Unless you believe in the power of daydreaming, there’s little chance you’ll be able to solve problems without exerting any effort. Application of the concept: when dressed for your height. Though nothing can make your body lengthen for you, certain style suggestions and methods can give you the illusion of being taller. And if anyone is raining on our parade single-handedly, it’s our handlebar mascot, Aamir Khan. Nothing we’ve seen from the actor’s wardrobe in recent months has disappointed us in terms of style. Sure, his apparel has never been particularly noteworthy, but there’s still a lot to learn from Mr. Khan. He has always, without exception, succumbed to dressing for his (fairly) diminutive stature. And if you’re looking for examples of our previous assertion, here are five.
In life, you need a well-fitted pair of jeans for Lesson #1. Nothing too baggy or low-rise, but a pair of denim bottoms with a high/medium rise. In no way should you appear stumpier than usual! Plus, the darker the color/wash, the better. By doing so, you’ll draw attention away from the bottom and toward the top, giving the impression of increased length. Mr. Khan is, of course, wielding the hammer!
2. Man, joggers are way too laid-back. Cuffed joggers, on the other hand, can produce trouble in males who are a touch too short. But if you keep a scooped neckline, a dwindling hem, and a length that falls just below the hip, there’s nothing stopping you from playing high stakes in style.
3. The point is that you can’t show off your natural body lines when you’re short. Keep your clothing well-fitting, but leave room for the imagination to draw attention away from your imperfections. If you’re looking for a layering piece, consider fuller arms, as seen here. They’ll make your top half look sleeker, gradually increasing your length for you.
