Flattering fabrics and textures Eyes: Eyes that have heavy texture have various colors and designs, scompared to eyes that have fewer colors and designs. Wear multi-colored clothing which creates visual texture. Deep dark eyes or clear one-colored eyes require fewer colors and smoother fabric compared to hazel eyes.Bone structure: With a larger, angular, sturdy body structure, you can wear firmer, larger heavier prints, corduroy, or brocade, for example.If you have a slight, elongated ectomorphic body structure, you’ll look best dressed in smooth fabrics such as jersey, soft wools, silk or satin. Also, wear one or two colors with simplicity.Height: A taller, heavier body structure over 5’7 can wear heavier dramatic textures such as color-speckled tweed. These women also can wear unusual combinations of textures and fabrics. Gold lamé or cashmere will be elegant on a tall, slender woman. Short women look better in lightweight fabrics because heavy fabric will overwhelm them. Lighter, smoother fabrics will flatter them. They can wear one texture overall or similar textures in the same outfit.advertisementAge: Mature women will often have facial “lines of grace” that can successfully wear heavier textured fabric and heavier prints. Heavy bold fabrics like herringbone or brocade suit a mature image. If you want to add some power to your image, wear touches of hefty fabric. Light fabrics such as combed cotton or rayon, and more casual fabrics such as denim or poplin, have a young appeal and flatter the smoother younger skin.Occasion: Fabric must suit the occasion as well as the wearer. Formal textures are those at the opposite end of the fabric spectrum. The more a fabric reflects light, as do taffeta and lamé, the more appropriate it is for formal wear. Casual textures absorb light, so heavy, unrefined and rough fabrics are your best bets for relaxed get-togethers. Formal fabrics include brocade, chiffon, faille, moiré, lamé, satin, voile, and taffeta. For semi-formal occasions, pick mohair, silk, Ultrasuede, wool, wool crepe, or matte jersey. If the party calls for a sporty look, try leather; challis, crepe, flannel or corduroy. The most casual of looks demand denim, seersucker, terry cloth, poplin, gauze, velour and pongee.
