Structure: Grid + Direction<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Checks provide stability<br \/>\nStripes introduce movement<\/p>\n<p>This creates a layered structure.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike prints, the pattern remains after washing.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><b>2. Color Behavior: Tonal Contrast Instead of Sharp Contrast<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Usually executed in:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>indigo tones<br \/>\n\u00b7 blue-black<br \/>\n\u00b7 tonal blue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The pattern appears through structure<br \/>\nnot high color contrast.<\/p>\n<p>This improves wash performance.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><b>3.
