Common mistakes
线条 is a general term for lines in art, contours, or abstract outlines; it is not used for a line of text or a queue, where 行 (háng) or 排 (pái) should be used.
Formality
In everyday speech, describing physical contours of objects (e.g., a car's design) may use 线条, but in very informal contexts, 样 (yàng) or 型 (xíng) can appear; 线条 remains neutral to slightly formal.
