How to Dress to look Taller - For Men

Most men, no matter what their height want to look a little taller. If you are on the those men, don't despair you will be happy to know that with a few simple tricks it is possible to deceive the eye and appear to be at least 2 0r 3 inches taller. Here a few easy steps you can take:

1. Dress in the solid colors from head to toe. Choose a color that is dark and complements your skin tone. Wear suits in dark colors.

2. Avoid wearing hats. Hats have a tendency to make you appear shorter. Avoid cuffed trousers and long suit jackets.

3. When choosing a sweater avoid those of a bulky nature and opt for those that are thin. As well as bulky sweaters, layers of clothing will also create the illusion of pounds and make you appear shorter.

4. Wear clothes that suit your body type and are form fitting. A lot of men don't pay attention to how a garment fits and wear styles that are too big and baggy. Clothes that are tailored to fit your shape will have a much more slimming effect and will add height.

5. Wear clothes that have vertical lines, such as single-breasted jackets and pin stripes. Avoid horizontal stripes, bold colors and plaids.
