Tall Men Clothing Style Guide - Suits, Ties, Shirts, Fashion & Style Tips - Gentleman's Gazette

About this video

The Gazette team provides comprehensive styling guidance for tall men, addressing the unique fit challenges they face with off-the-rack clothing. They outline seven key style practices—including layering, odd combinations, visual proportion techniques, and custom tailoring—alongside six practices to avoid, emphasizing that proportion is essential for tall men to look balanced rather than accentuating their height.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that tall men should scale up all proportions in their clothing—wider lapels, longer ties, larger patterns, and bigger cuffs—to achieve visual balance rather than emphasizing height
• The Gazette team recommends wearing odd jacket-and-trouser combinations with horizontal visual breaks (belts, contrasting shoes) to divide the body and create the appearance of proportion
• The Gazette team emphasizes investing in made-to-measure or custom garments and professional alterations, as off-the-rack clothing is typically designed for men 6 feet and under and requires significant modification for taller frames
• The Gazette team advises avoiding vertical stripes, short sleeves, low-rise pants, single-breasted three-button jackets, and solid colors without texture, as these elements accentuate height
