Beware of five clothes that make you look older than you are.

Fashion YouTuber Shea Whitney has shared the clothes in her closet that might be secretly aging your look.

The first piece of clothing Shea advises against if you want to look young is capri pants.

“They’re out of style,” she said, adding that the pants were “very unflattering” and “they actually cut your leg off in the worst part.”

The expert said the cut of the pants makes your legs look a lot chunkier and plumper than they actually are.

In addition, the cut of the pants fools the eye into thinking that your legs are the same length as your torso.

The fashion expert then warned to stay away from Bermuda shorts, as they resemble Capri pants.

“They’re just a bizarre length,” she said.

Shea also warns against wearing bulky shoes if you want to look younger.

She said she understands that as you get older you are more prone to foot problems and recommended the Clarks brand for shoes, which are more stylish and comfortable.

“You have so many stylish shoes right now that are very, very comfortable,” she said. “And they’re wider, so you don’t really feel constrained.”

Shea’s next tip was to avoid styles meant for little girls, citing Mary Janes and hair hats as examples.

“If you wear berets in your hair, that’s for little girls,” she said.

The fashion expert said she believes big, voluminous and bold floral designs on dresses make you look older.

“I don’t really have any scientific evidence as to why,” she admitted. “I think in general big patterns aren’t really flattering.”

She then suggested that more dainty, feminine and subtle floral designs make you look a lot younger.

Shea shared five more tips on her YouTube video.
