The Basic Concept

Silhouette is the shape of an object, thus it is used in fashion to describe the shape of a person and the shape of clothing ON that person. For example, a thin male with slim-fitting clothing would have a slim silhouette, while one with relaxed, baggy clothing would have a baggy silhouette.

Examples

Difference between drop-crotch and normal-crotch sweatpants.

Red Wing Mocs are notorious for their large toeboxes, which tend to cause shoes to be called "clown shoes", because of the large toeboxes of clown shoes. The image below demonstates the difference between large and small toeboxes.
