I’m a fashion pro – 4 items which make you look frumpy & how to dress younger instead
WHEN it comes to our appearances, none of us want to age ourselves.
Many of us aim to pick clothing and accessories that will flatter our bodies and give us a younger look.
A stylist and trend expert named Katrina Bowman, who goes by @trendingwithtrina on TikTok, said there are a few common mistakes we make when it comes to how we dress – and they’re making us look older.
In the video, which received over 150k views, Katrina offered four useful tips to help you look more youthful.
PRINTS
The first tip she offered was to avoid large prints.
In the corner of her video, she showed an example of a black caftan with large white florals.

Instead, she said to opt for smaller patterns like a cheetah print skirt.
Pairing it with a solid top will add another youthful touch.
JEANS
Her second tip addressed the kinds of jeans you purchase.
Rather than go for mid-calf or Bermuda style, Katrina said to buy a modern cut.

She wore an ankle length skinny jean with a long sleeve fitted black top as an example.
BLAZERS
When we’re looking to dress up our outfit, many of us turn to blazers.
But Katrina said to steer clear of certain styles.
“Stay away from baggy, shapeless blazers,” she warned alongside a photo of a long, frumpy black one.
Instead, choose ones with a structured, tailored look.
SHOES
Stylish shoes always add the perfect finishing touch to a look.
But Katrina said to avoid buying shoes simply for their comfort value.
Instead look for ones that pack on a one-two-punch: comfortable and trendy.
She wore suede brown ballerina slippers as an example.
Viewers were thankful for the inspo:
“What a nice look!” one person wrote.
“Thanks for the visual examples! So much better than just telling us,” added another.
