- Don’t Shop in the Teen’s Department
If you’re on the shorter side, chances are you’ve thought about shopping in the boys’ or teens’ department. While this may seem to make sense, it isn’t the best strategy. The reason being is that kids’ clothing isn’t designed for longevity — which means it deteriorates quickly.
Not to mention the proportions of children’s clothing are vastly different from that of adults. Therefore, they won’t fit your body type. Instead of resorting to shopping at the kid’s department, shop specialty brands.
Brands like Peter Manning design clothes that will complement shorter men. What’s also great about brands made for short men is that you don’t have to tailor them.

You may not realize it but your haircut could make you appear taller. To explain, a haircut that is taller on the top draws the eye upward — making you look longer.

Longer pants make your legs look longer and more statuesque. Choose high-waisted pants that hit below your navel. Also, make sure that they are a slim-fit or else you’ll look bottom-heavy.
