The Elves were the fairest creatures in Arda, a far more beautiful race than Men, and generally tall (seldom less than six feet for elf women, no less than six and a half feet for elfmen). Among them, those who had gone to Valinor were the fairest and had the greatest skill of body. Elves had keener senses than Men.
They are very similar to us but just slightly taller, thinner, and more beautiful. The Elves, as they are depicted in the Lord of the Rings and Silmarillion, look very much like they are described in Norse mythology.
In Germanic and other European folklore elves are also recounted as being luminous people with fair complexions, sometimes known as “the white people”. They often have light hair and blue or grey eyes. In many accounts females were beautiful humans while male elves are described as looking like old, haggled men.
Tolkien describes elves as "tall, fair of skin and grey-eyed, though their locks were dark, save in the golden house of Finarfin." The Vanyar were called "The Fair" for their golden hair.
Elves have no body hair because their skin have no pores, it's because they are to be the image of perfection, resulting in no bear, no chest hair, no hair besides the head, since their skins don't have pores, they don't sweat, don't have pinples or anything like that, also, their skin is resistant to harsh ...

Everyone is going to have a different answer but, for elves, I assume this: The human equivalent is x5 up to 'mid-twenties' bracket. So, a '16yo' is 80 years while a '24yo' is 120 years. After that, the aging process essentially stops.

Elves undergo a roughly one-year pregnancy in Tolkien's legendarium. At one year old, elves are able to walk, talk, and dance. They reach puberty and reach their full height between the ages of fifty and one hundred, at which point their bodily aging ceases.
How do elves in the Lord of the Rings reproduce? Elves have sexual intercourse, just as we do. This, by the way, is why Elves and Men can reproduce and have fertile Half-Elven offspring.
Their hair colour varied; but the basic rules were that the Noldor generally had dark hair (brown or black), the Vanyar golden, and the Teleri silver or dark. Their eyes are usually described as grey or blue.
Longevity: Elves are extremely long-lived with nearly infinite lifespans. Some elves are known to have lived for more than a thousand years without signs of aging or frailty. Natural magic proficiency: One defining trait of elves is their large mana reserves, which may be related to their long lifespans.
If you accidentally touch your elf, they could lose their magic and be unable to fly to the North Pole. Luckily, Santa's thought of everything, so restoring the magic is simple. Here's what to do if your Scout Elf has lost its magic. What else can Christmas magic do?

Despite their youthful appearance, older Elves have vast wisdom and experience, which sometimes makes them appear older in demeanor.
Saint Nicholas as an elf
In the 1823 poem A Visit from St. Nicholas (commonly known as 'Twas the Night Before Christmas), often attributed to Clement Clarke Moore, Santa Claus himself is described in line 45: "He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf".
IIRC Cirdan is the oldest known elf. It's possible (though unlikely) that he might have not been the oldest elf of his people despite being their leader.
As some of you may know, Elf means eleven in German. I've always had a close connection to the number. It's also the name of my first violin concerto… “
Young teens, perhaps into mid-twenties.
Since Elves reach physical maturity at about the same age as humans, there is some wiggle room. Because they live vastly longer than humans, perhaps about the same age is relative to that longer life.
Elves are immortal but can be killed in battle, in which case they go to the Halls of Mandos in Aman for an afterlife. They may be restored by the Will of the Valar, and then go to live with the Valar in Valinor, like an Earthly Paradise, though just being in the place does not confer immortality, as Men supposed.
Luthien was called both an elf-maid and elf-maiden. Morwen (mother of Turin), although human, had an epithet Eledhwen which meant "elf-maiden". Galadriel is called the Elf-lady once. Sam's daughter Elanor was said to look more like an elf-maid than a hobbit.
