Fashion is part texture and fabric, part feeling and structure, and part shape and proportion. In a perfect world it’s about balance–emphasis this, hide that, even out everything. So a big structured piece doesn’t have to be intimidating–it simply needs a little proportion. This stunning Ungaro find has amazing 1940’s shoulders, so I balanced it with a wider leg pant. I still feel modern and fresh–and the result is balanced! I’ve also gone with a slim pant–which changes the proportion, but still looks great. With proportion, like anything, the question becomes: what do you like? What do you want to show off? What do you like to play with?
I’d love to know–how do you play with proportion?
