Illustrated field study

Build the look

Three decisions, then a wear test.

  1. 01

    Set the base

    Start with sage sweatshirt and navy trousers. Keep this layer comfortable enough to wear for the whole plan.

  2. 02

    Make it readable

    Add paired green oval panels around a dark vertical center as the clearest clue. Let that single shape do more work than several small props.

  3. 03

    Finish, then test

    Use small cream stitch marks distributed around both forms to complete the idea. View every garment at three distances, then fold, sit, and reach; the imagery must be a soft, invented visual interpretation with no glass, slide, liquid, live sample, sharp tool, face lens, diagnostic claim, or promise of scientific scale.
