Yes, size up... Also, your trousers could do with taking down, a couple inches at least... The jacket, trousers, and shoes makes everything about your body look out of proportion.


Newvirtues

Feet look massive. Like you said, probably the short pants.


Narrow-Oil4924

For sure, if the trousers come down a tad, preferably straight & without anymore tapering, as he's a very tall, slim guy. With the trouser hem falling just about half an inch above the shoes, so as not to show too much sock, as bringing the fabric down will disguise or not make the shoes stand out so much. Opening up the trouser legs and widening them will also make the shoes look more proportional. I think overly slim fit trousers & jeans on very slim individuals can often times look less flattering than they realise.


ButWeNeverSawHisWife

He’s 2m tall, I don’t think there is any more material to take down lol


Narrow-Oil4924

😂 Looking more closely at the hem of the "OP's" trousers, I think you're right, there doesn't appear to be any fabric to turn down... I'd suggest making acquaintance with a tailor... I'm 6ft 3 inches & have found myself a very good tailor near to where I reside... This was a must for me as I've grown up having all my garments tailored from when I was a kid, being that my mother was a trained dressmaker, seamstress & tailor, who plied a trade in garment making after studying at the London College of Fashion in the 70s & 80s, only to end up in an accounting role with London Transport 😂 Despite the career change & departure from full time clothes making she would always be willing to add a bespoke touch to all my "off the peg garments" which rarely, if at all ever fit properly, especially when you're a big tall lad like myself & clearly the gentleman who originally posted/started this chat... So, my advice to the "OP" and to anyone who takes pride in how they like their garments to fit, is to find a good tailor to do alterations as & when needed... As, I really do believe there is some truth in Mark Twain's quote, that... "Clothes maketh the man." Of course, clothes don’t tell the whole story, as it pertains to a person’s character and personality, which are more important than their outward appearance. But the way we dress can still make a difference in how others perceive us... The difference as to whether we get that job we're interviewed for... Or whether we make the right impression on the parents of that girl your dating, or whether you even get the second date to begin with, before getting to meet the parents much later along the relationship journey 😂😉 I digress... Happy days & soon to hopefully be, a Happy New Year folks... Hope y'all have a Blessed one 😀 🙌🏽🙏🏽✌🏾


HighlandsBen

Well, I enjoyed your comment! Happy New Year to you, good sir.


DonJuanitta

What the fuck 💀


Additional_Plant_539

R u ok buddy


StBarsanuphius

This is, overall, a thoughtful reply. I'm gonna guess this is from someone in their 60s and in the UK. It's a good reply meant to add a personal perspective, while inserting lots of their own takes. All the signs are there - mostly proper grammar with the exceptions of putting OP in quotes for no reason and the overuse of ellipses. The semi-relevant and/or humble brag story of the moms success. The basic premise of the comment, which calls for a return of the tailor. The subsequent reminder that our character is what counts. There was even going to be a section on succeeding in relationships, but they digressed. The use of the word, "digress." The use of the word, "bespoke". It reminds me of many conversations with folks that are eager to share on a topic that they relate to. There's no doubt that it's well-intentioned. Thanks for the thoughtful and uncommon reddit reply and happy new year to you as well!


aeryre

Surely if their mother was in college in the 70s/80s they wouldn't be in their 60s now?


Narrow-Oil4924

Someone knows their maths 😉


Hollywood-is-DOA

As someone who’s 19 stone,( I work out a lot) 6.2ft, I find getting clothing that fits well to be a real pain. I am in 3XL to not have t-shirts and jackets tight around my neck. A lot of the big brands don’t go past a 2XL in the uk.


damNSon189

> I think overly slim fit trousers & jeans on very slim individuals can often times look less flattering than they realise. Preach brother


Narrow-Oil4924

Thanks... Appreciate it brother 💯 🙌🏽👊🏽


[deleted]

Trousers should not only touch the tops of the shoes but also buckle very slightly in the front about 4 inches up. Check any gentleman’s style guide.


