The humble navy suit is ideal for the shorter man. Monotone palettes will accentuate the frame and make the silhouette appear tall. Try to avoid all black suits as the all black look can make you appear short and give you a block shape.

Simple little tweaks to an outfit such as wearing accessories higher up the body will force the eye line upwards. For example, wear a necklace instead of a bracelet and keep a handkerchief in your top jacket pocket. Hats that frame the face well are a great asset to the shorter mans’ wardrobe as they also draw the eyes upwards making you appear taller.

The obvious choice for footwear for the shorter guy is going to be the cuban heels and why not? They do give a boost in height but can also be the ideal footwear choice to make an outfit look suave. If you prefer the flat footed shoes, then choose trousers that fit you properly and stop at your ankle, baggy trousers around your ankles look bulky and will create a more short and chunky appearance.

A finally tip for creating height; wear a properly fitted, or if you can, a tailored suit. A suit that fits you properly not only looks amazing but will stop you appearing shorter with a more ‘block like’ silhouette.

Have a look at the following images to get more ideas on how to create the illusion of height.
