When you wake up and get dressed in the morning, the last thing you want to do is make yourself look older. Yet, certain colors have a way of adding years to our appearance without us even realizing it.
While some shades can enhance natural beauty and give you a vibrant glow, others might just make you appear more mature.
Here are the colors that may be aging you so you can steer clear (and have an excuse to give your closet a refresh).
Open up TikTok, and you'll find that neutral colors, especially beige, are totally "in" among younger generations. From camel wool coats to tan accessories, these warm hues are considered classic and refined.
However, they also have the potential to make you look older than you are. Shades like beige can wash out your complexion, giving you a flat or lifeless appearance.
To avoid getting bogged down by your own clothing, try mixing beige with bolder and richer tones, like navy or deep jewel shades.
We all know that black is generally considered the most flattering clothing color. Its darkness helps smooth out our silhouettes and hide imperfections that lighter colors, like white, would immediately call attention to.
But even though both black and gray are extremely versatile and easy to mix and match, wearing too many dark hues can create harsh contrasts and cast sharp shadows on your face that inadvertently highlight fine lines and wrinkles.
The key is to soften your outfits whenever you can by incorporating warmer tones. If you're wearing a black or gray blouse, for instance, layer a brighter cardigan or blazer on top.
Also, the type of black hue you choose does matter. Those with fairer skin tones should opt for a softer charcoal black, which results in a less jarring contrast.
Now that we're rounding the corner on spring, you may have plenty of pastel garments in your closet just waiting to be worn. Unfortunately, you might want to think again.
Even though pastels give off a fresh aesthetic, they're not always the best choice if you're going for a youthful look. The lighter tones can emphasize eye changes as you get older– such as pigmentation of the eyelids and a duller appearance of the sclera or the white part of your eye– and make your eyes appear sunken.
That's why it's advised that you stick with slightly deeper or richer tones to complement your complexion.
Finally, monochromatic outfits are also back in style, but wearing the same color from head to toe might make you look more mature.
The key to appearing youthful is being thoughtful about contrast. You can still look sleek while mixing in different shades. Pairing a cream sweater with deeper tones, like a mocha skirt or boots, will add a lot more depth.
And if you ever feel like your outfits are falling flat, remember that accessories are your best friend. A bold scarf, baseball cap, fun purse, or statement necklace will instantly help your look feel more dynamic and lively.

Of all the recent celebrity relationships, Timothée Chalamet xKylie Jenner have us sat! Her, a highly-decorated makeup and reality TV mogul, and him, an award-winning and frequently thirsted-over actor – the initials rumors seemed too far fetched! But, my longstanding suspicions were proven so terribly wrong when the duo went public with a slew of steamy kisses. Where it all took place? None other than Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour, which is equally iconic and confusing.
Since then, the couple has been seen together in public from the stands at Coco Gauff's US Open Finals game to a Saturday Night Live afterparty, and the 2024 Golden Globes. Though I love relishing in this pair's love, I can't help but wonder: How did this unlikely couple come together? What exactly led up to the hard launch?
Well, question no more – below, a comprehensive timeline of Timothée and Kylie’s relationship, which some are calling a “hot romance,” and others deeming it more “fun and uncomplicated."
They’re so in love pic.twitter.com/HCjOgkcJxM

After being very supportive throughout the run for A Complete Unknown, Kylie Jenner joined Timothée Chalamet at the 2025 Oscars. And not only did they celebrate Timmy's role as Bob Dylan, but they got very up close and personal with some serious PDA.

Timothée and Kylie attended the 81st Golden Globes (their first awards show as a couple) on January 7. Timmy was nominated for Best Leading Actor in a Musical or Comedy for his role in the chart-toppingWonka. The two didn't step out together on the red carpet, but Kylie was there to support Timothée during the rest of the ceremony.
The pair was spotted getting real comfortable together, even sharing a quick kiss that ended up on screen. So cute!
Kylie and Timmy have been happy ever since. According to a source that spoke with People, Kylie has confidently declared Timothée as her boyfriend.
The pair is "incredibly happy" as they both show support to one another's careers and endeavors.
“He is very supportive of her career and she of his,” the source said. “They both try to attend important events for each other.”
The inside source also noted that Timothée is “in awe of everything [Kylie] is accomplishing” and “especially thinks she is an amazing mom.” So sweet!
In November, Timothée hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live alongside musical guest boygenius. While fans expected to see Kylie in the audience, she actually joined him for the afterparty to celebrate his performance.

