It's frustrating - I see all these tall, thin dudes that look great in a suit, but I'm built compact and barrel-chested. I'd like to be able to wear a slim-fit suit, but i'm concerned that if I put in too big of a drop from chest to waist, it will look cartoonish - like I'm trying too hard. I've heard the advice on selecting vertical stripes, but is there any other advice you can give for me and my other short, barrel-chested friends?

How do you prefer trousers to be finished?

  • Plain hem

  • Cuffed (1.5 inches or less)

  • Cuffed (more than 1.5 inches)

  • No preference, as long as the proportions work
