Living in China for a few years, the shirts here fit me a lot better than those at home in Ireland. The fabric they're made from is sometimes more comfortable too.
Whenever I go visit China, I bring back a lot of clothes from there... They are cheaper, better fitting, and stylish (American s fits me too but very often the shoulder or length is messed up and disproportional)
I'm 5'2" and 180, and 61 years old. Extra short is the term used. You're so very right about proportions. However, I DON'T WANT TO LOOK TALLER. All my life people have told me in one way or another how to look taller, and how I should try to look taller. I've been 5'2" since I was 16 years old. I've been OK with that for a long time. But I stop listening to people when they start telling me to look taller. I don't need to look taller. There's nothing wrong with me just the way I am. I try to look good, sure. Try to look taller? Tell me there's something wrong with my height? Tell me I don't measure up? You have nothing more to say that I want to hear.
Atta boy Howatt, you my man! Nothing's wrong with your height ( i just can't resist the idea of adding 'or of the lack of it') and I just say wow at the way you made that comment, you rokc you ol' son of a gun! But I have just one question; i know why I watched this video, but why did you, sir? That said, My bonus was when I get to read your comment. Yours? Maybe it's your idea to give out bonuses to guys like me? Good job, Howard, keep it up!😎
With this height , In Russia you are tiny 😂.in Germany you are puny😂 ....In Bangladesh you are good height😛 & you are tallest in central African republic 😝..who cares .. enjoy your life to the fullest ..and do not waste your money on your clothing & unwanted bla bla experts ..enjoy life and that's precious ...😄😊
about the "boys' section" .. my friend is way bigger than me, so when we buy clothes together he teases me saying "to belong to the boys section" and I say "you belong to the barn" .. Lovely days.
Wonderful tips! At just a few months shy of 21 standing at only 5'1", anyone can imagine that my confidence levels are a tad lacking. I'm definitely in a "below" below average height considering my gender and age. I'll definitely look into utilizing this advice.
I'm very a short and skinny guy - 5'3" and 112lbs. Clothing is impossible to find!! I'm 17 years old and still shopping in the little boys section, RIP
what a great video!! im constantly embarrassed about my short stature and general physical appearance. I'm 5'2 and even the smallest sizes are too large for me!! thanks for the tips!!
5 "7' a major problem faced is length of the arms on retail shirts and jackets. plus one of my other negatives is that I got some far around my Belly region now, so have to go for a bigger size in stores and thus accentuation the longer sleeve lengths.
varun arora perhaps hitting the gym and working you arms to shoulders might help the sleeve delema. while you're at it, hit the pave. no shame in trimming that down some
As a very short man of only 5-2, and a muscular build of 140 pounds (been working out for almost 20 years), I would normally say that my sizing is beyond impossible to find clothes that fit proportionally. For a long time I believed it to, but after enough experimentation over the years, I have my "go-to's" when it comes to clothes that fit me perfectly and gets me compliments wherever I go: Button down long sleeve shirts: J. Crew, Uniqlo, Izod, and American Eagle. Size XS Short sleeve t-shirts and polos: H&M, American Eagle, and Express. Size XS Jeans: Levi's & American Eagle. Boys size 16 (28W, 28 Inseam) Dress pants: Van Huesen. Size Boys 16 Blazers/Suit Jackets: Anything that's a 38S or Boys size 16. Hope this helps my fellow short brethren out there. And if these sizes are too tight, get in shape and lose the gut. If a little guy like me can still have the determination and confidence to do what I have to in order to feel good in his skin and not let the negative criticism/vibes everywhere concerning short men get to me, you shouldn't either. Look at it this way, when you go to the beach and the ladies see you with your shirt off, they'll notice your physique before they notice your height.
thanks for the tips. being 5'6" and having very short legs, you can imagine me trying to find a proper suit/well made clothes. great video as always. anyone who ever asks me how/why I dress so nice all the time, I reference them to you. I have followed your videos advice to the letter many times, and it has never failed. I even used those tips about sweating/using a grey undershirt during a public speaking event and it made me much more confident and got myself a standing ovation, part of me likes to think they were just clapping for my shoes haha
I'm only 5 foot 1. A problem I run into is the tail of my tie hangs past the tie itself. My fix for this is to fold the tail back up and use a tie clip to keep the tail and tie attached to my shirt.
Great video .I found them extremely useful as i am quite small (1.71 m ) but i am also very broad shouldered , so i find it quite hard to get clothing of my size .
This was an informative video and you were well dressed and confident. I sell men's suits and shoes for a major Department Store. Working with the smaller man is a challenge. I will send customers to Peter Manning's website. ~If I may make a few suggestions to the man who wants to add to his wardrobe: 90% of men have to have clothes altered, not just short men. Unless you're having your clothes custom made, you will pay to have some item(s) adjusted for proper fit. This isn't a 'tailor's tax', just the price for not having gone bespoke.That phrase sounded like pure Madison Avenue baloney. Secondly, if you are looking for a suit, come dressed to buy one. Wear dress shoes and a long sleeve shirt. Bring a belt.And allow several days (perhaps a week)for alterations. This last note is critical. Don't expect your lack of planning -urgency - to become the store's emergency. Though we will try to accommodate you, tailoring takes time. Keep up the good work, Antonio.
I am 5' 6''. I try to place myself in clothing that brings out the sexy/attractive features of my body. Giving individuals something attractive to look at can take away the focus on height. Also adding a nice watch, a couple bracelets, and outfit appropriate jewelry can add focal points to yourself. It's worked for me, so far, but I am still improving.
Great tips Antonio, as always. This subject is very near and dear to me due to the fact that I am 5'3". I will most definitely be checking out Peter Manning when I can update my wardrobe. Thanks for Your service while in the military and now in the civilian world Sir.
This happens to me very often - I'm glad that big things come in small packages - but, shit, being 5'5" is fucked - until I remove my god damn pants. This was some good advice in this show, thank you.
I am 15 and this idea is probably shit but what about an app or website where you can search for or link clothes you own from websites and it can generate different outfits for you. Just thought of it so can someone tell em if its bad or not :/
