Making sense of style system categories
I am preparing notes for a discussion of how style guides classify body proportions. The first approach asks for dimensions, whereas the second relies more on visual interpretation. I want to compare their reasoning before anyone starts typing the other participants. I noted a resource about color and body type analysis among the references we might examine. For each term, I would write down its definition and the evidence the author asks for. Another useful question is whether the same person receives a different label in different outfits. The distinction between a styling preference and a classification rule matters to the discussion. We will use the same questions for both books, and record disagreements rather than assume that matching labels always mean matching ideas. Which borderline example would you use to compare two systems fairly? It would help to state the rule explicitly before describing why the example challenges it.
