How to Look Taller and Leaner | 5 Style Principles You Should Follow

- Check out the NEW (and improved) version of this video - • 10 Ways to Look Taller...
There are certain techniques you can use to make sure your clothing and accessories are making you look as tall and lean as possible. Obviously, your clothes can't actually MAKE you taller, but they can have a visible impact on your perceived stature.
In this video, I teach you five style principles you can use to make sure your clothes and accessories are working FOR you, not against you. Here are the five tips:
00:54 #1: Make sure your clothes fit
02:36 #2: Make sure your accessories are proportionate
03:53 #3: Don't cut yourself in half with contrast
05:03 #4: Wear small scale patterns
06:00 #5: Avoid low-rise pants
If you follow these five principles, you will look like the lean, handsome devil you really are. And if you want more "dress tall" tips, check out my free guide (link below).
And remember: there's NOTHING wrong with being short. If anyone tell you differently, they're just insecure about their own body and personality. Don't worry about your height. Instead, focus on things you can actually control, like trying to dress well every single day!

Brock, I tried these tips and now I'm looking taller and leaner than ever. Tie these tips in with my cowboy boots and it's off the chain.
Dammit, Eric...what did I tell you about using my tips? THEY'RE NOT FOR YOU.
Killer boots, though.
I'm gonna get myself some boots next. Thanks for the tip, bro!

Nice info
Girls don't need to be tall, tall girl is like a short guy
@@brutal6129 that’s your opinion, and a generalisation. A girl can appreciate a video tailored towards men, get over yourself.
Same here.
I love the positive message at the end.
Wearing colors that complement your skin tone is something that people usually don't think about.
Its something men* dont usually think about
what if you have tattoos?
If you have tattoos you will look awesome anyway. Just remember that that dark skin complements well with light colored clothing and vice versa.
I do but that's because I have Irish skin and dark colours make it worse .

Hey Brock, Big fan. Keep up your good work. We love all your videos and would love to see more.
Thanks Syed! Working on getting more out each week.