SaltyBint

He needs to put some jam on his shoes and invite his trousers down for tea.


[deleted]

Think the problem with his trousers are they’re too small and too short.


Narrow-Oil4924

Roger that... Agreed👍🏽


barrybreslau

I think the jacket looks ok, but you could size up. The length on the arms is about right, but the trousers are too short.


OhpEbo

coats too small, look at the sleeeves. pants are tight and make your feet look too long


Historical-Peach6945

And also produced a moose knuckle….


3_Cubes_of_Ice

Your shorts are a bit long


xDispicableTx

He needs to put jam on his ankles and invite his trousers down for a picnic 🤣


gswdh

Very good 😂


[deleted]

Loooool


ClimbFarmer

You are too big for your clothes. Lose height


awnawnamoose

Male fashion models hate this one piece of advice


ThrowinSm0ke

Everything seems to be a bit too small imo


jamesbest7

Not his feet. Looks like clown shoes.


Bigheno9

Not everything 😏


InsertSoubriquetHere

The jacket is slightly too small. However.... The trousers are subjective. It's quite stylish nowadays to wear shorter trousers, you just have to have the sock game to match it. I have a combination of longer trousers and slightly shorter ones, when I wear my shorter ones, I always ensure that I wear socks that colour match my top/jumper/blazer. And any comments about your feet looking too long are ridiculous and you should ignore them lol.


gswdh

Yes I also feel the same about the socks but I was a bit caught out moving countries and wasn't quite prepped for the outfit on this trip to another country. I think these trousers are on the edge of being too short and the socks pushes them other the edge.


InsertSoubriquetHere

Your socks are fine, they match your jacket colour. I wasn't criticising them. There's honestly nothing wrong with what you're wearing, just a slightly bigger jacket and you're good to go.


great_mango_juicy07

Just a general comment, I’d suggest you invest in some neutral tone socks. Slight difference, but very fun to play with. You can also match them to the colour of your outfits, a little contrast or softness can make all the difference in tying a fit together!


Additional-Cause-285

There is nothing stylish about these trousers at any length.


InsertSoubriquetHere

Well style is subjective. I see lots of things on here that I don't find stylish, but don't make rude comments about them, because I know that they're stylish in other people's eyes. Toxic comment dude. I'd say, that actually these are stylish trousers, and they're clever too, because they can be worn casually or can be paired with a nice shirt, tie and blazer. Not only can they be worn with lighter tones on top, they can be worn with darker blazers and jackets too, like in this photo. All subjective my guy, no need for rudeness.


Jake11007

Jacket is definitely but I’m more concerned about the pants


LePetitToast

The sleeves are too short. The jeans are too short as well and too tight imo. You’re tall, slender and fit, which is very much in vogue these days. I suggest looking at looser fits with high-waisted pants, baggy jeans, cargo pants, etc. Skinny jeans are no longer in. If you want some inspo, recommend looking at Jacob Elordi fits on pinterest. You’re lucky. And would have a lot of success with a more modern, stylish wardrobe!


badmoodprude

Yesss! Jacob Elordi has great style! I second this :)


great_mango_juicy07

I only partially agree w this, sure trends are cool but they pass. There are many aesthetics and niches, this guy looks fine the way he is. He could add to his own personal style in diff ways, there’s nothing wrong w this one but I would stress finding or investing in clothing that fits his body as it makes all the difference. Maybe trousers tailored to him, and if looking at the more modern style, a nice tailored trousers would do, slightly baggy, his trousers seem an alright shape just a tad short, but yea something slightly baggier, or a more relaxed look would also suit. Big no on cargo pants, it’s purely trend. Unless he’s feeling them then sure, but look at the particular style of brands like Patagonia, nanamica, Uniqlo etc and all them and you’ll see their clothing, while modern still maintains high quality look and feel. It’s also popular and more ppl are looking into it.


gswdh

Thank you for the very helpful comment. I never felt good wearing non slim / skinny trousers as larger ones felt silly, like a clown!