Thanks for sharing this. I'm 5' 6". Not overly short, but at 130 pounds I'm a pretty small guy. Most of the shirts I buy are xs or s around 14-14 1/2" neck. I have lots of shirts from Express. I always wait for deals from outlet stores, but even so, the sleeves are always just a bit too long. I'll have to check out your recommended brand. I'm looking for some pants now. Dark denim and some darker shade chinos. Any suggestions for 30" waist and 30" length? Don't want to spend a lot either. So budget brands are good. Thanks!
Peter Manning is to preppy for me, I prefer the Calvin Klein look. Can you recommend a supplier that will fit me? I'm 46, just under 5'5" and 135lbs, fit no fat. Thanks
Some things I've found: Avoid large patterns. A big, blocky checkered shirt, for example, might overpower a small frame, whereas a small gingham pattern will blend into your pants better and help create that monochromatic look Antonio mentioned. I've also found that very vibrant or "different" coloured shirts or pants tend to make a short man look child-like or cartoonish. While a 6'1" guy might be able to pull off emerald green slacks, a really short guy will just look like a leprechaun. I'm not saying it can't be done, but it's a tricky one. I keep the bright colours as accents. Tuck in your damn shirts. It'll add inches to the length of your legs.
I am 5'4" tall and have a 28 inch waist. I weigh 130 lbs. and I am 33 years old. This video was right up my ally but what about the men that are short and have a small build. I lift weights and have a V shape body, athletic build, but still finding cloths is hard. I have found a brand sold at Kohls called APT 9. This brand makes a slim style, tailored fit and it comes a a extra slim fit, brilliant brand for short and small built guys. APT 9 does dress clothes, suits, athletic wear and casual attire, love this brand.
Antonio, great video! I wanted to give a suggestion for a video as I feel it may help me and alot of gents in the community aswell. Could you maybe do a video about how you should iron your dress shirts, polos, t-shirt and all? Because I know a lot of men, including myself spend hours ironing shirts and still end up with rincles. Maybe if you could put emphasis on if an ironing board is better than just a regular table for ironing and things like that. Would be highly appreciated. Thanks again for your videos!
Omg the being sent to the boy section is the story of my life. I love this suit style of fancy clothing,but at 5'3 I'm reduced to jeans that are too long and graphic tee to save money. Thanks man I'm going to review the heck out of this article.
Things to void as short man are: graphic tees and super skinny jeans. Try some rag & bone John varvatos those brands make very fitted clothes , I'm short man as well and weight 130. For casual looks try some Henleys, plain color V- necks and chukka boots. Hope it helps and if you are in your mid 20s it's going to help you look 21... 😉
Love this content. I learned to edit all my clothes myself becouse I've not got a huge budget but I love to dress nice. So that's one way to avoid the tailor tax.
Yeah nailing the fit is right on. No matter what, if your on either end of the spectrum of the norm it will be custom or tailored no matter what. To find something right off the rack is a treasure hunt unless you find a specialty store. Even then they might not carry your style or quality range as well. One thing about being short, you can always find something you can wear or tailor in. If your big and tall and outside the range the stores normally carry, there is nothing for you.
I'm a 5,5 teenager so my option are even more limited, because I can't wear suits and buttoned shirts or little kid clothes and i'm constantly getting taller so I can't make an investment in clothing.
Don't be ridiculous, dressing like this is in no way practical you don't need to invest in clothes you need to invest in things that bring more value like a car to get to work and tools for whatever job you decide whether thats a computer or a socket set
If you're getting a shirt, somewhere above mid-crotch should be fine...and make sure the back hem doesn't cover up the entire buttocks. For tees, I find that somewhere between upper to mid crotch makes me look taller as well. Although this illusion of added length won't do you any favors if the fit is too loose around the arms, chest, and stomach area, so make sure to nail the fit as well. I think shirts where you can pinch about 2 inches from either side have the best fit. For trousers, about the same principle for fit: if you can pinch 1-2 inches maximum from either side of your thigh all the way to your calves, then you're fine. Just make sure there isn't excess fabric as well at the bottom of your jeans to avoid 'breaks' (the bunching up/folds of jeans at the bottom when it hits the shoe). Good luck man. :)
Being about 5 foot 8(I should be closer to 5 foot 9, maybe 9.5 but my back is curved slightly) this was great to watch and learn from, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
this i understand too well, being 5"7 and 36' around the waist short legged and 100cm around the chest , and its impossible to get a suit that fits shirts ,vests and pants. And so i learnt to sew and made all my own clothing ,then i learnt to weave the fabric and finishing it , so i could have real clothing . That's why i looked good for years and the only jacket i had that i didn't make was my 1950's sports jacket white and grey ,brilliant wool jacket still got it and love it , goes with everything i have. Funny scarfs i can buy not a problem , gloves can be a problem , i have problem sometimes with shoes ,9.5 hard to find , your video was so helpful , thanks .........:-)
I'm 5'4 and I have a huge problem with finding a fitting shirt for me. Since I'm working out I have a big chest and big shoulders and therefore neither size 36(extra small), nor shirts from the kids department seem to fit. "Adult" shirts are often too long and kids shirts are too tight. Can anyone help me?
Thank you! I'm 5 foot 7, a leader at work so need to pay attention to dress details like this from now on. Having a girlfriend who's 6 foot 1 emphasizes it *lol*
Hey Antonio excellent video as always, do you any advice for short and fat guys like me? I feel like the videos that you make for short people and for short and sim and your videos for fat people are for large and big guys, do you have any advice besides lose weight to those that have both
Hi Antonio! I am grateful about what you are doing here. I am a tall and thin guy living In Namibia. and I really need your Help on Fashion. I have been struggling to get a proper suit or even shirts for a long time now. How will you help me. Kwatouta
I'm 5'8" and I do have issues finding clothing that fits right.... I have a quite large back and quite big quads (by nature). It's very hard to get the proportions right especially when it comes to pants.. It's almost impossible to find a shirt that fits just right because of my back..
Hi Antonio, at 0:41s, there's a picture of a model in a suit with a red tie. WOuld you know the name of the suit brand and what color is it? It looks bluish wth some purple tints. Thanks!
my issue is that I'm short, but I'm wide through the shoulders and hips, but have a narrow waist line. Also have a 20" neck. I can't find clothes anywhere.