Hey thanks man! Really appreciate the encouragement.
I had one big checker pattern, shirt. now i came to know why it looked bad. I will now wear clothes with small patterns. Little things do make big differences!!! Thank you!!! :)
It's all about the details!
Your tailoring guides are incredibly helpful!
+Dennis Cheng glad to hear that!
I agree with everything except for the contrast part.
I'd argue that you can also wear highly contrasting outfits as long as One is exhibiting an aesthetically pleasing figure aka *1/3* , which consists of creating a assemble in which your legs make two-thirds of your outfit, while your torso only makes up the remaining one.
It can easily be demonstrated with the given example you provided on this channel:
You had a black T-shirt [short sleeve] and a white T-shirt [ short sleeve ] outfit worn with what seems to be seen dark pair of denim or "performance chinos". The prior undoubtedly looks worse when compared to the latter----but I'd argue the reason for it doesn't lie within the contrast itself, but rather a strong divide emphasized by the tee that's rather too long.
Latter, somewhat darker ansemble successfully hides the imperfections within the waist area, while the prior outfit indeed kinda cuts you in half by making your legs and arms seem shorter while simultaneously making your upper body longer, which kinda makes you being perceived as a shorter guy....and it *HOLDS TRUE* .
However----I'd argue that if you decide it's a wise idea to make a few minor tweaks to the prior outfit by tucking in your tee within m-rise pants [or a high-rise pair], you'd end up with a 1/3 silhouette, which would make you seem even taller when compared to a low contrast assemble, mostly because of the reality in which length of the legs will be emphasized by the contrasting top [darker elongating pair of pants--light top], and your armspam would seem longer compared to the overall body...as your upper half would consequently end up bein'dd relatively shorter.
By doing that you aren't eliminating negative effects created by the contrast, but by doing that One uses the contrast itself to work in his own favor, which is kinda a badass BoSS move----DON'T YOU THINK!?
The same holds true with casual jackets [denim...harringtons]:
The only reason those work best with the low contrasting assemble is due to the reality in which an *XS* or *S* of most brands [smaller unit of preferable size] provides an uniformed back length, which is sitting around *24½* to *25'* , which is again ideal for a *6'* person, which means anything below the ideal height would be met with the unpleasant fit, which shall be way too long for most folks. I know this because as a *5'11"* guy [ *5'10⅓* ]...I usually need to order a custom jacket with a length of *22½* to *23'* for it to fit right. Sometimes *24'* is acceptable tough, but everything longer impacts the overall aesthetics, which limits my options, which is not ideal and definitely not preferable. Even brands that are priding themselves in catering to shorter people appear way too conservative when it comes to the overall length and are obviously catering to mass production, which kinda sucks and definitely can be interpreted as a tad bit problematic.
If you're athletic, it's even worse, because the other measurements then also need to be accustomed to your body [ for instance a setup of *M* -shoulders.. *XS* waist ... *S* chest].
So...I usually order a jacket that fits within the shoulder area with the desirable back of *22½* , and a *38* chest with a roomier waist OFC, and after that I take it to my tailor to make the desired drape; fits like a glove afterwards. But yeah...I think the contrast itself is not the problem. The contrast when the tee needs to be altered to appear a few *'* shorter however...well, let's just assume that another pair of shoes you have there.
Examples of guys who were/are short to mid-sized bit appearing quite tall relative to their measured height while sportin'
contrasting outfits would be J. Dean or Brad Pitt.
The prior one was *5'6"* while appeared as a *5'9* to *5'10"* guy, despite being the icon of the contrasting assemble [white tee, indigo blue jeans...darker pair of boot and/or shoes...acompanied by the red iconic blouson sported within few scenes "RWAC" and used as a personal garment afterward], while Brad Pitt is one of the average height guys but can appear to be perceived as tall as *6'1"* [depending on the situation]
Cropped tops are what you need and everything else shall follow. You can argue that individual proportions also matter, but then I can argue that perception of those can be altered by clothing [to a degree] and that your's appear to be pretty darn decent [for your size]...so there's no visible contradiction.
Low contrast resolution seems like limiting my options a bit too much.
Here's another example:
Both of the guys are approx six fit (according to the chart), but One is using the modified custom length of a medium-sized garment, while the other one has been wearing a regular large [presumably similar 📏 as the regular *M *] :
(1)
www.thejacketmaker.com/Alex-Distressed-Burgundy-Leather-Jacket.html
(2)
www.thejacketmaker.com/Bomia-Ma-1-Brown-Leather-Bomber-Jacket.html
Which One do you think appears more aesthetically pleasing and why ?
I think it's due to the modified length.
It may be just a few inches...but those few inches make a HUGE difference. If I had a penny mvery time one of my partners made the given remark...
But perhaps it's just my interpretation.
Anyhow...to summarize my conclusion:
*I think that high-contrasting outfits are definitely not SO good...WHEN THE CONTRAST WORKS AGAINST YOU...AND NOT IN YOUR FAVOUR. *
If the latter one is the case...then the contrast is even desirable I'd say.
P.S. Love some of your outfits... especially suit supply stuff & field jacket combinations.

