Looking older

gain weight
if you have a baby face there's not really anything you can do in terms of clothes unless you're dressing like a teenager

if you're a male, lift. get wider shoulders, tone your muscles. You already have low bodyfat, you're halfway there. Don't bulk, its shit for effay.

90% of looking older is getting clothes that fit. if you try to wear effay clothes that don't fit, youll look dadcore and like a fucking jackass kid who got into daddys wardrobe.

Cut your hair short. Light fade on the sides, longer on top. Style it, don't be a faggot who lets his hair hang.

Shave your fucking face if you can't grow good facial hair. If you don't you'll look like a prepube trying to look older.

Oxfords.
Oxford cloth shirts, slim fit. learn to tailor if your body is oddly shaped. Roll up sleeves below elbow. don't let them hang there, make them wrap your forearms. Work forearms when lifting, they're one of the only muscles that show when properly clothed.


invest in some oxford shoes. I like wingtips for an intricate look, whole cut for a simple.

MATCH SHOES AND BELT
DO NOT MATCH SHOES AND SHIRT REEEEE

don't wear light blue jeans, dark colours only.
get a watch. Match it with a belt if it's leather, silver works with almost anything. Gold is a bit overdone unless you know how to match it.

Thanks a lot for the sound advice, didn't expect it to be so quick.

>>12277419
no problem bro. I dealt with this problem, I know all about it. I'm 20, can EASILY look 15 if I stop wearing fitted clothes, faking my jaw (i do some weird shit with it to make it look normal because it's fucked), matching correctly, etc.

WHY DO YOU WANT TO APPEAR OLDER?

>>12277426
Not OP but I'm fairly new to this board so excuse me, but why are you tripfagging?

>>12277426
Because i'm treated like shit by older people. I know from experience, it's not just an impression. Looking older when you're young is a blessing.

>>12277520
Use shirts, they make you look serious about your shit. I'd also recommend getting wider shoulders, it is not that difficult if you're committed.
Baby face can be harsh but it should change if you start smoking or do anything that might change your appearance (1 year of football and 3 of social smoking helped a lot)

>>12277547
Thanks.

>>12277520
Why not go to the rave wearing a shirt with a ripped off midrift that says TEEN on it and try to get pounded by all the fuzzy berghain bears. ;)

>>12277520

HOW OTHERS TREAT ONE IS LARGELY DEPENDENT ON ONE'S PERSONALITY, AND MANNERISMS, NOT ON HOW OLD, OR YOUNG, ONE SEEMS.

APPEARING OLDER WHEN YOUNG IS NOT A BLESSING, BUT A CURSE.

THE FACT THAT YOU REJECT YOUR NEOTENY, AND DESIRE ELDERLINESS, WHILST SCORNING YOUTHFULNESS, IS INDICATIVE OF YOUR CORRUPTION.

Its nice from other fronts tho, kids want to hang with you and you're still part 'of them'. Nice to bang 19 year old ass too.

>>12277716
It's the fucking worst really.

>>12277520
there isn't much you can do but be more confident . learn how to handle yourself around condescending people and forget about the age factor.

>>12277716
you don't have to look young to 'bang 19 year old ass' lmao

girls love older dudes

just have terrible genes and go bald dude, im 20 and look 32 at best

>>12277788
That's a good thing, believe me. In my experience, personnality correlates heavily in looks and you'll get much more trusted if you look older, you'll also have your shit together before your peers.

Don't start smoking just to look older/cooler

>>12277702
Idiot. Others' behaviour toward one depends on their perception of one. Both youth and old age can have advantages and disadvantages. You should maybe read some books or try to develop the ability to think independently before you put on a trip and try to school everyone around you.

don't sweat it. you'll probably be thankful for this when you get older.

Plot twist

I'm 24 and people still think I am 19 or younger. Dressing "older" doesn't do shit. Just embrace it

>>12277402
I'm 19, regularly people think I'm about 24 because I look like I'm 30 but go to uni. I've got a buzzcut but have a receding hairline and the ability to grow fairly good facial hair. If you can grow facial hair and it looks good, you will look older. I was served alcohol in restaurants when I was 17 because of this (in the US too). Carry yourself with some confidence. I can spot people that are young freshmen here at my college because they tend to look uncomfortable. Agree with the watch that anon above said. I wear either one of my Seikos or my great-grandfather's Omega Seamaster. Wearing a watch in general makes you look more mature, unless its some garbage fossil watch you asked your parents for christmas when you were 15. Dress maturely. This doesnt mean dad-like or a suit everyday, just simple clothes that fit well, like most other people have said.

