Introduction:
Hello  there.  

It’s  your  man  Aaron  right  here.  

Thank  you  for  ge8ng  the  Style  &  Fashion  Tips  For  Short  Men  Ul?mate  Guide.

This  informa?on  is  for  all  you  short  men  who  want  to  change  the  way  you  dress  and  most  importantly,  look  taller.  This  
book  contains  15  easy  to  follow  approaches  necessary  to  helping  you  look  taller,  feel  more  confident  and  most  
importantly,  look  AMAZING!  

Before  I  dive  in,  here's  a  short  story  about  myself.  

Well...  I’m  SHORT!  I’m  only  5’4.

I’m  Aaron,  I’m  the  founder/writer/editor/secretary/chief  at  Short  of  Height.  I  started  this  blog  to  share  my  journey  
learning  more  about  fashion  ?ps  for  short  men.
A ‘short’ history of ME.
You  see,  I  was  never  a  ‘fashionista’.  I  used  to  dress  terribly.  I  was  what  you  called  a  fashion  slacker  and  fashion  never  
really  interest  me.

I  used  to  get  my  girlfriend  (and  my  poor  mom)  to  buy  clothes  for  me.  I  was  happy  just  about  anything.  I  never  dress  
up  because  I  never  really  see  the  point  of  it.

Then  I  saw  a  few  short  guys  (slightly  taller  than  me)  dressed  really  nice!  I  searched  around  and  staked  them  to  find  out  
where  they  shopped.  One  day  at  Topshop,  I  saw  long  pants  that  I  liked  and  decided  to  try  it  on.  WOW!  for  the  first  ?me  
ever,  I  saw  something  that  I  love  and  fiYed  me.  I  didn’t  look  like  I  was  wearing  adult  clothes  anymore.  I  was  wearing  
something  that  fiYed  me.  I  look  FABULOUS!

Since  then,  everything  changed.  I  studied  more  about  fit  and  wanted  to  find  more  clothes  that  fit  me.  All  this  ?me,  it’s  
not  that  I  looked  bad  in  everything,  I  was  simply  wearing  clothes  that  didn’t  fit  me.  That  is  why  I  started  my  Instagram  
account  at  @shorto\eight.  It  was  to  share  my  journey  and  fashion  ?ps  for  short  men.

I  shared  my  height  because  no  one  believed  I  was  5’4ʺ″.  Everyone  thought  I  was  taller!I  received  so  many  messages  from  
people  who  were  like  me  and  a_er  seeing  how  I  dressed  up,  they  too  decided  to  change  how  they  look  and  wanted  to  
dress  beYer.

This  is  why  I  started  Short  of  Height  and  wrote  this  guide.  
Tip 1: Wear fitted clothing
If  there's  one  ?p  that  you  can  take  away  from  this  report.  
It's  THIS!

Pay  extra  aYen?on  to  where  your  clothes  sit  on  you  
when  you  try  them  on.  Men  usually  wear  clothing  that  
wrong  for  them.  They  are  probably  wearing  clothes  that  
are  1  and  some?mes  even  2  sizes  too  large  for  them  

Why?  The  reason  is  simple,  men  usually  allow  their  

mothers  buying  their  clothes,  which  results  in  the  caring  
mother  buying  something  larger,  just  so  they  can  be  
extra  safe  and  sure.  Short  men  look  hideous  when  they  
wear  loose  fit.  I  know!  I'm  guilty  of  that  as  well.  I  used  to  
ask  my  mother  to  help  me  too!  

Make  sure  that  your  clothing  is  fit  for  your  body.  You  do  
not  want  something  ?ght  that  doesn’t  allow  your  body  to  
breathe,  but  you  want  something  that  looks  streamline.  
And  do  not  make  the  mistake  thinking  that  clothing  
marked  small  is  enough.  Some?mes,  even  baggy  clothes  
can  be  marked  small  to  fit  shorter  guys.
Tip 2. Go Monochrome
When  you  dress  up  in  one  color,  you  camouflage...  well  
height  issues.  Monochroma?c  dressing  means  dressing  
yourself  all  in  one  color  or  a  par?cular  shade,  and  the  
main  reason  you  should  do  it  is  styling  technique  to  
appear  taller.  

Monochroma?c  dressing  provides  you  with  a  ver?cal  

image,  and  blends  your  a8re.  

When  it  comes  to  colors,  black  is  the  most  common  
choice  for  monochroma?c  look.  All  other  dark  colors  
work  as  well,  since  they  make  the  wearer  look  leaner.  
We  all  want  that  don't  we?  Tall  and  lean!  

