So horizontal or vertical stripes?
Well the big question! You can experiment with both vertical and horizontal stripes, play around with the thickness and color of the stripes, in various outfits from sweaters to basic tees to trousers! The only thing to keep in mind is your body type. Vertical stripes can create the illusion of a taller slimmer body (than you actually are) and the horizontal one creates the opposite illusion. So for a person with a short and heavy body type can ideally choose thin vertical striped outfit to create the appearance of a well balanced body.
