Listing items in fiction
+1

What sort of criteria should I consider when listing items in fiction? For example:
He was wearing a knit cap, a flower-patterned shirt, and faded jeans.
I ordered the items from top to bottom. (That's what makes most sense to me.)
Or maybe I should order them in a way it sounds better?
He was wearing a knit cap, faded jeans, a flower-patterned shirt. (Placing the longest item in the end, makes it sound better I think.)