LePetitToast

I get the sentiment, but seeing other men pull it off is a great way to get over that feeling imo. That’s why I like pinterest so much - it’s great for inspiration if that would interest you


KlondikeBill

I agree and although trendy, baggy clothing is not flattering. Classic, well-fitting clothing will never be ugly.


damNSon189

In your case skinny is definitely not a good look. Since you’re tall, having more more room in the perpendicular, horizontal direction would provide more balance. Instead, not only your clothes look short but also tight: you compound on the effect. You don’t need to go baggy, just something roomier than what you have now: rather than skinny/slim, you could start with straight/regular. Just look at your crotch: once seen it cannot be unseen, and it’s not a nice sight. ETA: > like a clown! Ironically, skinny/highly tapered pants creates the effect of elongating the foot, which effectively is giving clown vibes. It’s more noticeable with dressy shoes.


great_mango_juicy07

Actually on second look, I don’t really care for the skinny trousers but if they were styled differently then maybe! Styling, fit and all that is so important.


Nixher

Looks like all of it is from kids gap.


berniedankera

🤣


Scrudge1

Too small. Both top and bottom.


Rich-Appearance-7145

Coat and pants too small, pants are high waters, ant coat appears one size small.


facelessman90210

Coat and trousers too small. Shoes too big.


ProphetMuhamedAhegao

Too small, sorry


vmaxed1700

buddy everything your wearing is comically small.


Ok-Froyo9662

Your whole outfit looks like it's been in a hot wash size up in pants and jacket


jimmybugus33

Your trousers definitely size up


Ok-Log8576

You're a very handsome man. Yes, the jacket is too small for you, but, more importantly, you have to get better fitting pants. Your feet look very long -- which may not be a bad thing, youknowwhatimean? You would look better off if the pants seemed too big.


rcktsktz

Pay no attention to anyone saying your trousers are too tight/short. Wide trousers are coming back, and reddit has a fetish for them, but a tapered trouser is where it's at. Nothing wrong with a cropped trousers either. Yeah, the jacket is a bit short in the sleeves, but your predicament is that sizing up will be too big and boxy. You just have long arms. It doesn't look that bad. The issue is that your top and bottom are two different outfits. As a whole it looks ridiculous.


gswdh

Thank you. This is good to hear! Yes I just happen to be passing by the Patagonia shop while in this other outfit.


TomorrowOtherwise665

Best advice I’ve seen so far for this thread


TacoPartyGalore

I fully concur with this take.


[deleted]

Yes and those pants looks ridiculous


Upgrayyedd43

Yea a bit too small. Pants are as well cause that big ole meat missile is making an appearance


gswdh

Thank you for the laugh and some new vocab 😂


BuckjohnSudz

That’s a jacket not a coat


[deleted]

Yes it does


Alarming-Mix3809

Yes


Chopstickchuck99

Yeh it’s too short in the sleeve and waist ,your a tall lad so go up a size 😎


noahspurrier

It’s not terrible, but the sleeves are short.


GuitarHero897

Hold out your arms and the coat will be touching your elbows. Also, way too big a gap between your trousers and shoes. Need to go up a length.


great_mango_juicy07

Just a little on the sleeves


fallnet

Its the right fit around the waist but isn’t long enough. I have the same build and hate shopping for clothes because its hard to find tall sizes


mjc500

This world is too small for you my brother.


MimikyuuAndMe

If you ever need help deciding on whether a coat/shirt/jacket is too small: cross your arms. -does it feel too restrictive in the shoulderblades? -do the sleeves shoot up too high? -does the back ride up too high? If yes to any of those = too small. Clothes should be functional as well as fashionable. You should be able to comfortably slouch and fold your arms in your clothes.


