How To Find Great Men's Fashions For Shorter Men

By:


If you are a shorter man, finding great men's fashions can be a bit of a challenge. Most men's clothing is designed to fit a man who is 5'9" or taller (although if you get much taller, you run into a different set of challenges). Knowing how to dress to make yourself look taller and leaner is critical if you are dealing with less height than you may have wanted.

One of the first things to remember is that color and pattern are critical if you are not overly tall. A large pattern can emphasize a smaller stature and can also become outdated very quickly. Neutral colors can help you look longer and slimmer and can blend the boundaries where your torso ends and your leg begins.

You want to make sure that the men's fashion pieces you choose are neutral and which will present a continuous and unified appearance. Cutting your frame up with colors and patterns that do not work together can make your torso or legs look disproportionate. This can add to the appearance that you are shorter.

Think about the fit of every piece of clothing you choose. You may think that larger clothing will help make you look bigger but the truth is that if your clothing is oversized you will end up looking even shorter than you would if your outfit is the correct size. If you choose straight legged trousers you will end up making your legs look leaner and by ensuring that your pants are tailored at the right length it will allow your clothing to flow along the entire length of your body which can again add to the impression of greater height.

There are stores and websites which cater to men who are of shorter stature. These can be great places for you to find clothing that is proportioned properly. For example, instead of just making a suit with trousers that are shorter, they will also cut the jacket so that the lapels are narrower and so that the bottom of the jacket also hits you at a more flattering point than a larger jacket may. Remember that slim fit clothing does not always mean that it is going to be proportioned properly if you have less height than you might have wished for.

The shoes you wear can also help make you appear taller. If you pick shoes with a more pointed toe rather than one which is wider or more blunt, your feet will look longer and your entire leg line will look longer as a result. This is true for both women's and men's fashion as well. This is also why it is so important to make sure that your pants are tailored at the right length since they will fall over the rear part of your shoes and add to the overall sense of height and length.

It can be difficult to find clothing if you fall outside of the norm in terms of height or weight. But by learning how to make the best of your body and dress it properly you can look your best no matter what.