As someone with little to no fashion sense, but a desire to improve it, I'm glad to have found your channel.
VERY good video, no one talks about style this specifically, everyone covers the same old stuff and you do the opposite, very nice brock!
So glad that this channel exists! I'm a young adult and am only about 5' 4". Finding well-fitting clothing is a nightmare.
Same as me just 5.3
Learn to sew via youtube, (lots of men are doing it now) and you will be able to alter off the rack clothes to fit you. It will save you a fortune, you'll look good, and feel better too. Plenty of second hand sewing machines on ebay, maybe go for a vintage Singer? Most guys like the engineering in them, and often post videos on how to look after them as well as sew on them.
Just buy women's clothes if you're short trust me they look much better ;)
Just found out your channel and surprised by the extra amount of wisdom you gave at the end of this video. Subscribed!
Great info......I'm a towering 5ft6 and never really think of height but I will say this.......many people think I'm much taller because the way I dress and the confidence I have.....thank you and keep up the good work!
Since i bought your ebook im hooked ever since. One of youtuber that has this sense of purpose and not just making video just for the sake of making videos.
+Clayton Rushgreen wow thanks man! Really appreciate that.
Love this page and this dude is pretty damn knowledgable.
The contrast thing is something I was starting to realize, thanks for confirming!
Brock, Is anyone really and truly happy with their, height, weight, body type?...simple truth is NO, these tips can be applied to not only shorter men i.e.
White t-shirt and black pants is the most classic, simple and greatest combo you can get. And I absolutely love it for a walk.
I beg to differ on the advice for pant rise. For people with short torsos, wearing low to mid rise pants can help elongate the torso and balance the ratio of the torso to the legs. Long legs i believe does not always mean aesthetically pleasing. A proportioned body would look better, or maybe its a matter of preference. Good job on the video though :)
d3rdlaw agreed that if you have long legs, low rise can be flattering. It's just not the case for most shorter guys.
d3rdlaw exactly my thoughts
further low rise pants should be preferred as with short guys and high rise pants there is a bunching of fabric on the buttocks and the lower groin area which makes short guys look even shorter. I agree with the rest just this part I think he got wrong

Perfect tips! Love it!
Gusher Felter thanks for watching!
I never watch a person talk in this perfection before in any TH-cam video, because the theme of your video is related with your every single sentences.Hope you motivated by my little complement and shot stuff as this ....
Great videos Brock! Your demeanor is just like how you are in person. Very genuine 😊
Thanks Brock... on point again with some quality tips!

Finally a young man that knows about wardrobe!!
This video earned you a subscriber, mate! Love from India🖤
This is very usefuly information as I've recently lost weight to a point where I look ''normal''. Definitely going to update my whole wardrobe.
I love the video man, really useful for me because im just 5'5.
Welcome to the club!
Tom Hunks hey bro, I’m 5’7. I just bought Levi’s 505 jeans. They have a higher rise so it makes my legs look longer and taller!
You are a genius dude. Thanks for breaking it down for the rest of us!! You rock bro!!!
Didn't think I'd get anything out of this video, being 6'4, but that last tip is pretty good. My torso is insanely long and makes my legs look kinda short.
Great video man! And nice outro, so true!
Willem Van Ransbeeck thanks! I was hoping people would enjoy the outro.
First video I've ever seen by you and I'm hooked. Liked and subscribed.
+Destiny Garcia awesome!
Destiny Garcia same! First video and subscribed just halfway through.
5'2" and transmasculine. was super helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Dope video, great content, perfect music, great 5th watch selection too! lol
The last part is so true. I’m 16 this year and had worried of my height since I was 14. I am now 173cm(5’8) and I do hope to get to 178cm(5’10) by the time I am 18, which is a tall height for an Asian in my country. Pray for me ppl, really appreciate it
Really hope u grow taller . I'm 16 too and 5'7 but I went to the doctors and found out that I've reached my potential height , the doctor said there is a strong chance that I might grow another 2 cms , so 172 is my limit . For the record , my dad is 5'8.5 and my mom is 5'0 and I have a older sister who is 5'5 .
Lol, I’m asian and I hate my height (5’3). 🥺
Hercules lol same brother im 18 and 5’3😖
Most TH-cam men’s fashion are a joke, this one I like, the pointers are all on the spot. Don’t matter your height or build type, The goal for men to look hot is leaner & taller.
Wow I didn't know the last few tips. Real informative man keep it up!
Very informative. I particularly appreciate the last piece of info about talking others down because they are short. It is true that it does show hie inferior one can be. You the man. Continue producing great work...
I'm 6'2 but I still feel short in front of my friends lol, that's why I'm here.
Are you kidding legit 6’2 is really tall
@@AFT_05G "among my friends"
I personally love contrast between the tops and bottoms half of my fit (luckily I am pretty tall so I don't have to worry about the height issue) and it adds a LOT of pop to outfits. Not great for a lot of super formal events but casual outfits and streetwear fits contrast can be great.
It's good to hear from you again Brock!
+Malaquias Alfaro thanks man!
Excellent tips.
subtle things do make a big difference
+Apurva Kumar Joshi yeah they add up!
Alright alright alright...
this was my first video from this channel and I liked and subscribed....really great content
Thanks man!
You kinda read my mind on the contrast and patterns thing. Just the other day, I was thinking "If I had a youtube style channel, I would give this advice". About the "low rise" tip, I think the challenge there is that most slim/skinny fit styles I find are typically also low rise. It's hard to find high rise, slim pants, as far as I can tell.
stan_sprinkle you're right. I'll try to do a round up of slim fit mid rise jeans soon.
Good job! I love this Video.
Great video coming from a shorter guy 5'6
Amazing tips. Double thumbs up.
Really nice tips, you're the man! Keep up the good work!
your voice is so soothing =)
+ternitamas believe it or not, I've been told that before. Also that it's really boring. Different sides of the same coin, I guess 😏
nah, not boring, I like it, it calms me down while I learn some fashion stuff at the same time =)
I'm six three and these videos are still great.
thanks buddy..u motivated me at the end of this video..love u..nice motivating lines.
Excelente video!! i did'n notice the high rise tip! I fact those pant i hate them but i gonna use it often. Thanks!!
Funny thing is that all tips sems to work for my body type except the high rise one! My torso is crazy short with legs that rival my 4-inch-taller-than-me mates! If I wear something high rise I'll end up looking like Lewis Skolnick LOL
Hi Brock. Great video. I’m 5’11” but I follow your advice...they work well with me as well. Great videos as always. Hope you get at least 500k subscribers by end of 2018
Sorry for the wrong grammar. Correct phrase should be “...they work well for me.”
Very good and helpful information summed up nicely, but also excellent speaking and presentation. Thank you!
Good on you for that final message.

