Have you ever thought about where a garment is making you look? Design details can draw attention to different parts of your body, the best garments draw the eyes up to the face and away from body parts we may not wish to draw attention to. For example in this top from Nordstrom, which has a wide band at the bottom which draws you attention DOWN the body to the hips – is it flattering?
Now this top is an eyes UP garment,
with it’s detail around the collar and detail free hem. This is also from Nordstrom.
Which do you think is more flattering?
The moral to this tale, be aware of where the detail on a garment is drawing your eye.
Wow. I never thought about “up” or “down” details before! Very valuable to know! Also, with the ombre trend, who would have known the order of the color shading matters?
