Outer design lines are determined by your physical silhouette, thus coordinating with clothing silhouettes that are the most flattering. This refers to the shapes of your garments because they need to fit your body.
Your inner design lines are determined by the size and characteristics of your facial features and hair, etc. Thus you will wear accessories that repeat your physical geometry. So your dominant type might determine your outer lines and your secondary your inner lines, or vice versa.

"Other season types move into Winter expression as their hair turns gray or white, and they find they can express themselves more effectively by adopting a dramatic styling. For instance, when a Summer type with pink and white skin becomes white-haired and continues to wear soft blues, pinks, pastel lavenders, the results may not be as chic as a change to the rich purplish blues and deep lavenders so flattering to Winter. She might also employ pearl gray with deep magenta as an accent, or bottle green with crisp white." Suzanne Caygill
