The quickest and easiest way to make a fashion mistake that instantly ages you is simply wearing the wrong colors.

Even if you're wearing an incredibly desirable outfit from a top Parisian fashion designer, if the color is not right for you, no amount of Chanel can save you. Instead of looking like a stylish icon such as Carrie Bradshaw, you'll resemble a less fashionable figure like Pat Butcher.

Whether you hide in too much black or wash out your skin tone with too many pastels, choosing the wrong color can make you look ten years older before you even have time to apply your lipstick.

Color analysis parties, which were popular in the 90s and attended by Bridget Jones's annoying Mum, are thankfully a thing of the past, along with Tupperware evenings and French knickers. However, knowing your best and, more importantly, worst colors is the most effective weapon in your wardrobe arsenal.

The right shades will give you a radiant glow comparable to the best celebrity facials, minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles (yes, it's truly transformative), and eliminate dark under-eye circles, giving the illusion of a great night's sleep—a perk that seems wasted on the young.

On the other hand, if we wear colors that don't flatter us, we can look washed out, accentuate imperfections, lose the sparkle in our eyes, and appear so unwell that we could pass as extras in a remake of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" music video.

Contrary to popular belief, our "color seasons" don't change as we age, just like our skin undertone remains the same. If you were once classified as a "summer," you will always be one. However, the specific shades within that season that suit you best may vary, so it's definitely worth revisiting or consulting a color expert to ensure that those crucial first impressions make an impact.
