There are so many fashionable prints that you can’t keep track of them all! True, the time of triumph for many of them is too fleeting. But there are drawings that do not leave the fashionable Olympus. This is a stripe on clothes!
Do you like her? I really like it! This is a classic that is always relevant. But not everyone knows how to choose the right option and combine it advantageously in their things. Let's figure out together how to do this to get a stylish and harmonious look.
How to choose striped clothes
Clothes with this fashionable print can be worn all the time. And at the same time not look monotonous! After all, stripes are different.
Such a different stripe
There is a misconception that this pattern can only be worn by thin people. But this statement is false.
Important! A print, chosen correctly, can correct many figure flaws.
This can be achieved using different pattern characteristics.
Size
Such a parameter as the size of the picture can do a lot:
- Wide the stripe will give additional volume.
- Thin visually will make the plump slimmer.
Direction
And with the help of her direction it will be possible to adjust the growth.
- Vertical drawing visually will stretch your figure. Therefore, for short female representatives such a step will help you appear taller.
Attention! The combination of a vertical direction with sufficient width visually slims the figure.
- Horizontal pattern can give additional volume the desired area. For example, wearing a striped top can visually enlarge breasts.
Color
The color of the picture plays an important role in achieving the desired effect.
- Dark coloring is possible reduce proportions.
- Svetlaya, vice versa, will increase their.
Attention! Choosing clothes based on one criterion is the wrong approach. To achieve the best result, each of the above parameters must be taken into account.
How to choose things with stripes, taking into account your figure
When choosing clothes with this pattern, you need to rely on the individual characteristics of your figure.
"Rectangle" or "pear"
For representatives of the “rectangle” or “pear” body type, who have an unpronounced upper part, it is important add volume to the chest and shoulders. To do this, choose upper with wide, bright, transverse stripes of a contrasting color.
"Inverted triangle", "hourglass", "apple"
If your figure is dominated by the upper part (“inverted triangle”, “hourglass”, “apple”), you should exclude variations on straps from your wardrobe. AND choose a thin, often positioned option with a vertical direction.
Universal diagonal
An alternative choice for any body type would be the diagonal. Depending on her appearance, she will help elongate the silhouette or make it less voluminous.
Important! If one part of the figure dominates, it can be corrected using the diagonal.
If you want to emphasize or visually change one part of the body (hips or chest), use products with suitable qualities. At the same time, complement it with a monochromatic companion item.
Rules for combinations with striped clothes
To look elegant and not ridiculous, you need to follow a few simple rules:
- There shouldn’t be too much print in one look.. It is best if one main element of the suit is striped (skirt, top, jacket, trousers).
Reference. A similar pattern on the top and bottom of the outfit is permissible only if they are of different types.
- Combine stripes and other prints (polka dots, diamonds, checks) with special care. If you are not sure about the harmony of your appearance, it is better to choose monochromatic item.
- For items that require complementing with others (skirt, top, trousers, jacket), you should choose colors carefully. It is desirable that this be a discreet version of a combination of two colors: white and blue, black and white, and so on.
- Another rule when choosing a striped outfit is the exact selection of the “neighborhood”. It will depend on the location of the strip: top or bottom.
Combination options
Let's look at examples with both variations.
Selecting the bottom
The most effective combination is obtained by complementing the top with such a print with a plain bottom. This option looks best with jeans.
This outfit would be perfect for shopping, walking or informal meetings.
If you want to receive business suit, combine a classic pencil skirt with a vest jumper.
For lovers of bright colors, it is quite appropriate to combine such a top with bright bottom, subject to muted colors.
Attention! To effectively complement multi-colored clothing, choose a bottom that matches one of the stripes.
Looking for a suitable top
Sometimes a woman needs to adjust the lower part of her look. For this, it is quite appropriate to use striped trousers or a skirt.
In order to lengthen your legs and make them slimmer, wear trousers with a thin longitudinal stripe, complementing them with a plain top.
If you wear a black and white pencil skirt with a horizontal pattern and a white blouse, you can give the hips additional volume and make the silhouette more feminine.
It is better to combine striped items with plain items. But for bold and bright solutions, you can also choose variations with prints.
