10 Oh-So-Wrong Fashion Myths That You Probably Follow

4.No Horizontal Stripes if You Are Not Skinny

On number 4 we have the “horizontal stripes” wrong fashion rule.

Wearing horizontal stripes makes you look wider, while wearing vertical stripes makes your body longer and slimmer, right?

Well no, that is all wrong. A perception expert at the University of New Work found that people don’t find others who wear horizontal stripes as heavier, but as thinner.

When you decide to wear horizontal stripes all it matters is choosing the right kind of stripe and silhouette for your body type.

You can also choose just one item that will be striped, and you can take the attention from the false wideness given from the stripes by adding for example, a cardigan over a striped top.

So ladies, stop avoiding stripes, and enjoy them, they are just one of the wrong fashion myths!

How about matching the bag with the shoes? Is that still in?
