Geometrical figures have a close connection with the phenomenon of optical illusion, and the effect and appearance of clothing can vary greatly according to the patterns upon it.
In the present study, a color simulator was used to examine the relationship of thickness, direction, and color in striped patterns on clothing. A factor analysis of the data obtained failed to show any direct relationship between stripe direction (vertical and horizontal) and the determination of image. It is clear that the main factors determining the image of the samples tested were the thickness and color of the stripes.