Lastly, don't worry about looking young for now. I worked with young kids (8-10) this summer and sometimes people would think I'm their father. It kind of sucks, but I rarely get carded for alcohol or bars/clubs. Look youthful for as long as you can, but if you want to look more mature, thats different, most advice here is solid.

hi guys, i'm not OP but i've kind of got a similar issue where i'm a bit too young-looking and ugly

i've performed (busked) on the streets to moderate success but a guy that i compete with rakes in $200+/hr regularly. he's very attractive in a pretty standard way, with a HY and skinny jeans and everything––and i wouldn't say his act is much better or worse than mine.

basically, what i'm asking is, what can i do to look better/good/attractive/like an actual musician? i'm thinking of wearing workwear + chelseas but i dunno man

and yeah i get a lot of "are you gerard way/elliot rodgers/maisie williams"-es

>>12277402

you aren't 'older', why would you want to look old?
are you a grill?

not a vocaroo but i was ceebs recording something new (shoutouts my mum at the end)

struggling with writing and talent is a whole new thing, but i JUST quit my job yesterday and i'm forcing myself to busk and sing covers to make a living for a while––so i still need to have a "look" and all that superficial stuff

>>12279352
Good: Your singing voice sounds nice, so regular voice is probably cool and alright
Bad: Your huge brow made its appearance and assures you're probably actually uglier than the pics suggested

Consider a headband of some sort. But I don't really know how to alleviate your face.

wow, thanks for the swift response senpai. i've currently exhausted the ideas of short hair, bleach blonde hair, plucked brows, and man bun but headband sounds like a doozy

perhaps some sort of surgery to move the hair on the back of my neck to my chin so i could grow a beard? whatever, haha - thanks for the help and opinions dude, i always appreciate honesty

>>12279366
No problem. Your idea might be worth pursuing if it isn't too expensive. Get someone to photoshop on a light artist/bohemian beard/goatee beforehand though.

In fact, photoshop might be a tool to help you find the answer in general.

same boat as u OP except I'm 25. I fucking dread every damn time I meet new people wherever and the inevitable, "how old are you?" comes up. probably because I confuse them as I look younger but act more mature/well-spoken etc.

I tell them and they always have the "OH! Lol! oh my! Well I thought you were like 19! haha! wew lad!"

its annoying as shit. especially cause I don't wanna be that creepy older dude who acts like he's a teenager for high school pussy

its really crazy. looking like a high schooler but my mind is a full fledged adult. definitely some dissonance going on there.

He probably has a kid face because he is skinnyfat and has shitty facial structure.

Nothing will compare to Lachowski

I would just advise him to get a bigger more muscular body

>>12279310

You have weird wide set ees. Creepy a fuck. Honestly, just lift weights and lose bodyfat percentage. get a bigger body

They still treat me the same before and after I tell them my real age. If you dress appropriately (not necessarily /fa/), and behave with politeness, strength and integrity they will reciprocate. If they don't, you avoid them and find people who will. Age is not a valid complaint.

Some people give you shit for one thing, some give you shit for another. This is life. You dealt with it in primary school and you will deal with it in your retirement home.

honestly I get told I act and look a lot older than I am at work all the time. Some tips i can personally give would be Posture, eye contact. I think wearing a watch might help out, I wear one but im not sure if it has any real influence. Also being respectful and in general how you talk will have a much larger influence on how people will receive you rather than dressing well. But staying away from anything flashy and going for more timeless looks will also help you out. IE collared shirts, A nice leather jacket, leather belt, and an unoffensive undershirt. NOT necessarily dress shoes or boat shoes but not sneakers either.

Historically true advice is ALWAYS to dress your age, no matter what.

Older people wearing clothes to look younger look bad. Young people wearing clothes aren't suited to their age look equally.

Basically you try to dress older than you are it will only draw attention to how young you look. Whatever style you chose to look more mature should be contemporary to you age group.

>>12290640
Cool, now give advise for dressing in every age group

Nobody has defined what 'dressing like a youth', 'dressing like an adult' means
