Our brains tend towards perceiving symmetry as the standard (of beauty). You only have to think of news stories such as 'what makes the most beautiful woman according to science'; such articles refer time and time again to the degree of symmetry in someone's face.
Symmetry is also very important in art and it can also be found in our wardrobes. Clothes are invariably designed to be symmetrical, and this is precisely why an asymmetrical garment is the ideal choice for attracting attention to your outfit. Asymmetry lends a cool and edgy aspect to your look without stepping out of your comfort zone right away. You give the impression of not feeling like you have to conform to the norm, but that you dare to take risks.
Ginger
This top is the ideal starting point for anyone daring to try the asymmetry trend. With its simple tube sleeves and concealed shoulder closure, this blouse is the epitome of elegant simplicity. Its asymmetrical ruching instantly adds edginess to this classic.
Chloe
With its bare shoulder, the Chloe top is the perfect eye-catcher for the tropically minded Sewista. Make this asymmetrical top even more eye-catching by finishing it with a large bow. Our style tips? Pair the top with loose trousers or add extra length and make it into a dress. Still want to wear it now? Dare to go with the layering trend.
Irene
More of a fan of timeless pieces? Then the Irene dress is certainly of interest to you! The straight model can be worn as a long or short dress. The asymmetrical button fastening down the whole dress will immediately draw the eye of every passer-by.
Miyu
You might remember our Miyu trousers from edition 2. This pattern was developed in collaboration with Fashion Museum Antwerp. The pattern is inspired by a traditional pair of hakama trousers from its collection. These trousers have wide asymmetrical legs with elegant pleats.
Robyn
This dress immediately attracts attention to its asymmetrical sleeves. With one sleeve longer than the other, Robyn is ideal to make with soft, flowing material. The dress is the ideal nonchalant piece for any day of the week. You'll be ready to go out in a flash.
Anyone can enjoy the asymmetrical trend. If you're going to try out this trend using one of our patterns, make sure you tag us on Instagram so we can see your creation!
