Reading the silhouette
Presence is a matter of balance.
A garment can be precise without becoming rigid. A natural shoulder, controlled chest, measured waist and high-rise trouser work together only when movement remains easy.
The shoulder settles
The line from neck to sleeve should appear composed from front, profile and back.
Length carries authority
Jacket and coat length connect the torso to the trouser rather than dividing the figure.
The shoe completes the line
Rise, volume and break should resolve cleanly at the footwear.
