'It looks sloppy!' Ditch trendy piece of clothing that adds years to your appearance

Baggy clothes have become more fashionable in recent years, with oversized T-shirts and loose trousers making their way onto more and more runways.

However, choosing this look will not be flattering for many mature women, according to design manager at Hockerty Teresa Fernández.

She said: "Baggy clothes often look sloppy. As we get older, two common style missteps are ignoring fit and playing it too safe. Wearing clothes that don't fit well can ruin even the nicest outfit.

"Made-to-measure pieces ensure a perfect fit. Also, don't be afraid to add some bold colours or patterns to keep your look fresh."

The expert urged women to think about the colours and shades they choose as well.

Bold colours and patterns can add a welcome boost to your look, whereas dull shades can make you appear older than your years and fade into the background.

The expert added: "Dull colours [should be avoided]. Brighten your look with lively shades. Style should be fun and reflect the real you."

Another way to turn back to the clock is to use accessories effectively when putting together an outfit.

An expert encouraged women to add a "statement" accessory to any outfit to look years younger and define bone structure.

Wearing glasses that suit your face can be incredibly flexible, and those who do not need a prescription can achieve this look with sunglasses.

Vintage fashion expert and owner of Modes and More Susie Nelson told GB News: "Use glasses as a statement accessory, be they reading, prescription or sunglasses.