All of that brings us to Labor Day 2023, when Timmy and Kylie popped up extremely publicly at the Beyoncé concert. This was the first time we saw some PDA from the two, and it sent the internet into a spiral.
Many a social media post was made, documenting the couple’s kissing and hugging escapades in a VIP area.

The weekend after the concert, Timmy and Kylie were spotted sitting in the stands at the US Open Finals in New York. Pictures taken of the two included shots of them with their arms around the other, them kissing, and taking pictures of each other in the stands.
Gasp!
Timothée and Kylie supposedly broke up – though sources covering the news were contradicting one another.
While Life & Stylereported their alleged breakup, TMZ dispelled the claims, with one insider affirming that “everything is cool between the two [and] they're still an item.”
Throughout the fall, their relationship remained very casual and the duo was staying out of the public eye.
The aforementioned dating rumors began after a few instances between the couple went public. First, one of Jenner’s cars was photographed parked outside of Chalamet’s home in Beverly Hills.
Later in April, the pair also allegedly grabbed tacos from a stand together in Santa Monica, enjoying them in the backseat of Jenner’s Range Rover.
At the time, an insider told Peoplethat the two were “getting to know each other.” Another told Us Weekly that they had only hung out “a couple of times” and “things [weren’t] that serious.” Despite it all, Jenner reportedly “[liked] what she [saw]” and her and Timmy had “good chemistry.”
Between April, May, and June of 2023, the couple were simply enjoying “casually seeing each other,” according to Entertainment Tonight.

Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner reportedly met for the first time in January 2023. The pair was spotted together at a John Paul Gaultier fashion show during Paris Couture Week, and their interaction was published (and subsequently amplified) by blind items outlet, Deuxmoi, via Instagram Stories.
This came not long after Jenner had made her official break with longtime boyfriend, Travis Scott. They still share two children, Stormi, 5, and Aire Webster, 1.
Yes, Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner are officially dating as of September 2023.
Timothée Chalamet is 29 years old and Kylie Jenner is 27 years old.

Audiences loved the way Greta Gerwig's Little Women brought all four March sisters to life, and Netflix's Anne with an E became so popular that when the show was canceled after season 3, 1.7 million fans signed a petition to revive the series. It all just proves that classic adaptations can make the original story even more powerful.
And the newest movie based on a book is going to be one we think about forever — and not just because of its cast. Emerald Fennell (who you'll recognize from The Crown and her work as writer & director on Satburn) is adapting Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights and Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi are leading the cast!
The book, published in 1847, continues to grip readers, and it's become the blueprint for moody complexity — just like Emerald Fennell's Promising Young Woman, which won the Oscar for Best Screenplay thanks to its scathing look at sexual assault. Well, the Em's are coming together for this new adaptation.
The first look at Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights is getting some seriously mixed reactions. The photo features a close-up image of someone (maybe Margot Robbie's) with their fingers and a few blades of grass in their mouth.
"CAN NOT WAIT," one Instagram user said, along with a couple fire emojis. But the intimate (and somewhat shocking) image also has some users asking, "what in the saltburn?"
Focus Features
It appears director Emerald Fennell and producer Margot Robbie are pushing for a theatrical release, which is why they've reportedly turned down a Netflix offer of $150 million.
Despite the fact Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said theatrical releases are "just not our business," and the company has stuck to at-home streaming instead, they did break that pattern for Knives Out: Glass Onion in 2022. The movie appeared in around 600 theaters the day before Thanksgiving, but left a week later ahead of its December 23 debut on the streamer.
Co-CEO Reed Hastings told The Hollywood Reporter that keeping the movie in theaters could have made Netflix more money, but later said they just wanted to "break through the noise" and get movie lovers excited for the film to come to Netflix.
All that to be said, Margot Robbie (whose Barbie made over $1 billion worldwide) and Emerald Fennell (whose Promising Young Woman nabbed her an Oscar win and two other nominations) know how to capture the imaginations of movie lovers everywhere. And it could definitely be in their favor to stick to a theatrical release. Stay tuned for official news on where you can watch Wuthering Heights!

