All fashion guru's vouch for the fact that vertical stripes make you look thinner and horizontal stripes make you look heavier. But according to recent research this fashion mantra may not be the case and in fact horizontal stripes are more flattering on people with a less than perfect physique. According to us it's the scale of the stripes that matters more than the direction. A thicker stripe even if vertical will move the eye sideways left-right and make the body area look bigger whereas sleeker/closer together horizontal stripes will make the body area look much slimmer in comparison.
Stay Away:
So if you have thicker thighs or need to look taller then you should stay away from these trousers.
Go For It:
On the other hand these trousers will for sure flatter a top heavy or inverted triangle body
shape where in the slimmer lower half needs to be balanced with a wider upper half of the body.
