YOU ARE WHAT YOU WEAR

People often judge you by your appearance.  Since people tend to wear clothes they like or are comfortable in, the statement "you are what you wear" carries some truth.  Your clothes give the message to people, "this is what I like."

There are many things to consider when selecting clothing. Make wise choices and you will have a wardrobe that is attractive.  Clothes look different on different people. Below find some tips on how to select clothes that are in style and right for you.

THE LINE OF YOUR CLOTHING

How a garment is put together - the seams, pleats, gathers, trims - form the "line of a garment.

Horizontal lines run across a garment, like a belt.  They attract the eye.  Bold horizontal lines can make a person look shorter or heavier than they really are.

Vertical lines run up and down the garment. Vertical lines can make you look taller and thinner.

Curved lines are easy on the eye and pleasant looking. Curved lines make a simple garment appear more flattering.

Diagonal lines run from one corner of the garment to the other. Clothes with diagonal lines can also make you appear taller.
