3 Simple Tips to Make Any Man Look Taller October 2, 2017September 30, 2017 Mo Mulchandani Science has yet to come up with a miraculous formula to increase height, so in the meantime, men can count on fashion to help them in their quest to appear taller. Here are three simple tips that are sure to make you look taller. Color Palette To give the illusion of height, dress monochromatically. This styling technique implies wearing different clothing items of the same or a similar color. Did I just hear you say, “boring?” Well, it doesn’t have to be! Instead of relying on color to add fun and personality to your outfit, experiment with different textures and shades, and don’t make the mistake of thinking that monochromatic equals black. You can play with different colors such as navy and add a textured item such as these sharp genuine crocodile skin shoes by Mezlan to elevate your monochromatic game! A monochromatic palette will give you one uninterrupted line and a coherent vertical image, helping your silhouette look more elongated from head to toe, not to mention that donning such an outfit gives you a cleaner and slimmer look! Fit Although wearing fitted clothing is applicable to all men, regardless of height, it is of particular importance to shorter men who want to appear taller. There is no doubt that in addition to making you look lazy and sloppy, oversized, baggy, and ill-fitting clothing makes you look wider, stretching your silhouette horizontally rather than vertically. For a streamlined silhouette that will give you the illusion of height, fit is key. Opt for slim-fitting clothing, and pay attention to measurements rather than size when shopping; for instance, a US size small can be a medium in Europe. We also highly recommend having a skilled tailor who will be able to make sure that any prêt-à-porter clothing fits you just right. Shirts Whenever possible, tuck in your button-down shirt to make your legs appear longer. If you’re going for a casual look, for example, when pairing a T-shirt with your favorite jeans or summer shorts, ensure that your shirt doesn’t go past your hip bone. As you may have figured out, styling to look taller involves using minute, subtle, almost imperceptible optical illusions to give the impression of height or stature, so it goes without saying that long-sleeved shirts are favored over their short-sleeved counterparts, which can make your arms look smaller and shorter. What about the summer months, you ask? We have a solution for that too. You should still wear long-sleeved shirts, but you can cuff them for comfort during the hot weather and for style year-round.
