Fashion Tips for Shorter Men

Half of all men are below-average in height. But any man can be above-average in style. There are a number of ways for men to appear taller using their clothing and style choices. TallMenShoes.com has some of the best fashion advice for shorter men that, in addition to our Elevator Shoes, will help you stand above the rest.

Before we start with the fashion advice, the following are some simple yet often overlooked tips that can help you appear taller:

1. Maintaining good posture is key if you want to hit your maximum height potential. Remember to sit with your back straight and stand proudly with your head up high at all times. A slouched stance will only make you look shorter, not to mention insecure.

2. Keep in mind that, as a general rule, short hair works best for shorter men. Long hair tends to hide the neck and shoulders. This makes your head and body look like one body part, which doesn't help you in your quest to look taller.

And now for some shorter men's fashion tips!

Wear Vertical Stripes
Anything that elongates your height is a good thing. For example, vertical stripes in clothing can help extend the look of your shorter body.

Opt for Dark Shades and Light Fabrics
Dark colors, especially black, tend to have a slimming effect and help shorter men seem more elongated. The same principle applies to light- or medium-weight fabrics such as cotton knits, rayon and polyester. Heavier fabrics like denim, corduroy and wool, on the other hand, tend to make you look bulkier and shorter.

You should also stick to a monochrome color scheme and contrast shades. If you do mix light and dark colors, have the lighter ones on the top so they draw the eye upward, which creates the illusion of height.

A Proper Fit is Key
Remember, it's important that your clothes fit flawlessly. Looser garments can make you look stumpy, so opt for a fit that is trim rather than baggy. In terms of sweaters and T-shirts, V-necks can help make your torso look longer. Turtlenecks, on the other hand, can make you look stumpy, as they conceal your neck. If you can afford it, get a good tailor who can make everything fit the way you want.

Shirts: Short Torso, Long Sleeves
When it comes to shirts, you want the torso to be short and sleeves to be long. An untucked shirttail that hangs past the hip bones will make your legs look short and stubby. On the other hand, short sleeves create the illusion of shorter arms, which spreads to the rest of the body. Stick to long-sleeve shirts and roll up, or cuff, the sleeves if the weather gets warm.

Wear Your Pants Where?
Do not wear your pants too high or too low. High-rise jeans make your torso look shorter, while low-rise or baggy pants tend to make legs look shorter than they already are. You should wear them just above your hips at the natural waistline, which gives you the most leg line and torso. Your trousers should break on your shoes slightly more than average, which helps make your legs look longer by covering your socks properly. Finally, keep in mind that pants with no pleats or a single pleat are more flattering than multiple pleats.

Just Look Good
Remember, the key is not necessarily to look as tall you can, but to look as good as you can. The proper fit and the right styles can make you look great regardless of your height.
