Straight out of the 50s, the midi skirt , rehabilitated by fashion designers, has become in a few seasons one of the most popular fashion pieces by fashionistas. Yet, with its length below the knee, it cuts the calf and the silhouette without a state of mind, making it slightly dangerous. To not look like your grandmother, combine it with resolutely modern pieces, while taking care to balance the proportions.

Poetic, light, romantic: the Victorian shirt made a noticeable return in the female wardrobe. Small flat: with its accumulation of lace, its flying frills and high collar, it can quickly give us the look of a woman out of another time. To adopt it without being mistaken, combine it with a leather skirt to break its too-wise side.

If your frame glasses remind you of your grandmother's, that's normal. The more airy the model is, the more it ages the face, the fault of the tendency of thick mounts which has reduced to nothing its alter-ego. To modernize its look, therefore prefer thick and rounded frames, right in the air.

At the mere mention of the word "tailor", many visualize the legendary tailor Chanel, height of elegance to the French. However, if the model Chanel is dreaming, the tailor can also quickly make dadame. The solution ? Rather than wear it in total look, opt for one of the tailor's two pieces and pair it with more casual pieces like a message t-shirt or sneakers. And if the dress code of your open-space requires the wearing of formal wear, favor models with straight cuts, plain or fine scratches.

At fifteen, XXL flower necklaces still pass. But try to wear it a few years later and you will see that the effect is not at all, but then not at all, the same. Rather than sublimate your outfit and rejuvenate you, it causes the opposite effect. Swap them for fine and delicate jewelry , much more sophisticated.
- Vintage clothes
If fashion is an eternal start, this does not mean that it is acceptable to go out in total 80's look, which would have the unique consequence of making you look older (and disguised). So banish the vintage total-look and prefer to combine your retro finds with timeless basics for a bluffing look of efficiency.

If, contrary to popular belief, the waist-high trousers befits all body types, it has an unfortunate tendency to age its owner a few years. Why not trade his high-waisted jeans for straight-legged pants, with which you are certain not to commit odd fashion.

If the necklace or rather the pearl necklace will forever be the emblem of Coco Chanel style, wearing it everyday is not without risks. Inherited from the neo-bourgeois wardrobe, it can easily adorn our silhouette with an unflattering "old-fashioned" touch. It is therefore used in second degree mode, for example to assuage a silhouette with rock or masculine tones.
- The cardigan

At first glance, the vest seems to be the ideal piece to be layered with its everyday clothes. But looking closer, his slender side focuses on curves and gives an old look unwanted to its owner. Prefer a structured jacket or blazer with a more modern look.
- A monogrammed handbag
You hesitate to bring out this old monogrammed handbag that hangs at the bottom of your dressing room for years? Better to drop the idea unless you want to win a few years. Prefer a more modern bag like a sling bag or a discreet bucket bag.
