Body type: quick answers

How should short men dress?
Keep everything close-fitting and cropped to your proportions: shorter jackets, no extra fabric at the ankle, and similar colors top to bottom so the eye reads one long line.
What should bigger guys wear?
Pieces that skim rather than cling or balloon, darker tones on top, open layers like an overshirt or unstructured blazer, and a straight-leg trouser. Fit matters more than size on the label.
