I am a long-time watcher and a little person. To fellow short men (with or without dwarfism): l don't think these tips are meant to "hide" your height. Right fit/patterns/... are important to all, so wear what looks and feels good on you and be confident!!! As said in the video 😄 Thank you GG! Another great vid

Video is short cause being short is not the end of the world as long as you dress in nice fitting clothes.

As stated, fashion makes you look better. Still, if you don’t tick the box in height, fashion won’t fix it. If the woman accepts your height, only then does fashion make you more appealing. It is tough, but that is life. Since you don’t get into the room if height fails, fashion is always a positive because it makes you look better in the rooms that do admit you.

What first attracted you to the Billionaire short bloke - Bernie Ecclestone….

Good advice here. I'd emphasize tgat fit, cut, and posture are sort of the holy trinity of getting the most advantageous look. This because tgey will most directly contribute to the overall proportions.

My go-to is a bow tie and dress shirt, under a corduroy vest. The vertical lines of the vest draw to the horizontal line of the tie.

I'm actually 6'7" tall (200cm) and very slim. I've often heard that I should avoid vertical stripes, but I still wear them on shirts. I really like them and they make me feel more confident. I think that matters the most.

Jimmy stewart in the 50s completely changed my mind about more generously cut suits on a slim man.

A video on large body men would be great. Your models dream sizes compared little to the real world. Very few large men know how to look the best.

The sad part is many big guys just give up when it comes to dressing well. You can dress well but it takes alot of effort. I find our options are much more limited. Secondhand or thrift is almost non-existent. and retail prices are very expensive. Most clothing manufacturers dont even make anything pass a 2xl. I do dress well but thankfully i have cheap access to a seamstress. So that makes it much easier.

Do you have any videos on how to dress nice for the classic blue collar working man? I work in a factory, not an office but would still like to dress nice where a suit isn't going to be practical. I look at vintage photos and see men who still wore ties while working in factories. Even though a lot of them had bib overalls or denim jackets, they still managed to look better than 90% of factory workers you see now.

Your natural look is always relevant. The better you look without clothes the better you look with. That’s how it is. :)

Being tall makes buying vintage clothing difficult. Proper inseam and sleeve length are hard to find.

Love the GG videos ,they are so insightful . Am a follower long years. Great Team and Sven Raphael is a true gentleman and a blessing! and he is the perfect example of knowing how to dress with one s build and have full confidence. i work at a men's wear store so i often have to dress men for special occasions. I would say from experience in my store.. taller people often have lesser available options in terms of whats available to buy . It certainly is spot on that one needs to be informed about what patterns and styles are best suited for one's personal build.. Thankyou GG for another great video🙏🙌

@gentlemansgazette gotcha! On that note, I've been looking for brands that have styling like the periods depicted in Fallout. Fallout is a bit weird in that I that styles from the 20s-60s, but I'm basically looking for menswear, both formal and informal, that Harkins back to those styles. I've only had luck with denim brands from Japan, or Levi's, that replicate WW2 Era clothing or denim that models after specific decades. Do you know of anyone that still makes trousers, button downs, or other clothing that has mid century styling?

Very good video, guys. Thank you. Very useful! And yes, who wouldn’t love the Jack skellington look! That is one well tied bat around his neck! 😂
