You have two fundamental options to consider when choosing between the kinds of stripes to wear: horizontal or vertical. With few exceptions, horizontal stripes are the more stylish choice. Unless you want to look like a Sesame Street character, Waldo or a jailbird, horizontal stripes can be difficult. Vertical stripes, on the other hand, do not carry many negative connotations, unless you are a Red Sox fan — in which case you’d likely avoid pinstripes.
.
Vertical stripes make you look taller, which can be great if you’re vertically challenged, but might make you look like Lurch if you’re already tall. Wearing horizontal stripes also comes with the unfortunate side effect of making overweight people look even more overweight. It’s an optical illusion of sorts, but perception is what sticks. So anyone with a few extra pounds should be extra wary of horizontal stripes.
.
If you are intent on wearing horizontal stripes, We would suggest a sweater with one or two horizontal stripes over a solid background.

Rule 2- Keep it thin
.
From this point forward, vertical stripes will be the focus, since there are exceedingly few situations when horizontal stripes will be your best bet.
.
You must determine the weight of the stripes you want. As a general guideline, keep them relatively thin. Whether horizontal or vertical, wide stripes are not stylish. Instead, We suggest sticking to stripes less than an inch in width.

Rule 3- Beware of complementary colors
