Pants Short Men

For men today, pants are an essential part of any outfit. These may be dress pants for a formal function, or casual pants, like jeans, for outdoor pursuits or just lounging around. It goes without saying that the choice of pants available at stores is truly vast. On the other hand, many pants on the market today are tailored for men of average height and above. This leads to problems for shorter men, who may unwisely end up choosing unsuitable pants that accentuate their lack of height. Sadly, these can attract unfavorable comments or even ridicule from others. To redress this, here are a few tips for short men who may be unsure of which pants to choose:

In many cases, shorter men have a specific problem, which is that their legs are on the short side and somewhat out of proportion with their torso. It is understandable that this leads to distress, but, rather than dwelling on it, short men should be constructive. This involves looking carefully for more flattering attire, of the kind which conveys the impression that they are somewhat taller than they really are.

Vital to changing the viewer's impression of the height of a short man are the color and cut of his pants. With regard to color, darker tones are best. These include black, dark gray, brown and darker blues, all of which have the effect of making the legs appear both thinner and longer.

Concerning how pants are cut, the best style for short men is regular fit, with a regular rise. These are cut on the slim side, which makes the wearer's legs look longer and thinner. To be avoided by short men at all costs are low-rise and baggy fit pants. Low rise is particularly bad because it appears to move the waist and crotch lower - fatal on a man whose legs are already short. Baggy pants again make the legs look shorter, in this case by making them seem fatter, which deceives the eye as to bodily proportions. For similar reasons short men should also keep away from long, baggy shorts.

But all things considered, and provided he perseveres and shops around carefully, there is no reason why a short man should not look just as good as his taller counterpart.
