Flannel’s plaid disrupts any curves so it’s pretty good for covering up bellies in particular. A big reason I’m a fan of the season of flannel (plus scarfs are nice, too).
Plaid is great in all seasons. I have many pearl snap plaid shirts ranging from thick and warm flannel to super thin beach flannel to just the cotton shirts.
Horizontal lines are known to do that but I think the photos aren’t equivalent either way. If you cover the dress up or shoulders down, the middle one has a bigger gap between her legs and wider face without being able to see the stripes from what I see.
Horizontal stripes actually look great on a skinny person. Or any person, if the pattern is good by itself — while these black/white stripes aren’t really a shining example of that (though they would work on a twig-shaped heroine in a 60s French new-wave film).
Brb tossing out any horizontal stripes I have left from my closet.
Wait what about flannel? The stripes are perpendicular, so would they cancel each other out?🤔

The horizontal stripes look the best…

Ah I see it now. You can also tell by looking at the gap differences between her waist and arms.
Loading it into an editor she has about an inch less per hip in the diagonal picture. Its pretty significant.

Vertical stripes are typically boring imo.
