I have a uniform for work so no problems there. 29 is just a weird age and to me, you do have to readdress what you wear.

I've always thought one should dress for the occasion/context first, age second. 29's not too old, my Econs tutor is 34 and looks 24. If you look and feel young, definitely flaunt it! And by that I don't mean to let things hang out, but emphasise your assets in a classy way and hide anything you don't like tastefully.

The clothes you mentioned are typical-teenager but hey, don't let the crowd it's most popular with stop you from wearing them if you find them comfortable. I'm sure you'll look gorgeous in anything.

You go girl!

I am just not sure how a typical 29 year old dresses. The ones I know either wear sports brands for leisure wear and things like that. I just don't want to appear immature but don't want to look like a granny either.

I worry about this sometimes. I'm in my twenties as well and still shop in the stores I shopped in my teens for the most part. The "older" stores seem too old, and I can't see myself dressing in those types of clothes. But then at the same time, I worry that people think I'm a teenager because of the way I dress. There needs to be more stores aimed at people our age! I feel like stores either target teenager or women 35+.
Thanks for this!

EH, it seems some woman decide to become boring once they hit the 20s. It's sad, actually.

Many People in their twenties are still trying to get comfortable with who they are. I think some are trying on the "grown-up" costume, which is likely because they're trying to break in and establish themselves in their field.

If you are trying to readdress your look, to suit you, the active leisure way, isn't the best model example. Instead of printed t shirts, substitute with short sleeve shirts and blouses. What styles inspire you, in a high fashion sense? Not saying same price tag, but looking there, is a start towards, stepping up into more ladylike looks, but without sacrificing tastes. And without sacrificing youth. Personally, your described style sounds more pleasant than gym wear.

Im 47 with my nose pierced . Always had a uniform for working (healthcare) But I wear Jeans tshirts and yes I have converse that I love and someone would have to pry them from my hands ..

For work I would say just skirts and a blouse or slacks .. you know just your basics.... not neon green or yellow. Wear what you feel comfortable in.. There is not list anywhere that says you have to wear X clothing when your hit age X ...

Just do your thing

Hey, I'm 40, although I do like to alter my birthday from 74 to 84 or 94 cause that's about how old I feel! My husband says that I'm a perpetual teenage. Oh well, you're only as old as you feel. And I say if it looks good on you, then wear it. Although, I do stay away from the shirts with animals on them, I think they look just a little too young, like elementary school for me, and i don't think anyone with any cellulite who doesn't have a professional airbrushing system to follow them around should never wear spandex, EVER! And let's admit it, unless you're a child, even the smallest of us, and I'm a size 2, we all have a little bit of cellulite, unfortunately. That s**t is so invasive! It's like ivy in a garden, once it's there, you can never get rid of it no matter how hard you try. So, be proud, go shopping with your girlfriends who will be honest with you about what looks great on you, and then, wear what you want to!
