2. Wearing clean and neat clothes makes you look and
feel good, and it helps enhance your appearance. Thus,
caring for one's clothing is essential to helping one
look better.
Clothes include dresses, shirts, pants, footwear,
headwear, and other things used to cover the

for clothes to make them look better and last

GUIDELINES FOR SELECTING CLOTHES

4. 1. Color - Select the type of clothes that make you
look and feel good with the colors that flatter your
complexion and body shape. You can check if the
color suits your skin tone by simply holding a variety
of colored fabrics near your face to see if the color
enhances your skin color.
2. Lines - Do you like to look fall or short? If you want
to look taller and slimmer, choose clothes with vertical
lines, such as stripes or shirtwaist clothes. On the
other hand, clothes with horizontal lines will make
you look short

5. 3. Texture - The texture of your clothes can also make
you look tall, short, large, or small. Fabric texture
determines how clothes feel, look, and move when
worn. Further, each texture has a different effect on
the impression it creates, such as being soft or crisp,
dull or shiny, smooth or hard.
4. Design - Small designs or prints on clothes can
make big people appear small, while big prints or
designs can make small people look big.
