How to Look Fashionable & Age Appropriate in Your 20s

Thdress://Whether you're a man or woman, when it comes to fashion, your 20s are about evolving from those experimental teenage years to establishing your independence in your personal style. A few essential additions to your wardrobe can help you achieve an age appropriate, sophisticated and fashionable style to your look. Growing your style-sense doesn't require a complete overhaul of your closet or require that you dress older than you are.
Office Style

·                                 1

Embrace your youth and impress them with your style by mixing a tapered, well tailored, dark neutral suit -- charcoal gray or black -- for either men or women. Combine your classic suit with your more trendy pieces such as a button-down, shoes, and hats for guys or statement jewelry for women.

·                                 2

Wear the dark tapered trousers of your suit with a bold-patterned, brightly colored button-down shirt. Woman should button the shirt to the collar and add a pair of vibrantly colored pointed-toe stilettos to draw out one of the colors in the shirt. Men, wear your bold-patterened button-down -- paisley is a playful choice -- with a plaid or striped tie in matching colors and oxfords on your feet.

Use your suit blazer with a pair of dark slim-fit jeans, a tissue-soft V-neck T-shirt and a pair of lace-up, suede oxfords. Women, add in some statement jewelry such as a cocktail ring or bright beaded big necklace with a ribbon tie. Men, add a chunky watch and be sure to put a wide-cuff on the jeans. These components are playful and highlight your young energy without compromising your professional polish.

Evening Outfits

Trade in your super tight party dress from college for a figure flattering little black dress for an evening out. Men can get away with dark denim at night. Add a couple of stylish components to spruce them up.

·                                 5

Wear a sleeveless, belted, black sheath dress that is about mid-thigh length. Add your pointed toe heels and an envelope clutch that has sassy detailing such as leopard print, studs or bright patent leather. Men should add a light, fitted sweater and a pair of desert boots or dark canvas shoes for a chic night look.

·                                 6

Try a bold lipstick such as fuchsia, tangerine or red-orange with an otherwise neutral make-up palate. This makeup style is high-fashion without trying too hard, being too done-up or overly trendy. This is the sweet-spot you're looking to hit with every outfit. Guys can add a pop of style to their outift by adding a plaid newsboy cap.

Casual-cool Outfits

Show effective style sense by mixing the fashionable components you've aquired even when you're dressing down for daytime activities. A well-coordinated outfit is the definition of style whether it's for a big presentation or a trip to the grocery store.

·                                 8

Combine your suit blazer, V-neck and Oxfords with a pair of shorts you already own -- something a bit longer such as chinos, cargos or bermuda style shorts will be better balanced with the blazer. This outfit is unisex.

·                                 9

Swap out your lace-up shoes, ladies, for your slip-on pumps with the same outfit for an instant casual night-time look. Throw your statement jewelry and bold lipstick into the mix to take your style statement up another notch. Men should swap out their shorts and Oxfords for a pair of utilitarian style pants such as cargos and boots for evening. Being young and stylish is not about being stuffy or conservative, it's about wearing individual pieces that reflect your personality, show off your youth and complement the outfit as a whole.
