Making sense of style system categories

Jackor

Two style guides in our reading group use the same labels in different ways. The first approach asks for dimensions, whereas the second relies more on visual interpretation. My priority is to discuss the rules without turning the meeting into personal assessments. I noted a resource about color and body type analysis among the references we might examine. For each term, I would write down its definition and the evidence the author asks for. Another useful question is whether the same person receives a different label in different outfits. That should reveal where a system describes clothes and where it makes claims about bodies. We will use the same questions for both books, and record disagreements rather than assume that matching labels always mean matching ideas. Which borderline example would you use to compare two systems fairly? Please explain the definitions involved so the comparison does not depend on knowing the books.
