Short Men Style-7 Things Short Men Need To Avoid

4. Avoid pants, denims and trousers with cuffs and pleats:

Your goal should be to create long and lean lines. Cuffs make your legs look shorter.

5. Get your accessories right:

Short and narrow is the key to accessorizing for men of non average height. Your tie should be in proportion to your body. Generally the ties available in the market today do not cater to men who are short. The neck ties are too long; normally they go past the waistband and thus attract attention to your short frame. They are also very wide which makes you look a little stout. I would suggest you look for ties that are specifically designed for shorter men. Instead of the normal length of 58-60 inches, you should go for ties that are about 54-56 inches. Make sure the width of the neck tie is no more than 2.5-3 inches. The same rule should apply to your Belt too. Pick a belt that is not too long or wide. Go for a slimmer design. Your Watch strap should also be narrow.

6. Avoid strong patterns and prints:

Anything loud or too vibrant will not work for you. These overwhelming patterns will disrupt the visual illusion or effect that you are striving to create. Go for subtle prints and patterns like checks and stripes. For the lengthening effect to work you need to stick to a color palette, so coordinate your ensemble well and if you want to add an edge then a single piece in a bold and vibrant color will do the trick.

7. Heels:

Platform soles or risers add a few inches to your frame but make you look really desperate. Embrace your height and wear normal shoes. They will make you look confident and classy.
