DRESSING TIPS FOR TALL MEN
Still in the series of what you should wear irrespective of your height, today we'll be looking at dressing for tall men.
If you are a tall man, then you should consider dressing differently to someone of normal or short height.
The No. 1 fashion rule is about having confidence in your look. You should look in the mirror and accept, like and appreciate what you see. The most part of fashion is about your confidence and look. Be the clothes; don't let the clothes be you.
When it comes to style those with plenty of height to spare face a different set of fashion challenges than others. A lot of the time tall men can't buy stuff off the rack because it doesn't fit right; you can't get the same kind of custom fit as someone who's "normal" sized. It becomes challenging, but tall guys just have to take a little more time and really take their look seriously. When you're a tall man, you can't just grab something and throw it on and have it work -- you have to put thought and effort into it.
However, tall men are not doomed to be out-of-date and out-of-style. So when you start getting into the different elements of style, clothes gets a little harder to find, and so getting things custom-made becomes one of your only options.
Use common sense when you get dressed. Some men just want to go out there and make a big, bold statement, but if you're tall you don't have to do that
The key thing that you have to understand is your size and ensure that you don't wear anything with vertical stripes - for instance pin stripes. The reason for this is that the lines and the effect that they have on the eye and the body emphasize vertical dimension. The net result is that you look even taller than you are.
Therefore you should consider wearing something with horizontal stripes as these draw attention and the eye away from your towering height, and therefore work better for you.
You can dress for the season; wear what suits you. Color is universal and it all depends on how you pull it off with the rest of your look. If you're a tall guy, I don't think the way you dress can be confined, but there are subtle ways to wear all the looks.
In shopping for your suit, don't be afraid to let the suit really fit your body. Embrace your body type. Also don't let the suit do all the work, let the tie do more of the work.
In buying your shoes, It should be a preference thing. It comes down to being comfortable and to not wearing shoes that makes your feet look a lot bigger than they are.
For your dressy gym shoes, you can get into the Louis or the Guccis; for the dress shoes, you can go the gator route; but for everyday shoes, there are tons of brands you can rock, and that's what makes your look so fly. It all depends on your outfit.
Some of the designers that cater for tall men include
Narciso Rodriguez, John Varvatos, Ralph Lauren among others.
