　　但想要穿出水准也并非易事。在此，我们为你提供一些搭配诀窍，以便你能精准无误地紧跟潮流。

　　Vertical stripes

　　竖条纹

　　If you carry most of your weight in the midsection, you belong to the apple figure. What you needare vertical stripes. They elongate and divert attention from your horizontal shape. If you are tall,but on the heavier side, choose thinner stripes. On the contrary, if you are thin, bolder stripes willmake you look a bit bigger.

　　若你肚子上有“游泳圈”，那么你属于苹果型身材。那么你适合竖条纹，它可以起到拉长身形的作用，将人们的注意力从你发福的身材上移开。如果你个子高，但体重超标，那么就选择细条纹吧!反之，如果你身材纤细，那么宽条纹就会让你看起来更加丰满。

　　Also, it would be best to stick with darker stripes, because contrasting colors add more depth.

　　暗条纹也是个绝佳之选，因为对比色会增加视觉深度。

　　Horizontal stripes

　　横条纹

　　Much like vertical stripes create an illusion of length, horizontal stripes can broaden the body. Theyare for slim women and make them look curvier, especially with bold, thick stripes. For example,wearing a shirt with a horizontal stripe across the chest or wrapping a thick belt around the hips aregood choices.

　　竖条纹可以营造出拉长身形的错觉，而横条纹则令体形看上去更加丰满。这种条纹适合身材偏瘦的女性，会让她们看起来更具曲线美，尤其是粗横条纹。比如，穿一件前襟饰有横条纹的衬衫或者系一条宽腰带都是个不错的选择。

　　For men, bold horizontal stripes also help widen the upper body and create the desirable invertedtriangle shape they usually yearn for.

　　对于男士而言，粗横条纹也能起到拓宽上半身的视觉效果，从而打造出他们向往已久的倒三角身材。

　　Diagonal stripes

　　斜条纹

　　Diagonal stripes can be worn by most figure types, but are especially suitable for plus size women,as well as tall women with boyish figures. For thin women that want to look even thinner, diagonalstripes are the right choice. Askew diagonal stripes can add to a curvy look.

　　大多数身材都可以驾驭斜条纹，尤以体态丰满的女士以及身材高大的“女汉子”最为适合。如果身材纤瘦的女士想要看起来更苗条，斜条纹是正确之选。不规则的斜条纹还能穿出玲珑有致的感觉。

　　The key to wearing this look is to think of the direction of the stripes to show off the best part sandhide the worst. For example, a skirt with the diagonal stripes coming in at the middle and pointingup to the waist will work to make your waistline look smaller.

　　驾驭这种风格的关键在于“扬长避短”。例如，选择一条纹路从中部开始，呈V字型直指腰间的斜纹裙，会让你的腰部看上去更纤细。
