Towering but not so powerful. Suits for the slender man of great stature.

By Victor M. Santerino

With clothing styles transforming everyday it means a lot that a tall slender man keep up with the current fads. Of course it is also necessary that you feel at ease with the clothes you put on.

Feeling at ease is harder if you are extremely tall and slender and you can only feel comfortable if you have on a suit that fits you very well. First of all, if your suit does not fit you definitely won't feel good because you will be very self conscious of your appearance when you wear your suit.

Of the many factors in choosing a suit, making sure that the person assisting you with the suit obtains the correct measurements is key. Otherwise you will have a suit too wide or too tight giving an awkward hanging appearance. Another factor is the material. A heavier weight material is preferable to a lightweight fabric because it will avoid accentuating a tall slim frame. Wool and tweed fabrics are good choices for suits for tall and slim men.

When a tall person makes a decision to purchase a new suit he should always pick lighter tones. A black or Navy blue suit will make a tall person look thinner but a light gray or light blue will make a tall person look bigger. It appears to be this way.

Certainly avoid any suit or other clothing for that matter with vertical stripes. Patterns are better and horizontal stripes the best, although it would probably be difficult to purchase a suit with bold horizontal stripes.

The precise fit is so important because if your clothes are too baggy the impression will be that there is very little body inside them. If your clothes are too tight a fit all you will succeed in doing is emphasizing that same point.

Also it is very important that you don't wear a jacket with any kind of shoulder pads. You would look like a gridiron quarterback without the muscles.

If you are tall but you are not dressed right you might look silly. This would be alright it you wanted to be taken as a joke. However, be certain to accept the suggestions previously mentioned to help you do your best with what nature gave you. There isn't any reason for a tall svelte man to look like a tall slender man.
