It turns out wearing an all black outfit is one of the worst things you can wear as you age, it might seem chic and slimming in theory, but it’s doing you no favours.
The pro explained: “Black can be really harsh against skin tones that get lighter and more ashy as we age and it can accentuate the hollows of the neck and the eyes.
“Ditch the all black from head-to-toe and break up up a little bit with some skin softening neutrals.”

Beiges, creams and browns looks just as timeless, but they wont have the same ageing effect.
Of course, you can still wear black, the key is breaking up the black items with lighter ones.
Dominique showed how pairing a black skirt with a white top and beige blazer instantly made her look years younger than the head-to-toe black outfit did.
“It’s a black skirt but it’s not up against my face,” she explained.

Picking the right patterns is also important if you don’t want to end up looking like your gran.
“Hard geometric lines can look really strict and ageing as well as the darker colours,” Dominique shared.
Stick to “lighter and brighter shades” if you want to wear patterns, and make sure to stick to softer silhouettes to look more youthful.
If you really want to take things up a notch, it’s time to ditch the skinny jeans – they served us all well, but the truth is they’re making you look years older than you are.
Go for a wider leg jean, or even a cuffed style to update your look.
“Just please, not too many rips or tears so you look like you’re competing with your 20-year-old daughter,” the pro joked.
Jersey t-shirts are also incredibly ageing according to the fashionista who explained, “everyone loves it because it’s comfortable but here’s the issue, it tends to stick to lumps and bulges that are poking out.”

Instead of your basic round neck t-shirt, go for a light-weight shirt with a few buttons undone to elongate your neck, making you look younger.
“You want to get away thick and you want to get away from chunky because those things will only make you appear bigger and more dated,” Dominique explained.
