Clothes for the Short Guy - Stores, Brands/Lines, Websites - Page 3

Denim can be tricky for a few reasons. The pockets are often standard sized cut so they end up being too long or proportionately too large overall, making your behind visually look lower. So look for smaller back pockets with no designs on them to draw the eye there. Also the yolk area at the back if often quite long, so the overall back and pocket area sits low even when worn on teh waist. Stick to a short yolk, look carefully and you'll start to see the difference. Another problem is that any jeans with predistressing is often WAY off for shorter guys, so the fake knee and thigh and calf fades are half a foot too low and once hemmed just make the legs look stumpy. In generall you're best off sticking with raw denim and breaking them in yourself. Normally I'm an advocate of minimal break, but in the case of jeans I actually like a bit of stack, that's just me though. A good example of everything above is APC NS's, and personally I really like the slim but not too tapered look of the Nudie Slim Jim's (big flashy pockets though)
