Wearing Vertical Lines In Clothing

LINE
There are many lines in clothing. Lines in clothing are important as they either emphasis something, draw our eye to an area and to make a person look longer or wider. There are many different types of lines.

Vertical line
A vertical line is a line that goes straight up. A vertical line has no bends or slopes in it. Vertical lines in clothing are shown in stripes, vertical fashion items and seams. In clothing a vertical line can be very helpful as it helps shorter women look taller and thinner as we follow the lines going up and down with our eyes, so therefore the woman would look slimmer and longer. When wearing stripes one has to be careful as to may stripes may look to overwhelming and stripes that are to wide may defeat the whole

As you can see the one with the line looks thinner than the one without the vertical line.

Wearing vertical stripes that are very close together also makes you look much thinner than lines that are further apart.

Horizontal line
Horizontal lines on clothing are not the best choice as horizontal lines make our eye look side to side therefore making the person look wider. Horizontal stripes/lines on clothing definitely do not work for short people as it makes them look much shorter and wider. If you are a very tall skinny person then you may get away with wearing horizontal lines on your clothing. If your clothing does happen to have horizontal lines on it make sure it is only in a small section and that it has either vertical stripes around it or a thick dark border around the horizontal lines.

Although these two dresses don’t make these girls look wider it works well because they are tall and very skinny but it is very hard to try and get horizontal lines to work. And although they don’t look wide they would like much thinner if they wore vertical lined
