“Clothes make the man.” The same can be said about his footwear, especially if he’s ‘vertically challenged’. The real challenge is matching the wardrobe to the figure. A very slim man can appear taller than he actually is by virtue of his slimness. A heavyset man can appear shorter than he is, simply because his rounded figure distracts from his actual height.

Your build (and fashion choices) will determine how tall you appear to be. If you haven’t thought about this before, it may be unfamiliar territory for you. When you look at yourself in the mirror, it may be hard for you to see the total view of your appearance.

Having fireproof confidence can make you seem like a giant, even if you have to look up at others to make eye contact. It’s all in the mind, your own and the minds of others.
