Did you know the most flattering skirt length on older women is right below the knee, just at where the calf begins? That the right bra can hitch your breasts up higher than a 20-year-old's? That you should ditch the dark lips for pink lipstick or gloss? A new book, "How Not to Look Old," is full of these tips and dozens more:

Super long hair with a center part is aging

Lose the metal frame granny glasses and opt for colored plastic frames instead (never, ever use a chain)

Try a trendy nail color like a pretty light pink, almost white, or a dark, dark color like deep burgundy

Find a comfortable pair of heels (she suggests Cole Haan's Nike Air heels)

Author Charla Krupp was featured on the Today Show today and I collected the above tips for you guys. If I can remember others, I'll post them (ha!). The book is out now. Get it at the book store or online.