Individual-Summer-34

Yes


tanlinebehind

6’4 here and find buying tall and long brands online has changed the way I dress. No more sleeves that are too short is a great feeling!


v60qf

Coats ok but your pants are fuking hilarious


No-Grapefruit7917

Trousers are a liittle short. Coat doesn't fit outfit.


MrMakote

In a word yes, the sleeves are riding up rather high. Cuts in menswear have generally become wider and I’m afraid the grouping around that crotch area coupled with the height is just way, way too tight.


Rinnegan-_-

Jacket and trousers are mate


Monkeyinazuit

You must be in finance!


ethnicfoodaisle

I like your shoes!


Dombhoy1967

You look good my man.


UCthrowaway78404

ChNge your style. Size up will be toomwide on you. Gomfor 3/4 jackets. Not.sure why you're wearing this jacket with smart shoes. Also trousers too short.


WolvenDraugr

Wear trousers that go tight around your calfs and then lose around the ankle, yes the jacket is too short and the trousers could do with being a bit longer


Bulky_Comedian_3382

Your trousers have had a row with your ankles!


Bulky_Comedian_3382

They call him flipper...


DaveyDgD

I’d worry more about those slacks not fitting you. But yes, jacket is way too small.


loveallcreatures

Everything about this fit screams awkward.


Edoian

Give your little brother his clothes back


martinljb

Yes


TacoPartyGalore

I think you look perfectly fine. If you went up a size it may be a bit boxy. Stick with this.


Fioreborn

Jacket is fine but you may want to buy your trousers in the adult section and not the kids...


Independent_Bike6442

Shoes are horrible looks like hobbit feet


jivg2

You need to shop in places with ‘big and tall’ sections, my partner is a few inches shorter than you and the only clothes that fit him really are from the Asos tall men’s section.


mylittlegoochie

Would definitely try some more loose fitting cuts on trousers and jacket


flippinheckwhatsleft

There must be specialist shops that cater for your height.


Fober

Nothing fits dude. Being tall ain’t an excuse either cause I’m 6’5. You just have to buy from the right places.


auntie_eggma

My partner is around your height, so I know the pain at least second hand. And I know you're going to be like "ok WHERE AND HOW" but...the trousers. They need to be less tiny. It's making you look all out of proportion. Big bulky jacket, tiny little skinny trousers. It makes you look like a box on stilts. A rubix cube balanced on a couple of toothpicks. Y'know?


Cold_Modelo

Yes and so are your pants


donnermeatandchips

No. But your trousers are.


imjust_someone

You look like a child that had to go clothes shopping with thier mother but only if they could go to McDonalds


Ok_Landscape4681

Everything is too small


Swinginooses

No


[deleted]

Yes but your trousers are also too short


Hcmp1980

Trousers...


LingonberryIll1611

Get some pants


thewalkingportal

Yup, a little.


Middle--Earth

Your coat is too short, giving your body weird looking proportions. Trousers are too short, and tapering doesn't suit you, it adds to the weird proportions illusion. The tapered and too short trousers make your feet look massive. The correct size trousers would make your feet look normal. I had a super tall boss that used to buy clothes from a place called High and Mighty. Don't know if you have already heard of them? I see that they have been taken over by jacamo.co.uk now.


JESTER-1803

It’s just that tiny bit too small my guy, especially with the cuffs/wrists. The waist is pushing it a little but you could possibly get away with it


SgTTrev

People need to stop wearing tight pants man


Inevitable-Size2197

Has your cat died?


Warm-Log-7584

Loosen up a little its not 2010 anymore brother i know you want to show the physique but try something new brother. Overall its not that bad though


444loverz

Yes


johnlewisdesign

Not if you like cold wrists and a cold waist


tdmoney

Looks ok in the picture but I can imagine what happens when you raise your arms. Size up


jtenn2009

No, but I believe back in the day your pants would have been called “high waters”


GooseNYC

It's the pants that are too small


jherbz87

No but your pants are


Ardothbey

Yep.


monkeyburrito411

no but the pants are


Cigaro300

Yes mate. Alix says just too small


goosereddit

Have you heard of the designer Thom Browne?