It's not difficult to find clothing for short men. All you have to do is buy clothing from the Asian Market. The clothing fit me on point. 😎
Asian market? Can you be more especific?
Maybe if you're short and thin it's not hard. But yes back in the Philippines I'm an XL for shirts and a small in USA

20 years old and 5'1 so needless to say I've never felt like anything was made to fit me, it's a constant struggle to just fine regular clothes
Life is hard for us short guys.

Thank you, Antonio!
The straight line tip was very interesting. Even though I am not short it was definitely informative and worth watching. Thanks for sharing.
Super! Thanks for the great comments, Jim.
wow this really helps.... well, im 5'7" in i didnt really comprehend my look that suits with my height....... thanks for the tips.
This was an informative video and you were well dressed and confident.

Sweet man! Being only 145 pounds and 5'8" I've been waiting for this!
No way! He's based right out of NY, NY too
Awesome!
Your not even that short lol, I'm 5'10 lol
This happens to me very often - I'm glad that big things come in small packages - but, shit, being 5'5" is fucked - until I remove my god damn pants.
This was some good advice in this show, thank you.
Super - glad you find it helpful.
Seriously, that was a very insightful video and I am thankful for it!
Female here- I don’t mind if you’re short! Don’t feel insecure, there’s someone out there who likes you for you. Good luck guys!!
I don't even wear suits, but you're so knowledgeable about the subject that I enjoy your videos.

