Style advice for short men.
How to dress a man with a short body and what are the best clothes to suit a short man?
A short body type for men is defined as a height under 5'6".
Here are my top tips for dressing shorter men.
Firstly a good fit is essential, if a garment doesn't fit well and feels too big then don't wear it. This will only make you look shorter.
If you are a man who is very short then buying clothes off the peg can be a nightmare, but most garments can be altered relatively cheaply so do bear that in mind when shopping.
What to wear if you are a short man.
Dressing from head to toe in the same colour tones elongates your body and so makes you appear taller.
If you are a short heavy set man then this will also make you appear slimmer.
Jackets and blazers should sit slightly below your buttocks and should have narrow lapels, one button jackets help to make the body appear longer.
Wear slim ties, these look better on a short man.
Wear trousers with a low rise as this will make your legs look longer.
Vertical stripes on shirt, trousers and suits will elongate your body and will also be slimming for a heavy set short man, horizontal stripes can make you appear wider and add weight to small frame.
V neck tops will add length to your body and will make your neck look longer.
Slim jeans will make you appear taller, and will lengthen your legs visually.
Coats should be mid thigh length, anything longer will make you appear shorter.
Stay away from large prints & patterns, small patterns and prints are far better suited to shorter body types.
What clothes should short men should avoid wearing?
Avoid loose fitting garments or anything that looks too big.
Avoid big, bold patterns on clothing and accessories, wear small prints that will flatter your size.
Avoid high rise trousers, they will make you appear even shorter and make your body look out of proportion.
Avoid wide ties, wear narrow ties.
