Recommended Retailers & Brands for Shorter Men
Get Shorty
As far as menswear’s concerned, it’s not easy being short – and I speak from experience. When it comes to off-the-rack tailoring, coats, shirts and trousers, it can be a lottery just trying to find anything that fits.
The problem is that the majority of brands utilise the same ‘average’ body type when cutting their garments, which just so happens to be tall, slim and in perfect proportion. A shape that is actually pretty rare in real life.
Add to that the current trend for longline tees, cropped trousers and fitted bomber jackets – all items that can look out of proportion on shorter guys – and just pulling together a decent outfit in the morning can be tough.
But never fear – we’re here to help. Below you will find who we consider to be the best retailers and brands for shorter gents, to make looking good that little bit easier.
ASOS
As well as offering sizes down to XXXS, ASOS provides shorter length trousers as standard on most of their own-label tailoring, negating the need to get them taken up.
Add to that plenty of brands which cater for shorter guys (such as Carhartt and Cheap Monday) and a ‘shop by size’ feature, and this e-tail giant is better stocked than most high street stores for men on the slighter side.
