Popular theory on the most slimming fashion style debunked in new study
A new study by the National Yunlin University of Science and Technology found that horizontal pencil stripes can make the wearer appear slimmer, debunking the long-held myth that horizontal stripes make the body look short and fat. The study's findings indicate that the slimming effect is influenced by stripe direction, type, and spacing.
Researchers from the National Yunlin University of Science and Technology conducted a study to determine the slimming effect of striped clothing. The study involved 241 respondents evaluating a female model's body image in various striped dresses. The findings showed that horizontal pencil stripes can create a slimming effect, but the effect diminishes as stripe spacing increases. The study also found that not all vertical stripes are bad for the body, with equidistant vertical stripes making the figure look slimmer. The researchers concluded that fabric patterns can significantly affect the perceived overall appearance of clothing.
