Knowing what to wear may come to you easily but perfecting the art of how to don an apparel such that it brings out the best in you, even if your physique is a little average than normal is where the real art of clothing yourself lies. In my last article, I talked about commencing a series which would focus solely on clothes for men with body structures a tad more or lesser than the normal. So let’s get on with our next segment – trousers for short and slim men!
Trousers play a crucial role for men who are shorter and thinner than normal. I mean you can’t do much with the shirts but there’s a great deal you can do with trousers to make you look taller. Here are some tips:

• Instead of wearing a contrasting trouser with your shirt, wearing a matching trouser will lengthen your body structure more.
• Always remember to wear the trouser high on waist so that they are fuller on the hip. This will promote a longer leg line and this transition looks the best when this is worn with a larger scale shoe. In this regard, the cuffs ideally 1 5/8″ will help to smoothen this transition.
• The trouser should always break on the shoe so that it extends
the view from top to bottom.
The accessories too play a crucial role in accentuating or suppressing your built. Hence here are some tips that’ll add to your chic look, along with making you look taller and a little then slim.

• Dress shirts should be stripped with non-contrasting collars as well as cuffs.
• The collars that work the best are spread, tab and long pointed pin collars.
• Wearing suspenders help as they emphasize verticality in a physique.
• If you wear striped, understated neckwear knotted in four in the hand style, you’ll look dapper than you’ve imagined..
• This may not bring much logic to you but donning a tonal handkerchief folded with points leaning outward makes for a great accessory for your built.
• Welted soled shoes add height and make for a balancing act with the breadth of your shoulder.
So here is how short and slim men can follow essentials to make their frame look broader and taller than the usual. Once you understand how the science of proportion works, you’ll always keep these in mind while purchasing or getting your clothes tailored to perfection!

One accessory modern men agree would be a great fashion addition is caps, hats and headwear. Some men love to wear hats to be fashionable while others wear it as functional or for some practical reasons like to block out sun, wind and cold. Popular hat styles include the old standby - the baseball cap –the knit cap- the cowboy hat or the dressier headwear like the newsboy.
