Shape

Shape is the relationship between parts of an outfit that the eye reads as one whole: jacket length against leg, shoulder width against waist. No single garment owns it.

What to notice

Start at the endpoint: where does the outer layer end? Then ask what makes everything beneath read longer or shorter.
