Understanding the principles of line is so important as it teaches you how to create illusions in fashion✨ It’s key when looking to accentuate the positives and minimize the negatives. 💛 Vertical lines lengthen and are the “fastest” for the eye to follow.   They create the illusion of height or length.  The eye moves quickly over them - up and down. That is why monochrome outfit lengthens - it creates one long vertical line. 🌷 Horizontal lines broaden or widen.  The eye moves more slowly over them. We naturally seek them for balance, as we’re always looking for the horizon.  Every hem (unless it’s asymmetric) is a horizontal line. Pro Tip: Avoid placing horizontal lines - like shirt hems - at the widest part of your body for the most flattering look. The right balance between the two can shape your silhouette, highlight your best features, and create a polished, intentional look. 🩵 Curved lines add volume and are the slowest for the eye to follow, as they require more movement to track. This is why they add that volume. 🎁 To learn more grab my FREE Style Guide! Link in bio on IG @justglow011 LTKFindsUnder100 LTKWatchNow LTKOver40
