Dramatic family
Dramatic
Bold, striking, statuesque.
A long vertical line from head to toe. Shoulders are sharp and angular, often the widest point. The waist shows little definition and the hips run straight. Everything about the outline says length and edge.
Why these pieces work
Lean into this. Long, unbroken vertical lines. Sharp tailoring, strong shoulders, monochrome dressing, stiff structured fabrics, geometric details, long necklaces, sleek straight hair, bold lips.
Steer clear of this. Fussy ruffles, rounded fussy details, boxy cropped cuts that chop the vertical line, delicate tiny prints, shapeless volume.
