How to Dress for Your Body Type: Tall Men
Taller men face unique challenges in finding clothing that doesn’t overly emphasize their height. The goal is to balance proportions and create a cohesive look.
Start with accessories. Wider belts and larger buckles are ideal for taller men, as they help break up your body’s length and add visual balance. Horizontal patterns, such as checks or plaids, are also great for breaking up vertical lines, preventing you from looking too elongated.
When choosing shirts and jackets, avoid overly short lengths. Ensure that your sleeves and jacket bottoms reach the correct lengths—this will prevent your clothes from appearing too small for your frame. Layering is another excellent technique to add depth and break up your height visually.
Opt for medium to wide lapels on jackets and broader ties. These elements add weight to your upper body, creating a balanced appearance. Similarly, consider wearing trousers with slight pleats, as they add volume and reduce the perception of long legs.