The Wuthering Heights movie will be led by Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie as Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, respectively. Margot will also produce with her production company LuckyChap, which worked behind the scenes on Emerald Fennell's Saltburn and Promising Young Woman.
While some fans were initially excited about the casting, others were concerned about the fact that in the book, Heathcliff is described as "dark skinned." He also tells Nelly that, "I wish I had light hair and a fair skin, and was dressed, and behaved as well, and had a chance of being as rich as he will be!" Um, it looks like Jacob Elordi definitely has fair skin to me.
"Heathcliff is described as a dark-skinned brown man in the book and a major plot point is that he was subjected to racist abuse by his adopted family," one tweet (which has over 8 million views) says. "But yeah sure Jacob Elordi is perfect!"
Another says, "Film studios will say 'We are committed to diverse casting' and then cast Jacob Elordi to play Heathcliff, one of the more famous people of color in literature, whose race is crucial to both his character and the story."

Wuthering Heights will premiere on February 14, 2026. Happy Valentine's Day!

Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights follows the Earnshaws and the Lintons, who are living in the Yorkshire Moors in the 1880s. Their lives change forever when the Earnshaws take in Heathcliff. Like any good dramatic novel, passion lies beneath proper connections, marriages, and societal expectations — and despite Catherine and Heathcliffe's feelings for each other, they have to choose between security and love.

That's why collecting certain must-have pieces is the key to expressing your personality and completing your everyday looks! From shoes to scarves and watches to sunglasses, your 'fits just aren't the same without a little spice.
Anthropologie
From wearing them on your head to wrapping them around your neck, scarves and bandanas are statement pieces that can transform your whole appearance! Plus, they're super easy to wear.
A silky scarf can add an instant touch of refinement and luxury while retro or bohemian-inspired bandanas can bring a fun, bold twist to your personal style.
Collect a few neutral pieces, as well as patterned, colorful ones, to have options for every outfit!
Gap
Waist belts are the ultimate accessories for shaping your figure. It not only defines your waist to create a flattering silhouette, but also turns loose-fitting pieces into something that can be chic and trendy.
Since they're so versatile, waist belts can be styled in an endless amount of ways. Use them to add a pop of contrast over a dress or to cinch an oversized blazer at work.
Quince
If you've been searching for footwear that's comfortable and cute at the same time, loafers are your answer! They help add a polished touch to any outfit while still maintaining a laid-back vibe.
You can rock them with a white button-down and blue jeans for a business-casual look or pair them with a skirt and blouse to dress up without suffering in heels all night long.
Baggu
Let's be real: do you really need every little thing that's floating around in your massive purse right now?! From old gum packs to multiple tubes of chapstick, it's sometimes a bit too much.
If you opt to embrace the mini purse trend, you can leave all that extra baggage at home. They may be tiny, but they make a bold statement and are sure to become conversation-starters, especially when they feature bright colors or patterns.
Just take only what you absolutely need out of the house and enjoy feeling a bit lighter without all the clutter from purses past.
Nordstrom
One of the most timeless accessories that can instantly elevate any outfit is a classic watch. Regardless of whether you're a gold girlie or a silver girlie, find a watch that matches your typical bracelet stack and wear it with all of your looks.
Throwing on this seemingly subtle accent piece couldn't be easier – yet it will pull together any aesthetic.
Urban Outfitters
Of course, sunglasses are practical tools that help protect our eyes from harmful rays. But more than that, they're critical fashion accessories that enhance your style.
It doesn't matter if you love classic aviators or bolder styles, like cat-eyes. There are sunglasses out there that complement every face shape and vibe!
J.Crew Factory
Want to add more depth and personality to your look? You can never go wrong with layered necklaces. By experimenting with different lengths and styles, you can completely customize your vibe every single day.

Nordstrom
Lastly, a go-to hat is the perfect way to (literally) top off your outfit with a finishing touch that reflects your personal style.
If you live in a warmer climate, you may opt for a sun hat or signature baseball cap that's a neutral, versatile color. Or, in the chillier months, find a beanie that's cozy and cool to enhance your winter wardrobe.
Whatever the season or occasion, a go-to hat can truly complete a look.
