You only get one chance to make a first impression.
 

At 6-foot, 5-inches, Jim is very tall! His body type is a trim "W" shape with his shoulders being wider than his hips. However, with his extreme height he tends to look long and lanky without the right clothes to show off his shape.

How did Jim get the results he wanted, to dress for success?

  • For Jim, hilighting shoulder and chest width is key. Jackets with structured shoulders and wider lapels are a must. 3 button sport coats with a higher stance or double breasted suit jackets are both great for enhancing that ideal "V" shape.
  • Length of tops and jackets are important too. You don't want to look like you've grown out of clothes that are too small. However, if they're too long, you'll be swimming in them.
  • For a tall man like Jim with a long neck, the standard collar or a button-down works best to balance with his own scale. A spread collar would be a big mistake for a man like Jim.
  • Tie width and tie knots should be appropriate to size of scale and bone. For Jim, a full Windsor knot and a tie with horizontal stripes are best to help visually break up some of his height and show width where he needs it most.
  • Anything with chest details; breast pockets, horizontal chest stripes, pocket hankies, etc are all valuable in adding some visual breadth across the shoulders.
  • For Jim, mid-width pants with a cuff at the bottom are ideal. They keep his legs from looking "stork-like" and the cuff brings balance at the bottom.
  • Color can play a very important part in dressing, whether it's for the office or more casually. The right colors make our skin look healthy, while the wrong shades will make us look green, gray, yellow or pale and sickly.
  • By wearing his accent colors in ties, pocket hankies, coat-scarves and other accessories., Jim can make his dazzling eye color sparkle!
  • Bright white and true black only look their best on one color palette. In this case, Jim's the lucky one. However, men especially should be cautious not to wear very white shirts if their teeth aren't very white also. Nothing will show off yellow teeth like a bright white shirt does!
  • A new side part in Jim's hair, brings focus to the "softer side" of his very angular featured face. Doing this helps to give Jim's face a more open, even and less sharp-featured look.
