At StyleCon, you expect to see lots of well-dressed men. Tall, short, skinny, athletic, hefty…whatever. They’re all well above average in terms of style.

But I was particularly impressed this year with the men of modest height. You know that it takes a lot of extra effort to dress well as a shorter man – mostly because nothing fits properly off the rack.

So when I see a shorter gent in a perfectly tailored, thoughtful outfit, I’m dually impressed. Luckily, I had my camera with me to document all of the awesome getups I saw this year at StyleCon.

Note: StyleCon has been renamed Menfluential, so next year’s conference will be called Menfluential 2018).

This post is just a showcase of some of the most stylish shorter men who attended the conference. If you want my full recap of StyleCon 2017, watch this video:

StyleCon 2017 Pictures and Reflections ?

Ok, let’s look at the photos!

It was a pleasure to meet Kian this year. Above is our outfits from day one of StyleCon. I went with a conservative navy/grey/black color scheme.

From left to right: Pete Sveen, me and Paul McGregor. Pete is a fellow man of modest height and an extremely successful entrepreneur.

His main focus right now is DIY Pete, a blog and YouTube channel that teaches people how to do all sorts of cool DIY projects.

Pete has also been stepping up his style game, and he was looking very sharp this year!

Paul McGregor isn’t a man of modest height, but he is a very handsome and charming Brit who gave an awesome talk about personal development. Be sure to check out his website and subscribe to his YouTube channel.

Robert Ordway (around 5’8?) actually ran a custom menswear boutique, so he knows a thing or two about style and fit. I wish I had captured his suit from the first day, but this casual outfit is on point too!

This is an example of expert color coordination between the shirt, pocket square and lapel flower. They don’t match exactly (i.e., not the same colors), but they look great together.
