Assembling an all strip ensemble requires one basic understanding, and that is none of your stripes should be the same width!
Like you, when I get dressed each day it is with one goal in mind, and that is to look good, if by chance I receive a compliment from a stranger, I consider it a bonus. Our clothes tell an accurate story about us and our personalities, which can be quite powerful when we know how to dress for the occasion. Today we’re dealing with stripes and contrast, two important elements in mastering the art of dressing well. So, here are the bare facts, If your stripes are all of the same width, you run the risk of appearing flat and quite frankly, boring. On the other hand when your stripes are different sizes, you not only appear interesting, unique and inviting, but people gravitate to you with compliments and good wishes.
To further illustrate this point, I’ve put together a simple and straightforward little diagram below, for your amusement. PS, notice how the extra touch of elegance our round gold cuff-links brought to an all stripe stag party?
Diagram A: Squares all same sizes.=(No contrast)
Diagram B: Squares all different sizes=(contrast, depth and uniqueness)
