Research on textile examples

  In the research I found the male's cloth that has the feminine characteristic usually include the textiles that would normally occur on women clothing like flowers, colorful stripes and complex embroidery.  For the first one, the dress on David Bowie has the large blue flower pattern that looks very soft and beautiful and has a mild contrast with the creamy background color of the fabric. This kind of combination does not usually occur on men's clothing. The second one is a jacket with a thin waist and very complex embroidery on the cuffs and the placket. This kind of complex embroidery usually occurs on the mid century clothing and it looks very sumptuous. The last one has the thin golden stripes on both the top and the shorts. The color choice of the top and the shorts has a very nice contrast although they both has golden stripes.
