Giorgio Armani on How to Be Attractive
A master of timeless fashion and understated elegance, Giorgio Armani has shaped the way women present themselves to the world for decades. His designs have always combined simplicity, sophistication, and grace. But true elegance, according to Armani, is not just about the clothes you wear, but also about how you groom yourself, how you move through life, and how you age gracefully.
As we age, we develop habits that can subtly rob us of our natural beauty and turn us into old ladies. But the good news is that with due attention, we can avoid them. Armani believes that maturity can be incredibly attractive when it reflects confidence and self-esteem. However, there are a few habits that can make even the most beautiful woman look older than her years.
Let's look at what he thinks women should avoid .
1. Grow with style
"Don't change your style, but let it evolve."
Clothes are one of the most powerful tools we have to express who we are, but they can also age us if they are not chosen correctly. Armani emphasizes that a woman’s style should evolve naturally with age, not in an attempt to look younger, but to reflect who she is at each stage of her life.
"Don't confuse elegance with excess."
Dressing too young, too trendy, or too revealing can make you look desperate. On the other hand, clinging to outdated or ill-fitting clothes can show a reluctance to move forward.
"A cheap pair of shoes is a bad economy. Don't skimp on the essentials: shoes are the foundation of your wardrobe." D. Armani
Armani's advice is to find a personal style that flatters your figure and gives you confidence. Classic, well-cut pieces that flatter your figure will never go out of style.
The key is to avoid extremes, whether they are too flashy or old-fashioned. Fashion should always be a reflection of your inner elegance, not a distraction from it.
"Don't be too hard on your clothes: the most stylish people look like they don't put any effort into their appearance. Ultimately, style is about self-expression, and I don't think anything can look truly awful on someone who is true to themselves."
2. A life of inactivity: movement keeps you young
“People say I look 20 years younger than my age; people ask me what my secret is. It’s partly heredity. My mother died at 90 and looked 65. I hope it’s the same for me. But it’s also about self-discipline: don’t stay up too late, don’t drink too much, don’t smoke. And understand yourself and treat your inner self well.”
A sedentary lifestyle is perhaps one of the fastest ways to age prematurely. Lack of movement affects not only the body, but also the spirit. When a woman neglects her physical health, it often reflects on her posture, energy, and overall appearance. According to Armani, regular physical activity, whether it’s yoga, swimming, walking, or dancing, is vital – not for the approval of others, but to maintain your own vitality.
An active lifestyle improves both your physical and mental well-being. It helps you maintain a youthful figure and sharp mind. But more than that, it radiates an energy that people can’t help but notice. When you feel good on the inside, it shines through, making you look and feel younger.
3. Neglecting Skin Care: Your Face Tells Your Story
"Elegance is not something that catches the eye, it is something that remains in the memory."
Armani understands that skin is the foundation of beauty. No matter how stunning your outfit, if your skin looks dull, tired, or neglected, it can add years to your appearance. Dry, dehydrated skin, especially around the eyes and hands, can make a woman look older than her age. It is important to take the time to care for your skin.
Armani advises regularly moisturizing your face and body, and protecting your skin from the sun's harsh rays with a good sunscreen. A simple, consistent routine—whether it's applying a night cream or gently exfoliating—keeps your skin soft, radiant, and youthful. And don't forget that even on the busiest days, your skin deserves some TLC. Self-care isn't just a luxury, it's a necessity.
Age is inevitable, but how we age is up to us.

Giorgio, your advice is greatly appreciated. I hope the men take this information about themselves more seriously as you know men do not age gracefully, unless they take care of themselves as you have suggested with regards to women. No woman wants to be with a man that looks tired and shriveled sedentary lifestyle is another no-no. Another words my father would say what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