Super good advices. Thank you.
I’m 64 and retired. I’m NEVER going to a job interview again in my life mo- fo ‘s!! 😜
I'm short at 5'10 and I always wear a white shirt with black shorts and either white or grey shoes. Does that contrast too much?
+Merle Therrien I don't think 5'10" is short.
I'm 5'11" and I feel short, my dad was 6'-2" ....maybe that;s why
Anything above 5'7 i consider tall, be lucky im only 5'6
5 ft 10 is not short.. unless you're comparing your self to guys in the top 5% of height. Western society has made height a big deal. Due to the feminization of men. Women now only see masculinity in height. I'm 5 ft 7 my height doesn't hinder me. I get the women I want and make a good living. It's all about attitude. You will get women that won't want to date you. But who gives a fuck. They aren't important. I like being my height it has become an advantage in life. I feel bad for other guys that never figure this out. They never live their life to its fullest potential. Maybe I should start a class in how to use their height to their advantage.
so happy that i found your channel!
+Prince Prince 😎
I want to say: thank you very much!. I am a short guy, and your advices have really helped me a lot, I apply each one of them. Thanks, great work!.
You're very welcome, Jose. Thanks for watching!

Great guy knows what’s he’s talking about
Brother, do you have a video where you show how to do YOUR hair and what products YOU use
I love your style combinations bro
Big stripes are best friends for all guys with longer torsos than legs. They will make your torso proportional to your legs. Well if you are already very short it is not recommended, but if you have legs shorter than the torso you will get pros
I feel like watching a grown up Dipper from Gravity Falls making these videos. Brock's voice is sooooo similar. 😃
Hyy, what about short torso guy ? My height is 5'4.
Hey Brock! I just started watching your videos and I really enjoy your solid, understanding advice! It's Great to have you as someone I can watch and be inspired by! keep up the good work Bro;)
this was very helpful ... i agree with every single point you said. Cheers bro

I'm 5'6" without shoes, 128 lbs, 37" chest. I think my legs are longer than usual for that height because I wear 29x30 pants. But I really struggle to find good fitting tops. Usually XS is too long and pretty tight for me at the same time.
I really like the high rise pants tip. Thanks!!
love your voice bro
Great tips!! I had no idea about men’s fashion. Since I married to my husband (5”9), I wanted to make him look at least 2 inches taller! Now I can do it :D
