Striped shirts have another name, “sailor shirts”. The earliest origin of sailor shirts can be traced back to the Brittany region in northwest France. Sailors in the region began wearing blue and white striped shirts in the 1920s. The biggest practical function of the original sailor shirt was to quickly find someone who accidentally fell into the sea from the deck. In the 1970s and 1980s, striped shirts became completely popular and celebrities were vying for them.
The striped element has survived the test of time and is finally left. It is classic and timeless. Some people who wear stripes think that horizontal stripes make you look fatter than vertical stripes. In fact, this is a wrong understanding. Whether stripes make you look thin is not simply determined by horizontal and vertical, it will be affected by many factors. Have you noticed that most of the striped shirts you see on the market are horizontal stripes?
In 1867, a German scientist discovered an illusion phenomenon: if two identical boxes are filled with horizontal stripes and the other with vertical stripes, the horizontal stripes will look taller than the vertical stripes. Then, they conducted a human model experiment – let the three-dimensional human models wear the same clothes, some with horizontal stripes and some with vertical stripes.
This is a three-dimensional effect picture. Please cross your eyes and move the focus to the back of the picture to see the three-dimensional effect. They finally found that the model wearing vertical stripes looks fatter! The human model wearing horizontal stripes needs to be widened by 10.7% to look the same as the human model wearing vertical stripes!
For sisters who have a little fat on their bodies and want to look thinner, they should choose thinner stripes. When choosing stripes, there is an important reminder that if a girl with a slightly fat figure wants to wear stripes to look thinner, she should choose thinner stripes. Wide stripes will bring a visual sense of expansion, while thin stripes are the most slimming.
This thin stripe thinning rule is also used in the selection of vertical striped items. The same is true for thick and thin stripes. The wide striped pants look much fatter than the thin striped pants. Comprehensively considering the respective situations, whether it is horizontal stripes or vertical stripes, whether it is tops or bottoms, thin stripes are the key to slimming.