Antonio, wanted to say that you have a great channel, love the tips and advice you give. I use it every day!
do some videos for Indian shopping sites also.. which means international shopping sites.... great videos..ur videos are very inspiring..
Omg the being sent to the boy section is the story of my life. I love this suit style of fancy clothing,but at 5'3 I'm reduced to jeans that are too long and graphic tee to save money.
Thanks man I'm going to review the heck out of this article.
Dude, I know, right?
Sounds like a plan :)
Things to void as short man are: graphic tees and super skinny jeans. Try some rag & bone John varvatos those brands make very fitted clothes , I'm short man as well and weight 130. For casual looks try some Henleys, plain color V- necks and chukka boots. Hope it helps and if you are in your mid 20s it's going to help you look 21... 😉

Exactly! Don't sacrifice fit and comfort for style.
I'm a 5,5 teenager so my option are even more limited, because I can't wear suits and buttoned shirts or little kid clothes and i'm constantly getting taller so I can't make an investment in clothing.
Don't be ridiculous, dressing like this is in no way practical you don't need to invest in clothes you need to invest in things that bring more value like a car to get to work and tools for whatever job you decide whether thats a computer or a socket set

That's pretty amazing! I will send this to my petite friend for sure thanks Antonio!
Great! Appreciate it.
Could you make make a video for teens trying to dress sharp?
I'm 5'4 and this video is very helpful!

Ha! :)
Thank you so much Antonio! You answered my wishes and found a brand that fits me finally! Semper Fi Antonio
Antonio, Great video, Could you make a video on what parts of pieces of clothing is able to be tailored? (e.g. Collar, cuffs, buttons?)

Being about 5 foot 8(I should be closer to 5 foot 9, maybe 9.5 but my back is curved slightly) this was great to watch and learn from, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
You're not short, jackass!
T am tall so i dont often face this kind of issues but this is a very informative video for the short guys out there to get it right.
Thanks for watching :)
Detail oriented tips! Professional!

Great video as usual!
this i understand too well, being 5"7 and 36' around the waist short legged and 100cm around the chest , and its impossible to get a suit that fits shirts ,vests and pants.
And so i learnt to sew and made all my own clothing ,then i learnt to weave the fabric and finishing it , so i could have real clothing . That's why i looked good for years and the only
jacket i had that i didn't make was my 1950's sports jacket white and grey ,brilliant wool jacket still got it and love it , goes with everything i have. Funny scarfs i can buy not a problem , gloves can be a problem , i have problem sometimes with shoes ,9.5 hard to find ,
your video was so helpful , thanks .........:-)
Nice! Thanks for the advice..
Hello Sir,this is video information is very useful. Thank you very much.
Awesome video!
Thank you!
I'm 5'4 and I have a huge problem with finding a fitting shirt for me. Since I'm working out I have a big chest and big shoulders and therefore neither size 36(extra small), nor shirts from the kids department seem to fit.
"Adult" shirts are often too long and kids shirts are too tight.
Can anyone help me?
130lbs if thats important
Buy shirts from sites like Modern Tailor and Black Lapel, it's so worth it.
I'm 110 and 5'4. I find larges to fit fine but It would suck if by the time I bulk up none of those larges fit me

You might want to try Banana Republic, J crew , or John varvatos..
I needed this video. Thank you so much!
Thank you! I'm 5 foot 7, a leader at work so need to pay attention to dress details like this from now on. Having a girlfriend who's 6 foot 1 emphasizes it *lol*

Hey Antonio excellent video as always, do you any advice for short and fat guys like me? I feel like the videos that you make for short people and for short and sim and your videos for fat people are for large and big guys, do you have any advice besides lose weight to those that have both
I've had good luck with Zara when it comes to jackets and blazers. I'm short and thin so nothing ever fits. I'm 28 waist and 34-36 blazer size.
Thanks for looking out for us shorter than average guys Antonio!
apreciate your work. i would like you to use metric system also, for us in europe.
Thank you Antonio! I'm 5'5" and jackets are always too long. I also noticed people like my blue suit with vertical pin stripes.
You're welcome!
I am a midget. This is great.
How tall are you?
Thanks for the link
Thank you! The struggle is real.
I’m considered short and my height is a little over 5’9”. So is 5’9” considered short or tall?
Where can I find information about choosing colors that compliment my skin tone?

Which type of hair style best for my face..
I'm 5'8" and I do have issues finding clothing that fits right.... I have a quite large back and quite big quads (by nature). It's very hard to get the proportions right especially when it comes to pants.. It's almost impossible to find a shirt that fits just right because of my back..
Well expressed presentation.
Great video... I had trouble finding my size too.. too bad i'm not in US..
This is really good video.
I'm 5'5" and I buy my clothes in the Philippines,Thailand, S.Korea and China..
Stop using photos of tall men in a short men video. So deceiving.
Thank you so much I have been looking for a company that specializes is small male cloths :)
Hi Antonio, at 0:41s, there's a picture of a model in a suit with a red tie. WOuld you know the name of the suit brand and what color is it? It looks bluish wth some purple tints. Thanks!
my issue is that I'm short, but I'm wide through the shoulders and hips, but have a narrow waist line. Also have a 20" neck. I can't find clothes anywhere.
my favorite outfit is a baby blue shirt and a light pink dress shorts what color packet square should I use .
damn this guy knows his shit! thanks for the info, very eyeopening!
You look Handsome...👍
