If you’re a short, stocky guy, you know how hard it can be to find clothes that fit well. This guide will help!

It’s always the length that gets you, right? Something that fits well around the chest might go way past your wrists. Your jacket just hangs below your butt. Your pants need to be rolled over and over again.

But because you’re stocky, you can’t just pick up something with the perfect length – unless you want to look like you’re wearing tights.

Your strong build basically ensures that everything you own has extra fabric dangling below your waist and pooling at your ankles.

We’ve got you covered, though. We’ve put together a list of seven style tips you need to know if you’re a stocky gent.

Tip #1: Get Everything Shortened

Why is it that every fashion brand features models that are 6’2” and wearing size medium. How many of us even know a person with those proportions?

Super annoying!

You may not think about it when your shirt is in the shopping cart (though you can’t help but notice when you first try it on), but a 40” chest shirt will look different on a 6’2” guy than a 5’7” guy – even if they both have the same size chest.

Do you have the build of a fullback? Powerlifter? Bodybuilder during a bulk?

Well, we feel your pain. It’s like every shirt you buy off the rack is way too long to wear untucked.

So you’re tired of always tucking in your shirts and rolling up your sleeves. What can you do? The best solution is to get those shirts tailored.

Make sure you find a shirt that fits shoulders and neck, then getting the length and sleeves shortened is a breeze.
