Style tips
Short
Don't wear shoes with built-in heels, or high cowboy boots - they don't make you look taller.
Don't wear your trousers too short or add massive turn-ups.
Do wear sleeves and trousers, as long as you can without them looking swamped - it can add an extra inch.
Do go for vertical patterns, stripes, single-breasted jackets, straight-leg trousers or jeans, and narrow ties.
Tall
Don't wear jackets done right up, avoid zips down the front, and avoid wearing the same colour head to toe.
Don't wear pinstripe suits, vertical patterns, jackets that end at the waist or very thin ties.
Do think about longer jackets, double-breasted suits and trousers with a low waist.
Do try lower cut trendy jeans in dark denim and layering different length tops and jackets.
Bulky
Don't wear tops or jackets with extra padding or loud ties and avoid doing shirts right up.
Buy the correct neck size for formal shirts (or half an inch bigger) and never wear a small watch on a thick wrist.
Don't wear bulky jumpers or cable knits and forget about polo neck jumpers. Avoid turn-up trousers or stiff fabric.
Do wear v-necks, jumpers or shirts with a vertical pattern, shirts with narrow or open collars, ties in a single discreet colour, subtle pinstripes and high-buttoned jackets with three or even four buttons.
Do wear tighter lightweight tops in dark colours, fine knitwear that skims rather than swamps the body, and wear easy/relaxed-fit jeans.
Lean
Don't wear v-neck shirts or jumpers and avoid narrow ties.
Don't wear vertical stripes, pinstripe suits, shiny fabrics or very tight fitting tops that hug your shoulders tightly.
Do wear padding in jackets and waistcoats over T-shirts, check suits and double-breasted jackets.
Do wear baggy low-slung combat trousers, cargo pants with pockets on the sides, horizontal details on tops, bulky knit sweaters and polo necks. Button shirts up to the max.
