The Power of Proportion

This week we talked about proportion, and it made me think about why certain trends work better for me than others. Proportion is about how parts of a design relate to each other. For example, when I wear cropped jackets with high waisted pants, it makes my legs look longer. That proportion feels more flattering on my body. But when I wear long tops with low rise jeans, it visually shortens me. As someone interested in fashion and possibly working in styling or marketing, understanding proportion is important. It helps me not only dress myself better but also understand how brands style their models to create a certain visual effect.

This outfit is very flattering and follows the rule of proportions.
