Help me understand proportions
I’m here from Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/malefashionadvice/s/N0MjcQDBgI). Based on responses I need to look into cropped/short cut shirts, but I also may not have as much of a problem as I thought?
I’ve always been afraid to tuck in my shirts because of my long legs and short torso. I understand this is a good thing and many people have the opposite problem, but I never really felt comfortable with the tuck because I thought it actually made my legs too long and threw me off balance. The commenter that referred me here actually said I could go high waisted and look ok, which has never crosses my mind.
I think I am my own worst critic and misunderstand my proportions. Where should I be aiming to have my waistline with a tuck? Where do I want a shirt to hit untucked? How can I actually dress for my build?
