Fashion tips for short men

WE LIVE in a physical world and
we judge each other, to a signifi-
cant degree, by the way we look.

Obviously, our physical ap-
pearance is greatly affected by the
clothes that we are wearing. With
this in mind, here are 10 fashion
tips for the shorter man.

It is important to bear in mind
thet the object is to look one’s
best, and not to go to unusual ex-
tremes {c try to appear tall.

The shorter man — under 5°8”’
— should not be restricted to con-
Servative stripes and dark solid

suits. Many of the items would be
relevant for men (and women) of
any height.

© Proper proportions — This is
the most important consideration.
Are the clothes designed for the
person’s build — height, weight,
chest or waist? Is it the proper size
range, short, extra short, portly
short or portly extra short?

* Proper fit — After the basic
proportions have been determined
to be correct, then have the final
adjustments been made so the
clothes will properly fit that par-

ticular individual?

© Exaggerated patterns and col-
ors — These are to be avoided.
Shorter men, however, can wear
plaids and other patterns as long as
they are reasonable.

© Classic looks will serve one
best in the Jong run. Avoid severe
styles and silhouettes that are very
baggy or very tight.

© Avoid cuffs, as they tend to
break up the Jeg line.

© Emphasize quality in fabrics
and construction. Most garments
look good on a hanger, but what

really counts is how they look after
repeated wearings and dry clean-
ings.

® Natural fibers and quality
blends should be emphasized for
comfort and wearability.

© Three-button models can be a
bit overpowering. *

© Pleated slacks “and double
breasted coats are fine, ‘as long as
the proportions and the fit are cor-
rect.

¢ Proper care, rotation and reg-
ular dry cleaning are important in
maintaining a quality wardrobe.