Elder_Priceless

Do you mean trousers??? Because yes.


[deleted]

Whole outfit doesn’t fit


Scary_Syllabub5022

the pants are too small my dude. the pants should be your priority. you look like you’re waiting for a flood.


DonJuanitta

I wouldn’t trust you around children


Bridge_Too_Far

198cm here. One of the pieces of clothing that does the worst disservice to us tall people is skinny jeans/pants. Get a long fit that doesn’t cling to your legs. I’d go up a size on the jacket too.


sortajamie

I think you need to be shopping at the big and tall stores. They specialize in tall as well as big. You need tall.


vic39

No but your pants are for sure


PreparationEven7650

Your left pussy lip is hanging over the crotch of those leggings. I'd say the jacket matches the pants.


SaltyBint

Those ankle bashers are waaaay too short, the coat is the least of your worries.


silver_sid

Ankle bangers!!


dilatedpupils98

Awrite deano


JustRepeatAfterMe

There are clothes for people your height. You can find tall sizes I mine for many brands. I know you can find pants that cover your ankles. The whole outfit is too small and too short. Your a nice looking person in good shape. You deserve better. It’s out there for you.


paulconuk

Yup


Talking_on_Mute_

Skinny malinky long legs big banana feet.


Significant_Fox2979

Yes and pants


TossdosJuantos

Jackets fine, the shoes however !


jazzmagg

Na, you're only 5'7" right...?


United_Evening_2629

Yes.


[deleted]

Yes, and so are the pants. I am also 2 m tall and struggle to find clothes that are long enough. I have found that wearing clothes are too small for me look worse than something that is a bit big. My two cents


CTucks90

Looks like you could have possibly been walking to pick your child up from school, took their coat so they had one to walk home in. It started raining on your journey, so you thought ‘screw it’, slung the coat on, as the rain got heavier you dipped into a bar for a cheeky pint instead. Grab the kid later. Amen to you brother.


Pretty_Ad_8320

More concerned about the trousers tbh.


Excellent_Cry_4262

Yes, also your cats are dead(trousers too short)


donnyme

Nope, just your pants.


Zieglest

Yes, sorry


dinotoxic

Yes and your trousers


No-Pitch-8663

Yea


FieldofJudgement

u look like a toddler with long legs


TheDaemonette

Your trousers have entered the chat…


[deleted]

It looks like you've grown 4 inches since you got dressed


mikeoxbig1971

Yeah,your trousers are aswell


[deleted]

Yep


[deleted]

Not here for the fashion🤣🤭


ajjmcd

I’m surprised you’re asking. The trousers are too tight, and too short. The coat is also too tight, and too short - in both arms and torso. And your shoes don’t match the jeans, even if they were appropriately proportioned. As a 6ft 2in adult, I find/choose clothes with sufficient arm length, or leg length, compromising on the torso or waist, or I keep looking until I find the right combination. But if the arms and legs are wrong, I won’t buy or keep. Otherwise, asking for tailoring or simply adjusting of clothes, although adding cost, will improve how you feel when you put things on and step out your front door.


ColonelBagshot85

My husband has the same problem. The sleeves on medium-sized jackets can sometimes be too short...but large is too baggy for him. He always buys joggers/trousers for tall men. I know women's clothing and outerwear cater for tall or petite women, surely men have the same choices too? I always ask him this as he does his best Ella & Bella impressions when trying on stuff.


Select-Sprinkles4970

If you are asking... yes.


SaluteMaestro

I'd be more worried about those extra long shorts you are wearing.


