Robert Downey Jr. is proof that you can succeed being short, although some tricks to hide it never hurt
Fashion is an art and, as such, illusions can be created through it that deceive the eye of the beholder. By choosing the right clothes, a man can achieve a better proportion of his body: taller, shorter, slimmer, more corpulent ... Here we offer you the best tricks to look taller.
To start, you have to set yourself the goal of turning your body into an unbroken vertical line. This means that the fewer distractions the wardrobe includes between the head and the feet, the better, since it increases the sensation of distance between both points. Consider minimalism or at least a sober style, without belts, large lapels, pockets or prints.
Go for a monochrome outfit it can make you look taller. Use the same color in both halves (trunk and legs), which can be a dark tone, but never black, since, just as it makes us thinner, it also makes us smaller. Grays work especially well for this purpose.
Skinny or slim-fit pants are great for looking taller
When it comes to compensating for short stature, one of the biggest mistakes you can make is buying clothes that are too baggy. To look taller, make sure that the armholes of T-shirts, shirts and jackets are high enough so that the arms look longer. Also, the jacket should end at or slightly above the belly button. Y pants have to fit snugly at the waist and crotch (without going overboard, of course) for a stylizing effect on the legs.
Striped clothing helps people appear taller, although care must be taken that they are not too wide or too close together. And, of course, these must be vertical, never horizontal, because in that case the opposite effect is achieved.
Accessories, yes, but with clean lines and, above all, that appear only on the upper part of the body. Hats and glasses draw attention up and they keep it there, something that suits short men who want to use their wardrobe beneficially to appear taller.
