How to look taller?
A tall man is surely an attractive man. But, it doesn't mean that only tall men can be considered as handsome. Usually, it's enough to know a few tricks that enable you to look taller and hotter in women's eyes.
A perfectly-fitted styling is essential. It should be neither too large nor too loose. You need to pay special attention while choosing a suit jacket. However, a well-fitted T-shirt or jeans may also visually slender and make your silhouette look taller. The next important thing are trousers – especially a suit pair. If they are too long, they lay sloppily on the shoes and shorten the silhouette.
If it comes to clothing, it's worth to have a warm and well-fitted turtle neck jumper. It not only “adds” you a few centimetres, but also is fashionable. Another important fact is that it can be matched to almost every styling. Turtle necks look amazing with men's jeans, a woollen suit, an elegant coat or a lightweight jacket.
If you think about getting new outerwear, keep an eye on short jackets and coats. A duffle coat, a parka, a leather or a lightweight husky jacket are not only trendy and fancy but it also additionally makes you look taller. Although the most versatile are dark colours you should re-consider it and think more positively about bright and soft colours. The reason is simple. Matching a dark bottom with a brighter top is another trick to “add” a few inches to your silhouette. This rule applies not only to outerwear. It's recommended to experiment with light-coloured suit jackets and shirts with dark trousers.
Monochromatic outfits will help you in keeping good silhouette proportions. All-black style or matching clothes in the same colours, but in other shade is a reliable solution to visually lengthen the silhouette. Another helpful pattern for a short man are surely vertical stripes and pinstripes. Both, pin-striped suits and shirts are unique and fancier than plain or checked ones, but also make your silhouette look taller and slimmer.
Clothing means nothing without well-matched accessories. A smart idea how to “add” some height is to wear a hat. But, if you are not keen on this idea, try experimenting with your haircut. It's enough to make your hair swept-back and then you look taller.
It's high time to say about properly chosen shoes. A great offer for chilly days will be ankle boots with a higher upper that fits exquisitely to a woollen suit. The next reliable choice are heavy boots with a higher upper and outsole. In summer, place a bet on sneakers, plimsolls and trainers with a contrasting outsole.
