Abstract
The purpose of study is to clarify the difference of impressions between stripe patterns and worn stripe skirts and which elements act on impressions. From 185 striped clothes from fashion magazines, 16 representative patterns were picked up. Printed stripe patterns and photographs of worn skirts were evaluated by young participants. Formality, originality, and lightness were extracted. Although there was little difference of impressions between patterns and worn skirts in formality, originality and lightness revealed some difference. Formality was determined interactively by many design elements. Narrow stripe seemed novel, but wide stripe and colorful stripe were seen as original in skirts. Though many elements of stripe affected lightness of the patterns, only color was crucial to lightness impression of worn skirt.
