Out Of The Dress Misconception, The Striped Dress Is Thinner Than The Vertical Stripes.

Cross striated clothes In fact, clothes with thin stripes and stripes are even more fat.

Many beauty ladies like to wear striped clothes to make themselves look thinner. For horizontal stripes clothing They usually avoid it, because the accepted saying is that the stripes are fat. But a recent British study shows that the theory of thin stripes is untenable. On the contrary, stripes have a good effect of modifying the figure.

Clothes that wear horizontal stripes are thinner.

According to the British report, Dr Peter Thompson of the Department of psychology of York University in England recently conducted an experiment. In the experiment, he asked more than 200 women to wear the stripes and stripes respectively, and took a total of more than 400 pictures to show the volunteers.

As a result, volunteers generally believed that the same woman felt thinner in wearing striped clothes than in striped clothes. Two different women, even though the figure is similar to the naked eye, but one wearing a striped dress and another wearing striped clothes, 53% of the volunteers believe that women wearing striped clothes are thinner than those wearing striped clothes.

"Wear Vertical striped clothing It won't make you look slimmer, and wearing striped clothes won't make you look fatter. I think it is misleading that the principles of dressing that were generally accepted before. Thompson said.

The knowledge of visual illusion is interesting.

Through similar experiments, Thompson proved that the traditional theory of "black and thin" is correct. He said, "a black circle on a white background and a white circle on a black background will show you that the black circle is smaller than the white circle."

Thompson noticed these visual illusions and the public's misjudgement of them, as early as during a trip to Italy.

When Thompson visited the temple of Hera in Italy's passtum, he saw the guidebook said that the stone pillars of the temple used the bold convex design of the middle part of the column to avoid the illusion of thinning between columns.

When Thompson was on his way to life, he found that the pillars seemed not to be thick and thick. The middle part of the column was obviously prominent, and the whole column was not straight at all.

Thompson thought that the ancient Greeks did not use the "convex belly design" to avoid visual illusions, but used other people as they had been told. Since then, Thompson has been interested in some visual illusions and recognized visual rules, and has begun his own research in this field.

　　 150 years without listening to the old saying.

Thompson said, as early as nineteenth Century, there was a German physiologist named Herman von Helmholtz, who created the Helmholtz quadrangle illusion theory named after his name, which proved that the effect of the Striped clothing was more obvious.

The square of Helmholtz is two squares of exactly the same size, with a group of vertical parallel lines and a group of parallel parallel lines. Helmholtz found that although the actual area of the two squares is equal, it appears that the area of the square is larger.

Helmholtz made use of this discovery and put forward a dress proposal for the fashion industry. In his book "physiological optics Handbook" published in 1867, Helmholtz said, "women wear striped clothes more effectively."

Thompson said, for some reason, Helmholtz's theory was gradually forgotten. On the contrary, the principle of dressing is generally accepted: wearing striped clothes is even thinner than wearing striped stripes. This principle has lasted for 150 years.

When someone asked Thompson if he suggested wearing more striped clothes to his wife, Thompson replied, "my wife is in pretty good shape. She doesn't need to use these little tricks to make herself look thin."