Every  ?me  you  look  leaner,  you  appear  taller  to  the  
public  as  you  present  in  one  coherent  visual  image.  

Some  other  op?ons  include  burgundy,  deep  green,  navy,  

dark  brown  or  charcoal.
Tip 3. Pick Vertical Remember  ver?cal  lines  =  yay!
Horizontal  lines  =  NAY!

Here's  another  trick!  

4. Wear In soles
When  it  comes  to  tricks  to  look  taller  and  longer,  wearing  
ver?cal  stripes  is  one  of  the  oldest,  if  not  the  oldest  trick   Insoles  and  inserts  are  a  great  way  to  add  an  inch  or  two  
in  the  book.  And  there  is  a  reason  for  that.   to  your  height,  and  s?ll  look  sharp.  

Not  only  do  they  make  you  look  SLIMMER,  stripes   The  best  thing  is  that  nobody  will  no?ce  that  you  have  
create  long  lines  and  the  result  is  outlook  of  a  taller  body.   “grown”  an  inch  or  two  suddenly.  
It  is  only  a  bonus  that  stripes  are  usually  one  of  the  
hoYest  trends  during  the  spring  and  summer,  so  you’ll   The  good  thing  is,  insoles  go  inside  your  shoes,  and  the  
have  no  problems  finding  some  nice  and  quality  clothes   bonus  is  that  aside  from  making  you  look  taller,  insoles  
with  stripes. add  a  certain  feeling  of  comfort  to  your  shoes.

The  reason  ver?cal  stripes  make  you  look  taller  is  the   And  you  can  always  travel  to  a  foreign  country  for  your  
way  the  human’s  eye  works,  you  see  when  the  person   holiday,  and  come  back  with  a  suitcase  full  with  new

ver?cality,  going  up  and  down.  With  ver?cal  stripes,  you  
add  height  even  without  trying  to  do  it.  Make  sure  that  
the  stripes  are  narrow  enough,  and  watch  for  clothes  
that  create  empty  spaces  of  monochrome  between  the  
stripes.  However,  the  stripes  also  need  to  be  wide  
enough  so  they  are  visible  at  first  glance.

Remember  this  rule!

5. Custom / Tailored
If  you  want  to  take  it  up  a  notch,  just  find  a  good  tailor  or  
a  short  clothing  specialist,  and  you  can  op?mize  and  
adjust  your  clothes.  YES!  It  will  cost  more,  especially  if  
you  order  full  custom  clothing,  but  it  is  worth  it,  seeing  
how  amazing  you’ll  look  a_er.  

For  a  cheaper  alterna?ve,  you  can  always  buy  clothes,  

and  then  take  them  to  the  tailor  for  an  adjustment.  This  
is  what  I  do  o_en.  In  fact,  I'm  good  friend  with  my  tailor  
now.  

The  benefit  is  that  you  will  always  have  clothes  that  help  
you  look  taller,  emphasize  your  streamline  look,  and  
focus  on  the  body  parts  that  you  want  to  show.  You  
need  to  bear  in  mind  though,  being  well  dressed  is  more  
about  confidence  than  it  is  about  the  clothes  you  wear.  If  
you  ooze  confidence,  even  the  loose  fit  clothes  will  look  
sharp  on  you.
6. Wear V-necks 7. No long hair
Confession.  I  love  my  V-­‐necks!  The  crew-­‐neck  is  the   Bad  news  for  all  the  fans  of  long  hair,  if  you  are  a  short  
typical  rounded  neckline  you  mostly  see  on  sweaters  and   dude  trying  to  make  it  out  in  the  world,  forget  the  long  
shirts.  But  if  you  are  a  short  dude  trying  to  look  taller,   hair.  Long  hair  covers  your  face,  and  you  will  not  look  
the  V-­‐neck  is  the  one  you  look  for.  I  highly  encourage   propor?onal.  The  best  thing  you  can  do  is  opt  for  a  short  
short  men  wearing  V-­‐necks  as  the  neckline  offers  two   hairstyle,  preferably  ver?cal  hairstyle.  Ver?cal  hair  can

will  look  more  aYrac?ve.  Second,  V-­‐neck  neckline   If  you  want  some  chic  hairstyle,  ask  your  barber  and

a  short  guy. Okay!  if  you  want  to  keep  your  longer  hair,  then  get  it  
trimmed  o_en  and  keep  it  back.  Think  Brad  PiY  in  ____

8. Hem your pants! Taller  guys  can  get  away  with  break  pants  every  now  and  
then,  but  short  men,  they  simply  must  look  streamline,  
clean  and  polished.  Hem  your  pants!
Some  people  simply  do  not  have  the  ?me  or  the  desire  
to  hem  their  pants.  And  the  result  is  pants  that  look   When  buying  pants,  always  check  if  the  store  offers

Alterna?vely,  you  can  shop  at  stores  that  sells  pants  that  
has  your  in-­‐seam.  
9. Avoid belts in  men  purchasing  clothes  a  size  or  two  bigger  in  order  
to  hide  their  stomach.

