Given your height, balance and proportion are two aspects you must pay attention to. Unfortunately, many men don't understand how to dress properly for their height. If you screw up either balance or proportion, you're not going to maximize your aesthetic. Most of us are not born with off-the-rack size bodies, so if you need to go to the tailor to adjust your clothing, do it. A few dollars will make an amazing difference in your aesthetic. Proper proportion of clothing is key whether you're short, average height, or tall. Dress properly for your height. As an image consultant, I understand clients' bodies and heights so that they can look much better regardless of what they're actually wearing. I want to share some of the do's and don'ts of dressing your height, whether short, average, or tall.
Suit jacket sleeve length. You need a half of an inch of cuff exposed. Also, when your arms are down at your side, you need to be able to cup and cuff the suit jacket.
Suit button. The button should be right in the center from the bottom to the top.
Suit pants. They should be worn at your natural waist. I recommend wearing no belt or side adjustment tabs because belts will chop your body in half. You want to create a visual line from your neck to your toe. Your pant legs should be tapered. If they're wide at the bottom, you will look short. A lot of guys neglect tapering at the ankle with their alterations. Regarding the crotch of your pants, you should be able to reach down and grab your junk. If you're grabbing a bunch of extra fabric, this is wrong. Your legs will look shorter. Also, don't have fabric bunching at your ankles. Tall guys don't want to have a lot of ankle exposure because it will make the pants look short. Reciprocally, your pants are too long if they touch your heel.
Clothing color. By playing around with different colors, you can offset the disproportion of your body. Dark colors will make aspects look smaller, so if you have a bigger torso, go dark to offset it with a light pair of pants. On the flip side, if you have a longer or bigger torso with shorter legs, you go with a darker color below with a lighter color on top. Check out my examples.
Monochromatic outfits. Everyone should try monochromatic outfits regardless of their height. Just make sure that if you're a tall dude who's thinner, opt for lighter colors to look bigger. Shorter guys will look taller, more muscular, and leaner.
Solids. Pants with subtle pinstripes will make you look taller, while horizontal stripes will make you look shorter and wider. Regardless of your height, solid colors will always be a better option.
The fit. Fit will always make a difference regardless of your height. Your pants need to fit you. You'll look short and fat if they're too big and baggy. Big and baggy oversized clothing will not accentuate anything. It's a popular trend, but it looks best on younger dudes. If you're a bit older than 25, maximize your aesthetic.
Shirt length. This aspect can totally screw up your aesthetic. If you wear an untucked shirt, ensure it's a proper length by making sure it does not come down any lower than midway of your crotch. If your shirt goes down too far, covering your crotch, your upper body will look too long, and your legs will look super short. Reciprocally, if your shirt is super short (when you reach up, you can see your midriff), your body will look short, and your legs will look long.
Sleeve length. You do not want extra fabric bunching around your wrist when wearing long sleeves. Get your shirt altered, as you don't want your arms looking short. Also, you do not want your entire biceps and triceps covered if you wear short sleeves. Accentuate your arms by exposing the bottom third of your triceps.

You CAN do baggy with balanced proportions. Baggy pants with a bit extra cropped shirt leads to a good balance of leg length appearance

[@markramos7245]

If you’re a short guy should you stay away from contrasting colors that cut your body in half?

[@vincentjames2202]

Who would you recommend in Las Vegas for a personal shopper/wardrobe specialist? Much needed. Shopping gives me anxiety and I never have any idea what to buy.

[@antoniog9814]

Excellent video, but you forgot to talk about wearing socks. Matching dark socks with dark trousers and light with light will elongate the leg. Exposing bare ankles, not only does it look tacky, but it breaks the leg line, just like the belt.

[@Mjones4949]

Can you please discuss in more detail when it's ok to go beltless?

Mr.Alpha i have question What is your height??🙏💚

[@yurydmorales]

- 0:00⚖ Understanding balance and proportion is crucial for dressing well according to your height. - 1:52👔 Properly fitting suits are essential for achieving balance and proportion in your attire. - 3:56👖 Pants should be worn at the natural waist and tapered at the ankles to elongate the legs. - 5:42🎨 Playing with color can help offset body proportions, with dark colors minimizing and light colors emphasizing. - 7:40✂ Clothing should fit well to avoid looking short or disproportionate, with attention to sleeve and shirt length. - 9:57💼 Tailoring your clothes can make a significant difference in achieving the right proportions for your body type.

[@GCT1990]

It's crazy that both you and Alex aren't the height from the thumb nail 😂

[@I_Drank_WHAT_TTV]

being 6/2 (back off ladies I'm still doing me LOL) I have an issue with jeans and slacks. They're either too short or too long AND to make matters worse, one of my legs is slightly longer than the other due to having it broken when I was very young. I usually go through King Size (I'm larger than most but I'm going back to where I was before the pandemic) and they hem them up for $5 bucks. the shirts aren't bad but a lot of them are either too short or too long.

Look everyone has a different opinion and views on how people should dress but most people like me could careless of what other people think and I’m gonna dress and wear what I like and how I feel comfortable and not how others think of how I should dress

[@warbaby1975]

It does feel amazing being the best dressed man in a room and does bring attention of compliments. However, no matter how well short men dress along with a greek god statue physcal appearance... we may get women to notice us but being short is the most noticed physical feature notice about us. All we are is a well dressed most physically fit man in the room who is too short for a woman to want us. All the fashion style, physically working out, humor and personalty, and success a short man has and with all that work we do on our selves really only qualifies us for morbidly obese single moms with 3-5 kids from taller men and yet they will remind us that they are just settling for us because they cant get the tall men like they used to get before they had kids. Usually men 5'6 and shorter that say they have no problem meeting women just ask them how many kids from taller men does she have and the answer is usually 3 to 5 kids. Short men mostly can not get a woman that is not a single mom from a taller man. Single moms will always tell you they used to reject short men before they had kids from taller men and now that they are older with kids and more mature she'll say he a mans height doesnt matter as much as it did when she was younger.
