Fit, and why it decides everything

Lesson 3 of 11 in Styling.

Lesson

A cheap garment that fits photographs better than an expensive one that does not, every time. Fit is read instantly and unconsciously, and it is the single largest contributor to whether an image looks considered.

Clips at the back make the jacket fit perfectly from the front.
