{"title":"Optical Illusion Leggings","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Science of Looking Amazing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 1860s, physicist Hermann von Helmholtz discovered something fashion designers have been using ever since: vertical lines make objects appear taller and slimmer than horizontal ones. It is not a trick. It is not wishful thinking. It is optics — the way human eyes process parallel lines and translate them into perceived shape. Our Optical Illusion Leggings take that century-old scientific principle and turn it into the most flattering prints in the entire FIERCEPULSE catalog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEleven prints.
