(A feature that designers and people do not pay attention to)
[[By drawing this sketch, Leonardo Da Vinci proved the law of the proportion of body parts]]
If one day you are crossing a busy street or going to a noisy party, look at the people who pass by you, talk to you, or walk beside you and pay attention to the clothes they wear, the colors and the styles they choose, you will find that in many cases, although a lot of money has been spent on clothes, they do not fit the person at all. Although that outfit could be the latest fashion of the year. But why?
The most important reason that can be mentioned is that most of the designs and clothes are not created based on Eastern anatomy, and the criteria and standards are taken from Western patterns. Maybe because they have researched the clothing patterns and cuts suitable for their anatomy and body, and we have been reluctantly copying the designs they have created for their people, while those designs, colors, and shapes are suitable for those people and their culture.
Have you ever been thinking why you always have problems with imported jean pants and although the waist is loose, you hardly pull them up?
The Orientals are big people who have broad shoulders and stout muscles, or so-called muscular, while the Westerners have thin, elongated, and bony bodies.
If our designers pay attention to this anatomical difference and we have innovative, creative, and research designers in our country, the first problem will be solved.
We must have a proper knowledge of our anatomy and body. If we look at our bodies with a critical eye and try to recognize and accept our flaws and beauties as they are, we can be sure that we have gone halfway. Now we should just cover the flaws by wearing the clothes we choose and pay more attention to our beauty so that our flaws are less noticeable. It requires knowing the features of lines and cuts, how to use them to divert the vision and focus on another part, that is, to create a vision error, and also to know what are the distinctive features of different colors. If we pay attention to these minor issues, we can be very well-dressed people while not spending a lot of money.
The oldest known standards of body proportions date back to two thousand years BC, which were discovered in one of the tombs of the Memphis cemetery in Egypt. According to this document, since ancient times, people have sought to find proportions between body parts. Later, Algi, Da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Du Rose completed these designs.

The human body shows a wide range of dimensions in terms of age, gender, physical conditions, and possible disabilities. The science of anthropometry is a science that was created to measure the dimensions of the human body and its movements in the surrounding space, including in clothes. The special clothing page of The House tries to guide you in choosing the right clothes by introducing the effect of designs and colors using the science of anthropometry.