Now  no  man  can  live  without  belts,  but  if  you  are  a  short   However,  that  is  the  biggest  mistake  you  can  make  when

for  closely  placed  pockets.
If  you  need  to  wear  belts,  go  for  a  simple,  slim  belt  that  
will  mostly  go  unno?ced.  And  if  you  can  avoid  belts,   Another  is  your  pants  inseam.  You  need  to  know  what  is  
even  beYer. your  inseam.  

10. Know your size That  way  you  can  wear  pants  that  actually  fit  your  
height.  
Here's  a  fun  fact!  They  say  that  80%  of  women  around  
the  world  pick  up  the  wrong  size  of  their  bra  and  the  
result  is  a  disaster.  

The  same  applies  to  short  men!  Some  men  are  not  
comfortable  wearing  their  size  due  to  some  physical  
issues  (bigger  stomach  for  example),  which  o_en  results  
11. Stand straight 12. Smaller proportions
Want  to  add  some  height  in  a  few  seconds?  Follow  this   Wearing  smaller  propor?ons  clothing  is  something  that  is  
?p! not  easy  to  find  off  the  rack.  The  trick  is  to  adjust  your  
clothing.  For  example,  you  want  to  avoid  wearing  wide  
One  of  the  biggest  problems  with  men  is  that  they   lapels  on  your  jacket,  and  avoid  wearing  wide  thighs.  
usually  stand  and  walk  slouchy.  What  happens  is  that  
they  lower  their  shoulders,  their  head  and  neck,  and  in   Your  thighs  must  be  propor?onal  to  your  body.  A  good  
reality,  the  look  at  least  three  to  five  inches  shorter  than   example  is  the  following:  small  guys  look  smaller  because  
they  are.  Don’t  be  that  guy.   their  head  is  propor?onally  larger  than  their  body  
suggests,  and  tall  men  look  taller  because  their  head  is  
Stand  straight  at  all  ?mes.  One  of  the  ways  to  prac?ce   propor?onally  smaller.  The  human  head  is  actually  similar  
standing  straight  is  to  exercise  more,  and  build  up  your   in  size,  no  maYer  if  you  are  five  feet  five  inches,  or  seven

gives  you  more  aYrac?ve  physique.
While  you  cannot  hide  your  head,  you  can  do  something  
with  your  jacket  and  other  clothing.  For  example,  if  you  
have  big  feet  and  you  are  five  feet  and  few  inches,  wear  
delicate  shoes  that  will  hide  your  big  feet.  Avoid  big  
rubbers  and  huge  soles.  You  also  want  smaller  pockets  
and  smaller  lapels  on  your  jacket  and  clothing.  While  
wearing  smaller  propor?ons  doesn’t  make  you  look  taller  
by  a  feet,  it  contributes  vastly,  and  people  won’t  say  
“look  he  is  only  five  feet  and  wearing  something  huge”.
13. Wear a sports jacket 14. Shop online
Not  many  men  wear  a  sports  jacket,  but  it  is  something   You  need  to  know  that  clothing  is  made  for  specific  
that  short  men  should  really  do.  I  understand  that  you   regions  and  the  customer  size.  That  being  said,  clothes  in

more,  and  you  will  need  to  wait.  However,  some?mes  
you  can  catch  a  sale,  and  wai?ng  for  the  right  piece  of  
clothing  is  a  wait  worth  wai?ng  for.  

Alterna?vely,  you  can  try  to  shop  at  Peter  Manning,  they

15. Wear height increasing shoes
Okay!  I'm  going  to  say  this.  If  women  can  wear  push  up  
bras  for  special  occasions,  so  can  you.....  wear  height  
increasing  shoes  for  special  occasions.  

If  you're  going  to  a  Gala,  a  black  ?e  event,  a  special  dress  

up  event,  or  maybe  planning  to  propose  to  your  
girlfriend.  You  can  consider  ge8ng  a  height  increasing  
shoe.  

I'm  not  shy  to  admit  that  I  have  one  or  two  of  them  in  
my  closet  right  now.  (I  was  wearing  one  in  this  pic)
