I was born with feet in the 1st percentile of the population and they stayed that way even despite getting taller. Now every shoe shopping experience is awkward af.

    Skinny 5’3 guy here. I’ve had that experience buying pants. “Maybe you’ll find something in the kids’ section”.

      Those are not bad. They fit better and honestly look better. Tight shirts shouldn’t only be for buff guys.

      Went out with my cousin who is 5’ 4". He buys pants at the kid section.

      I tried to poke fun at him and this short king eviscerated me how I had to pay a “Height tax” since his clothes are durable and cheaper.

      180cm tall guy, with longl back and short legs. Actually knowing it’s impossible to find pants that are short enough has made buying them easier. Once I accept I need to take them to a seamstress to have them shortened anyway, I just need to find a pair with the right width.

      Sadly no such simple solution for most shirts out there being too short.

        I have the same problem with shirts. If it fits across my chest it’s too short, if it fits length wise it is baggy across chest and stomach.

        Recently I found a brand that offers a extra long sizes. Eg if the sizes are Small, medium and large they offer small+, medium+, large+. The only difference is the cut is 5 cm longer.

        Get a sewing maching, even better, an overlock. Buy the bigger/longer size and sew them thinner. Its surprisingly not that hard.
