AskAW 12 - Why I Dislike Anson Belts, Shoes For Shorter Men, Long Necks

About this video

Weston answers viewer questions about menswear styling, covering topics including dress shoes for shorter men, color coordination for pale skin tones in spring and summer, belt recommendations, and styling tips for tall, slim men with long necks. She addresses common style misconceptions and provides specific product recommendations throughout the episode.

Key takeaways

  • Weston argues there are no special clothing or shoe styles that shorter men should wear differently from taller men; they should focus on proper fit and tailoring while wearing classic styles like Oxfords, monk-straps, and Brogues
  • Weston recommends that pale-skinned men avoid light pink, red-toned, and orange colors in spring and summer because they lack sufficient contrast with skin tone, but can successfully wear darker versions of these colors
  • Weston advises tall, slim men with long necks to wear standing collars, shawl collars, dress shirts with two-button collars, and crew neck sweaters paired with collared shirts underneath to break up neck length and create better proportion
