Be it from added time at the gym or not :-))*
Stay with light colors. They are slimming, they will do wonders to lighten the appearance of your frame, making you seem skinner. As for specific colors, choices like black and dark navy are as complementary as they are classy for everyone.
The two-button jacket is now the norm and designed to work for all body types.
It won’t draw attention to your bulky frame. If you’re dying to wear a double-breasted blazer and you’re packing a few extra pounds, don’t despair; the extra layer of fabric will smooth out additional lumps and bumps. Also, as long as the lapels meet below the waist, the V-effect created by a double-breasted jacket will make you seem taller. In addition, larger men should look for jackets with side venting or double venting to conceal their wider posteriors while sitting or moving.
Solids work best to create a sleek, slender visual.
While loud patterns will definitely work against you, there are still options for finding a suit with added detailing. Since vertical stripes elongate the frame, they are both appropriate and chic. If you carry few extra pounds, you can also choose tiny, innocuous patterns for a bolder look, but proceed with caution, not loud colors or big patterns.

Tall and skinny man:
Your Suit fabric should be heavy fabric, but the color should be light. Lighter colors, have a visual power of make things appear more bulky (in this case, you) Since vertical stripes elongate and dark colors slim; So stay away from it.
Choose a suit that’s a lighter color -- such as gray -- and that has no vertical stripes.
Since three buttons create height and length, tall guys, with their longer torsos, can pull this look off successfully.

While bulky and short guys would be advised to stick to two-button jackets, tall and skinny guys are eligible for this modish feature (only button the top two buttons, though).
Sticking with a single-vent or ventless jacket produces a modest, fuller look in the rear.
Tall guys have long legs, so their pants shouldn’t make them seem any taller.
The best way to prevent seeming any taller than you are is to ensure the pants have a longer rise; the rise of the pants, which is the distance from the waistband to the crotch, helps establish the proportions between the body and the legs.
That’s why a regular rise will bring balance and symmetry to your already long legs and torso.

The Short Man
For a shorter man, the choice of fabrics is wide open, while the option for loud patterns is not. The print of an overly bold pattern screams for attention (this is not good for you). Wearing a loud pattern, especially in a suit, will only draw attention to your diminutive frame.
For shorter men, the next best thing to a shoe with a higher sole is a suit with vertical stripes. As stripes run top to bottom, they tend to draw the eye upward.
Plus, they also lengthen your frame by elongating the look of the suit.
Both of these traits make vertical stripes ideal and advantageous for shorter men; they give them the illusion of appearing taller than they really are.

Should you be on the shorter side, let your jacket have either one or two buttons.
The double-vent jacket is a perfect look for you. The dual slits (or vents) along the side emphasize the outside lines of the body; in doing so, they establish an attractive, longer silhouette that complements and lengthens your frame.

A double-vent jacket is not only the appropriate look for shorter men, but also the stylish option for an accomplished sense of style.When it comes to the pant, look for a low rise.
The rise is the vertical distance from the waist to the crotch; low-rise pants stretch out the torso, making you seem taller. They dramatize the proportions of your frame to look sleeker and longer. In fact, the lower the rise of the pants, the longer the body looks.

Who does not like to see a well dressed man? I absolutely love it! They look good, respectable and confident, just like God intended it to be.
