The common thing is that everything is somewhat long or wide, but don’t worry, you can dress well and stylize your figure if you choose the ideal clothes, in addition to thinking a little more about your looks. To help you with this, here are some style tips for short men…
Don’t Wear Oversize Clothes
For some time now it has become stylize to wear oversize garments and although it is an interesting style it is not the most suitable for short men since it ends up making them look much smaller. In addition, this type of clothing plays with the dimensions and can make your legs and torso look smaller.
When you are short, the ideal is to buy clothes that fit your body better, this will create lines that delimit your width and height in a better way. Nor should it be something too tight, but it does mark your body without adding volume.
Take Care of the Length of the Garments
The length of all the garments you wear should not be too long, forgive the redundancy. If it’s a shirt, look for one that isn’t below the zipper line or pants pockets. If you want to wear a jacket, look for one that does not exceed the line of the pants pockets.
And yes, the photo is an example of how you should not dress. As many as 4 Influencers try to make it stylize.
Wear Your Pants at the Right Height
The height at which you wear the pants is very important and they should not be too low or too high. Ideally, you should find a midpoint between the navel and the hips. If you wear the pants above the navel this will make the dimensions look a little strange and it will not balance with your torso.
If you pull them down too much, known as baggy pants, it will make your legs look shorter than normal and it is usual that there is some fabric. Then your legs will look slightly larger and your torso very elongated and unbalanced.
As for color, black or navy blue jeans or pants are usually the best options to go unnoticed (they are widely used when people want to hide excess fat in that area).
The Length of the Pants
For some men, the length of the pants is a problem, sometimes they can’t find one that is the ideal length and there is always a lot of fabric left over, so you have to do some work with the seam or make folds.
If this is your case, you can fold the bottom of the pants a little, but do not exaggerate, one or two turns is ideal, too many will look bulky and unattractive. If you have to give it too many turns, it is best that you take it to a seamstress who will cut it and adjust it to your height.
Wear Black
Black color is an excellent option and next to it are all the dark and solid range tones that you can find.
These types of colors make your figure look very slim. Depending on the area you want to lengthen you can use it. This way you can achieve a better balance in your body. It is also a good alternative to opt for monochrome looks in black.
Shoes With High Soles
You can find different types of shoes that have high soles, this will allow you to add at least 2 or 3 centimeters to your height and it will not even be noticeable.
There are also some brands of shoes that have incorporated an internal and imperceptible platform that will make you increase by about 7 centimeters and you will automatically look taller.
Use Vertical Stripes
Every man always has (or should) striped shirts in his closet, but not all stripes are worth it (yes, it has a double meaning…). Horizontally lined shirts are not the best option for short men as they will end up making you look wider and visually cut off your torso.
The best thing is that you wear shirts with vertical lines and not too fine, choose stripes that can be seen from a certain distance and this will make you look more stylized.
Avoid Clothes With Thick Fabrics
Thick fabrics like very warm sweaters or jackets with a lot of padding are not the best option when you are short as this ends up adding volume to your figure and will make the top look too big and make you look shorter.
Wear clothes that are made of softer and lighter fabrics that allow you to have better mobility and that also make the clothes fit your body and that does not add too much extra volume, so you can look good.
Do Not Wear Shirts With Short Sleeves
Short-sleeved shirts may not be the best option. These types of sleeves can alter your proportions and make you look shorter. Especially if the length of the sleeves of the shirt is somewhat large. Some men tend to reach below the middle of the arm and this is usually not correct.
Roll Up the Sleeve Of Long-Sleeved Shirts
There is nothing worse than a long-sleeved shirt that has excessively long sleeves and ends up falling to the middle of your hand or a lot of fabric accumulates on your arms, this will make you look fuller and smaller.
So that this is not a problem you can fold the shirt to make it stay in the middle of the forearm or a little higher. This will reduce the extra fabric and by showing some skin you will look slimmer. Take care that the shirt is folded perfectly, and do it carefully so that it does not add volume.
