Drape
Classic style illustration

Classic

Timeless, elegant, balanced.

Perfectly moderate and symmetrical: shoulders and hips even, a gentle waist, moderate height. Nothing extreme anywhere, which is exactly the point.

Why these pieces work

Lean into this. Symmetrical, tailored, refined. Clean lines, moderate necklines, classic fabrics like wool, silk, and cotton, understated accessories, neat hair.

Steer clear of this. Extremes of any kind: oversized, fussy, severe. Trendy chaos and heavy ornament.
