The 5 tips every short man should know:

• Be honest with yourself. Admit you're short and buy short length suits.

• A pant leg with very little break will help you look taller.

• Show some cuff to lengthen the look of your arms.

• A peak lapel helps elongate your physique.

• A lower button stance creates long lines, and that essentialy stretches you out.

The 5 tips every tall man should know:

• Lighter Colours add width to a narrow frame.

• A two-button suit works great on a tall man - as long as the suit has relatively high-cut lapels.

• Just because you are tall doesn't mean you don't need an extra-long suit size. Try on a long first.

• Keep the amount of cuff you show to a minimum.

• Ask for a decent amount of break in your trousers, so your long legs don't look too long.
