"Have a fashion crisis that needs solving? Our editors are here to answer all your burning style questions. Tell us about your wardrobe woes, and read on for this week's advice!\n\n Twenty-one-year-old Liz D. of Oregon writes: \"At 4'11\", I'm pretty short and tired of being seen as a kid. I want to be treated like the 21-year-old adult I am, but I don't want to look conservative or plain. How can I dress maturely while still experimenting with fashion?\"\n\n First of all, we so get it. [Editor's note: I'm just barely five feet myself, and with the face of a high school freshman.] Even if you're someone with a little more height, your early twenties are a totally transitional time. You may still look like your teenage self, but have a full-time adult job! If you feel like people perceive you as younger than you are, you can either embrace it (wear those plastic bracelets you love and get carded at R-rated movies with pride because, honestly, whatever) or try out a more mature look.\n\n We're going to call this elevated aesthetic \"polished\"\u2014but trust us: It need not be boring. The key here is picking streamlined pieces (with a little kick!) and accessories that stand out but don't overwhelm. In other words, you'll need to resist the urge to power clash and jewelry stack.
