As we grow older, our faces change due to genetics as well as natural causes like developing wrinkles and thinning of skin. The way people dress also plays a big part in how your face looks. For example, repeated use of heavy makeup can cause you to develop lots of dry patches of skin which show.

In addition to these external factors, things such as stress, poor sleep, or too much alcohol can have an effect on your facial structure and weight. All of these contribute to what is referred to as “stress” related aging.

There are some simple ways you can do to prevent this look of stressed out, aged individuals. Ways include doing yoga, practicing relaxation techniques, getting enough rest, and drinking less alcohol.

This article will talk about one of the most popular trends right now that can be used for both professional and personal uses – contour drawing.

Zigzag patterns

While not very popular, zigzagging or diagonal lines are making a comeback in fashion. Technically called a herringbone pattern, this shape is seen most commonly as trousers that get rolled up or shoes with pointed toes.

Many find inspiration for this design concept in nature. For example, look at the stripes of a leopard or the way some animals fur grows in repeated horizontal “zig-zag” patterns.

The classic sheering effect we refer to as razor sharp comes from the way grass grows when there is water present. That is why you often see dry, smooth edged blades of grass in areas with heavy rainfall!

Herringbones have a similar, elegant feel. When used in clothing designs, they give an air of sophistication. Because it creates natural light and dark strips, it also adds depth to your wardrobe.

Polka dots

While polka dot clothing is not new, it has become very popular once again. Gone are the days when only pregnant women could enjoy wearing lots of patterns and colors! With trends coming back in style, designers have added their touch to this classic pattern.

Many people associate the polka dot dress with 1970’s fashion, but you can find them done all over the place these days. From printed dresses to long sleeve ones, there are so many variations!

By adding some texture or pattern to an otherwise solid piece, they give your clothes more depth. This look is also perfect for fall as it is warm and cozy. Many get inspiration from nature and add leaves, plants, or other shapes and textures to match the theme.
