The Right Cut in a Suit Can Make Short Men Look Taller
Its not much of a secret that cutting clothes a specific way can give the illusion of height for short men. No other garment gives you more leeway for this than suits. A finely tailored suit cut just right for short men can use just about every trick in the book to add the illusion of more height. Cutting Suits specifically to add the illusion of height has been something that Hollywood has been doing for many years. Actors like Tom Cruise (5'8"), Dustin Hoffman(5'7"), Al Pacino (5'6"), Scott Caan (5'6"), Jeremy Piven (5'8") are frequently seen in suits cut specific lay to make their shorter frame look taller.
The Background on "Short" Suits
When buying a suit off the rack you will find these three common "lengths", Short, Regular and Long. What many people do not know is that these " lengths" are all portioned and graded out from the fit of a specific "ideal" mans dimensions, which is 6', 38" chest, 32" waist. (40r) this makes a short proportioned perfect for a man who is 5'9", which is still above the world average height (5'7"). Rarely do you find extra short suits for men, which would be about right for a man 5'7". The fact is most suits are cut too big for short men.
How to Find the Best Fit
There are solutions to getting the best fit in suits for short men. It all starts with finding a local tailor who understands how to alter suits accordingly. A great tailor will be the most important ingredient in helping to make sure that you maximize your clothing investment dollars. Expect it to be a given that you will have your suits altered. Task number one is finding a great tailor that you can trust. Listen to their advice.
Task number two: Find a designer who cut works well on you. A good way to start is with a "shrunken" suit. One designer that comes to mind is Thome Brown and his Black Fleece line by Brooks Brothers. A shrunken suit is made to look short on a "regular " length cut. What you will find is that the shrunken cut fits prefect on a shorter frame. If you can not find a "shrunken" suit cut, here are some design cues to look for:
Look for shorter cropped jackets. Shorter jackets give the illusion of longer legs.
Look for lower rise pants. Again when paired with a shorter jacket, gives the wearer the look of longer legs.
Have the tailor give you a plain hem pant (no cuffs)
Slimmer cut and dark colors with a pin stripe. You want the least amount of horizontal lines or bulk.
One thing that is tough to find but is often a staple of custom suits for short men are details that are proportioned accordingly. When custom suit makers cut a suit they make sure that details such as the breast pocket, lower jacket pockets, flaps etc. are all proportioned smaller. It seems like a minute detail but it really does create a big impact.
Task number three: Pair it with the right furnishings. Choose shoes, ties and shirts that create the a stream lined and simple look, meaning go as monotone as acceptable. This doesn't mean wear a dark shirt with a dark suit, but its better to pair a navy suit with a white shirt and dark tie, black shoes and black belt, than a navy suit with a pink shirt, equally a bright tie, brown shoes and brown belt. Less is more when it comes to creating the illusion of height.
