Many styling experts use the Golden Ratio, which is more often referred to as the Rule of Thirds, to help balance proportions between various clothing items. The Golden Ratio states that a ratio of ⅓ to ⅔ is the most visually pleasing division in everything from architecture to photography to fashion. For example, instead of wearing a blouse that is hip length paired with long slacks, the Golden Ratio recommends tucking the top in or choosing a shorter top so that your outfit is broken up into ⅓ on top and ⅔ on the bottom.
