade that compliments the undertone of your skin, whether that’s warmer or cooler. I own this skirt in 3 different washes, it’s just that good, and if you use code WEARNOW you can get this stunning white skirt for under $100! I’m wearing a size 24 and it fits true to size.
