Binning certain clothes can help you “look ten years younger”, according to one expert.
Tamsen Fadal is an award-winning writer and menopause advocate who enjoys giving life advice on social media to help women become more confident and successful.
On her TikTok account @tamsenfadal, Tamsen has revealed which clothes it may be time to throw away, as certain styles that were popular years ago can now be “ageing”.
In her video, Tamsen said: “I don’t love rules, you know that, but I do like to know what works as I get older, so here we go.”
She first began her video by putting out a disclaimer that it was important that everyone watching was on the “same page about the power of clothes”.

Tamsen explained: “Clothes are an expression of who you are. You should always be true to yourself when you get dressed.”
She added: “But there are certain styling choices that I have found are helping me out these days.”
The first item of clothing Tamsen has said to throw out of your closet is anything with oversized prints, which Tamsen said you will find on blouses and maxi dresses.
Tamsen said: “Oversized prints, they can be hard. Instead of those, keep an eye out for the smaller prints that can help take 10 years off your age I think in some cases.
“You don’t have to break the bank, you can find these anywhere, from thrift stores to department stores, I love sales.”
Next, Tamsen said that it was time to dispose of your “dated jeans”.
She said: “We all have that pair of jeans that is ten or 20 years too old that we’re still hanging onto because we’re still going to get into them, get rid of them!”
Tamsen explained: “No mum jeans, no weird crops, just take yourself on a date one day to a department store, shut the door and try on as many jeans as you can until you find the one that flatters your shape.”
She said it was time to find jeans “you feel good about” and that “you don’t have to adjust too much”.
Tamsen said: “You need to be comfortable and you deserve great-looking jeans.”
Tamsen’s “last but not least” article of clothing to ditch was anything that is a boxy fit.
She explained: “Great style is about propositions, and you deserve clothes that create a flattering shape and highlight your best propositions.”
Tamsen added that it was common for women to “opt for clothes that make the waist look smaller and the hips and bust look bigger” but you do not need to find clothes styled this way if you do not want to.
She said: “The best thing to do is make sure it works for you.”
People in Tamsen’s video comment section praised her for her helpful advice, with one person praising the writer for her “great tips”.
One woman said: “This gave me the kick I needed to throw away a boxy dress I was debating about, thank you so much!”
Somebody else wrote: “I totally agree, I have gotten rid of all my prints and I am reinventing my style.”
Another woman had a piece of advice for anyone looking to buy new jeans. They said: “Judy Blue Jeans are the best I have found for comfort & style… second would be jeans from Chicos.”
