Leather Soul Aldens of course, Wings+Horns Service Boots if that cannot be arranged

Keds are perfect for the beach, but so are sandals. Slogan tees are pretty much beyond the pale but I've seen some good band tees with words on them that were pretty good.

I love how the model looks like a fifteen year who rubbed dirt on his face because he couldn't grow any real facial hair (I'm not buying that five o'clock shadow).

you can see a gray shirt through a white one even more.

why not just get a white jersey tank from H&M or those thinner silent damir doma knock off shirts they have (even though its probably the same supplier, both made in Portugal, fit the same and made of organic cotton blends)

That's what's called the way to drunk look. That's 3 AM style around most gin mills. LOL.



Yep. Not to mention athletes foot really sucks. If you want to look like a carpenter in the Summer it's boots with socks, shorts and an untucked tee with an unbuttoned flannel on the cool morning days. Construction workers got the whole workwear thing down pat.



I don't know about this one. I suppose it all depends on the circle of people you hang with or want to hang with. Mehhhh i can take it or leave it.



O'Rly? Are we talking male or female? Both genders? I know plenty of short people from both sexes that look very good and well put together and they wear designer clothes.



B B B....But what about the brand whores? What will they ever do without clothes that have their favorite logo prominently displayed for all to see? I can hear them crying of the horror of it all.


Guys only.
Not being racist, but where I live there are a bunch of short Asian kids wearing nice clothes (bought by rich mommies and daddies) and they look ridiculous. By short, I mean like under 5'5.
Short people tend to look stubbier (unless they're wicked thin) and clothes just don't look as good as it could.
I have a very biased view, obviously
