Short answer
Wear a single-breasted suit with a shorter jacket, higher button stance and slim trousers. Keep details simple and avoid long jackets or wide lapels. A good tailor can adjust proportions to lengthen your silhouette.
For a short groom, the aim is to create a clean, vertical line that makes you look taller and more balanced. Choose a single-breasted jacket with a shorter length, so it does not overwhelm your frame. The button stance, where the top button sits, should be slightly higher than usual. Lapels should be narrow or medium, not wide. Trousers should be slim through the leg, with a slight break or no break at the hem, and worn at your natural waist. Avoid cuffs on trousers, as they can shorten the leg. A two-piece suit is often better than a three-piece, because a waistcoat can cut the line of your torso. Dark colours like navy, charcoal or black help create a continuous silhouette. Keep accessories simple: a slim tie, a pocket square, and shoes with a slight heel if you want extra height. Make sure the jacket sleeves show a little shirt cuff, and the trouser length is correct. A skilled tailor is essential, because off-the-peg suits often need significant adjustments for shorter men. You can also consider a made-to-measure suit, which will be cut to your exact proportions. The result will be a sharp, confident look that feels natural.