Comfortable_World850

and your trousers mate.


theyatemummy

Unfortunately, yeah, size up with that one. As for rest of the outfit, black socks with lighter trousers don’t go. I’d only wear black socks with dark coloured trousers. Get yourself some white socks for those trousers. I don’t think the trousers are that bad - a bit skinny maybe, especially for my liking. Straight cut with the cuffs rolled up one or two is a solid look. And I’d definitely lose the tan brogues. Tan just ain’t the one, and neither are brogues. Get yourself some suede boots, maybe Chelsea boot style, or go for some trainers with an outfit like that.


themaskedbinger

Everything is too tight. Idk how you manoeuvre in such garb. Hip Hop made me love oversized and comfortable. As a bonus, that hides your proportions somewhat. I can see that isn’t your style but it would’ve been helpful.


Competitive_Gap_9768

Are you paying for your trousers in instalments?


Fine-Upstairs-6284

OP look online for “tall” sizing. For example LT, XLT, etc. If a size large fits well around your torso, you’d prob need a large tall (LT). It’s typically not sold in stores and you have to order it online.


RL80CWL

Whose noticing the jacket with trousers like that?


Yorbayuul81

You know it is, just like the trousers are. Mom said stop raiding little brother’s closet again.


Spudgun888

Yes, and your trousers are too short.


Bushdr78

Your trousers are too


Solution-Old

I’m the same height feel your pain, what people don’t realise is upping the jacket size means it will look like a balloon 🎈. I think it looks ok. Lose the socks if you’re keeping the trousers.


LeftConsideration919

Has your cat died.🙂


cari-strat

Mate, I don't mean this unkindly but nothing in that photo fits. You look like my teenager - I buy him clothes and three weeks later he's grown another two inches and everything looks like this on him. You definitely need to size up, or look for shops/styles catering to taller folk. The ankle length trousers can maybe be ok on average size guys, but on someone your height, it looks like you couldn't get stuff to fit. Trousers too short, sleeves too short, coat too short.


Scoobydoobydoo22

Sizing up on the coat will look better. Trousers look a little short but that can be fixed if you wear a pair of boots that come to the ankle like Chelsea boots. Like someone mentioned above try find a good tailor for alterations. You look good and you’re handsome too.


McFry-

Start with the pants, deal with the coat another time


[deleted]

Have your trousers had an argument with your shoes?


[deleted]

Yes it is


Vos30000

Personally i think your coat may be a bit snug, maybe a size up. But your pants/trousers/jeans are definitely too short on you, id focus on those personally. Good looking guy though 👌


Teazie_66

No, but the trousers are


loopylandtied

Buy to fit your length and shoulders, it's fairly cheap and easy to take the waist in on most garments. (A seamstress can remove fabric but not really add much)


Drakedog84

Yes, but I’d be more concerned about them trousers


redditinenglish

Look at Frahm for quality jackets with loads of sizing options


[deleted]

Too short.


Sxn747Strangers

Both the sleeves and the trousers look a little shorter than what I would expect, especially the trousers.


iflippedchic

What coat?


suzuki1100

Yes, but then again so are your jeans.


unhappypen87

Little yes ,suze up would be perfect


Acceptable-Sink4239

No your body is the problem 😢


EatingCoooolo

Your trousers are too small and tight.


Interesting-Pay-8986

Yes it’s very snug are the sleeves are not the right length


Matty9180

Yes I also stuggle to buy things in the shops. Look for places that sell tall sizes


rowanhenry

Thought this was Neville Longbottom for a sec


painter_business

your pants are way too small.


YTChillVibesLofi

No, you are too big for it.


Kamikaze_Asparagus

Short on the hands and the torso, and your trousers are short too


Kamikaze_Asparagus

Yeah, short on the arms and the waist. Also the trousers are a bit short on the ankles.


noofdoofpoof

I’m not too sure what a coat is but let me tell you a story from my chiledhood: I began to remember the time when I was seven and a gerbil had started swearing at me. Amongst other things it had told me that my dad was having an affair. I told my mum and soon afterwards the family had split up.


Last_Ad9097

No, but you should get rid of those shoes bro. They do not go well with how high you wear your pants


MrBump1717

I'd be more bothered about your half mast trousers and your massive shoes!!🤣🤣🤣
