Brb tossing out any horizontal stripes I have left from my closet.
Wait what about flannel? The stripes are perpendicular, so would they cancel each other out?๐ค
Horizontal lines are known to do that but I think the photos aren't equivalent either way. If you cover the dress up or shoulders down, the middle one has a bigger gap between her legs and wider face without being able to see the stripes from what I see.
Loading it into an editor she has about an inch less per hip in the diagonal picture. Its pretty significant.
Ah I see it now. You can also tell by looking at the gap differences between her waist and arms.
The horizontal stripes look the best...
Horizontal stripes actually look great on a skinny person. Or any person, if the pattern is good by itself โ while these black/white stripes aren't really a shining example of that (though they would work on a twig-shaped heroine in a 60s French new-wave film).
Vertical stripes are typically boring imo.
Vertical:
Flannel's plaid disrupts any curves so it's pretty good for covering up bellies in particular. A big reason I'm a fan of the season of flannel (plus scarfs are nice, too).
Plaid is great in all seasons. I have many pearl snap plaid shirts ranging from thick and warm flannel to super thin beach flannel to just the cotton shirts.
