Human beings generally don't naturally come in the idealized shapes projected by most fashion magazines.
A decent sartorial use for the optical obfuscation known as a "dazzle pattern" - a design that messes with some of the brain's mechanisms for inferring an object's size, shape and distance - would
be to put it where it would do the most good - over a beer belly or too large/small butt - to allow the viewer's mind to fill in the blanks in a hopefully more pleasing manner.
It's an extension of the fashion guidelines' "black is slimming" and "vertical/horizontal stripes are slimming/fattening".
"Does this make my butt look big ?"
"I... I can't tell."
"Good answer."
(there are some existing t-shirt dazzle-camo print patterns, but the effect isn't focused in any useful fashion)

//Human beings generally don't naturally come in the
idealized shapes projected by most fashion
magazines.// Actually, I can imagine that many men
naturally
come in the idealized shapes projected by most
fashion magazines. |

[MB] My proofreader is off this week: mental stress or accumulated vacation time or somesuch twaddle. |

II was thinking of this for zebras, as the
current pattern doesn't seem to work too well. |
|
| |
Vertical stripes seem to work well for tigers. |

Nothing that a bit of thoughtful work with a very sharp knife can't fix, shirley ? |

The "Classic Tabby" cat pattern is sortof dazzly. |

I've spent a lot of time considering the best way to
not appear fat. As far as I have been able to
discover, by dint of extensive research, the most
effective way is to be somewhere else. |
|
| |
It's not just for fat, some people complain about being too skinny, or having no ass. |
|
| |
Those people should be moderately beaten up. |
|
| |
Yes, but they do pay full fare on the transit. |
|
| |
If you really want to lose weight, go take the
overnight bus to Amsterdam without your
bank card. You will then get dumped at train
station which only takes plastic, the ensuing 2
to 3 hours hike to the city centre, with luggage,
I lost about 2kg...as too knackered to go to
restaurant, fell asleep woke up in time for the
morning flight... |
