Top Style Tips for Shorter Men - How to measure & What to wear

Step 1: How To Measure yourself for Short Men's Clothes

Finding your perfect FIT is easy- just find an inexpensive, soft tape measure and get to work! Don't own one? Click the above link- we offer them right online at FORtheFIT.

Neck Measurement:

Finding your collar size is easy! First, with a soft tape measure, either 1) measure around the base of your neck, or 2) measure the collar on your favorite shirt. If you are measuring from a shirt, you will start from the center of the collar button and run the tape to the far end of the button hole. The resulting measurement is your collar size.

ProTip:

If you intend to wear the shirt with a tie, the size you select should closely match your exact collar measurement. However, shirts you intend to wear without a tie may be purchased slightly larger at the neck. The larger neck offers comfort and a more casual look.

Chest Measurement:

To measure your chest, first relax your arms at your sides. Then, measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape measure under the armpits. This is your chest size.

ProTip:

If you're shopping for a jacket or sports coat, in addition to considering your chest, you will want to ensure comfort and a better fit in the upper arms and shoulders. Therefore, in addition to the chest measurement above, you will also want to know your overarm measurement. First, measure around your chest and arms (at the highest point of your shoulder blades). This is your overarm measurement. Next, subtract your chest measurement from your overarm measurement. If the difference is 7 or more inches, then we recommend ordering one size larger through the chest, so you can comfortably move your arms and shoulders in the jacket.

Sleeve Measurements (Arms):

To find what sleeve length to order, start by bending your elbow 90 degrees and placing your hand on your hip. Next, hold the tape at the center back of your neck. Last, measure across your shoulder to your elbow, and down to your wrist. Voila! You've just calculated your sleeve length.

Waist Size Measurements:

Figuring out what waist size to order for pants is simple. First, grab that soft tape measure. Second, measure loosely around your natural waistline. Third, don't forget to breathe. Remember: if you hold the tape measure too tightly, you may pop a button the next time you take a deep breath or eat a sandwich! If you're in-between sizes, consider a self-sizer waisted pant (learn more about those here)

ProTip:

Here's how NOT to measure. First, do NOT simply go by the stated or label size on your favorite pants. Second, do not simply measure the waistband on the garment itself. That's because depending on the intended rise of that item (ie. whether it's supposed to sit AT or BELOW your waist), and also how it actually fits on you (ie whether you are wearing it as intended), the resulting numbers may have no relevance to your actual waist size. Instead, simply measure your waist itself.

Rise and Inseam: Measuring for Pants

Pant Length / Inseam:

Inseam is the measurement of your pants length from the crotch seam to the bottom hem. A professional tailor can take this measure for you. But, if you're more comfortable, you can easily find this measurement at home. First, identify which of your existing pants fits you best. Next, fold that pair in half-lengthwise and lay on a flat surface (a bed, table or the floor will work). Then, measure from the crotch seam (where all the fabric meets) and straight down the pant leg all the way to the bottom. This is your inseam. Wish your favorite pair were just an inch longer? Cool beans! Just add an inch to the number.

Trouser Rise:

The rise on your pants refers to the distance from crotch to waist. Simply fold your pants in half lengthwise, and along the front of the pant, measure from the crotch seam to the top of the waistband to find the front rise. Rise is important because it determines where the pants sit on your body. First, rise is most commonly used to describe whether the pants are supposed to sit on your body. For example, low rise pants sit well below your waist, and high-rise just above. But YOU also have a natural rise - the distance between your crotch and waist, that also needs to be considered. If you are shorter than average, you may have a short rise.

ProTip:

If you are under 5'9" or shorter than average, you may find yourself buying regular, off the rack pants and wondering why they sit so high on your body (or, you're wearing them below the waist, and find the crotch is dragging super low). If so, you may have a short rise. If you find you have a short rise, you may need to start with pants that feature a true short rise, and THEN shop for your perfect style (ie whether you want a short/low rise to sit below your waist, or short/standard rise to sit AT your natural waist). For example, we offer both styles, including: classic fit (short rise, to sit at the waist) and slim fit (short rise, to fit below the waist).  See our featured Pant Rise Article for more details.

Easy Extended Holiday Return Policy at FORtheFIT

WHY SHOP EARLY? 

We have worked hard to stock your favorites in time for the holiday season - most items are in stock now and new arrivals are expected by mid-November - but make no mistake - We will sell out of some of your tall and short men's sweatpants and loungewear favorites. It's just a fact.

We also know that just like the past several years, freight carriers have been unable to keep up with demand for goods by mail, particularly during the Holiday season. Delays and losses have again become the standard. Regardless of which carrier we use or how we try to get ahead of things, mail WILL be slow due to insane demand across all industries. So, PREPARATION WILL BE KEY.  We know that many of you will be shopping earlier than ever this year to ensure you have your favorite gifts for your loved ones and avoid the dreaded "sold-out" sign. To accommodate our beloved customers (that's you- we LOVE you!), we've updated our already generous holiday return policy to meet these needs.

Even in the best of times, gift giving is shrouded in uncertainty. What size to buy? will they like this color or that one? 'Tis the Season to make mistakes! But that's okay, since we offer easy returns with extended return deadlines

EXTENDED HOLIDAY RETURN DEADLINES: 

For all these reasons, at FORtheFIT we offer an extra generous returns policy for the Holiday period each year, extending our 30 day policy as follows:

Refunds for orders placed between Oct 1st and November 23rd will ONLY be available within 30 days from purchase date, no exceptions.

  • Items Purchased on or after November 24th are eligible for Refund, Exchange or Store Credit through the later of 30 days or January 6th, 2024

STEP 2: Type your Order Number, followed by either Last Name, Phone Number or Zip Code (exactly as provided when the order was placed) and click submit

STEP 3: Follow the easy on screen instructions to choose between returns for refund, exchange or store credit (whichever your items or order are eligible for). You can even download a return postage label right from our site.

Important Tips for an Easy & Hassle Free Return Experience: 

  • Please remember that refunds are issued for item cost only. Original ship fees are non-refundable.
  • Return postage is free if you elect store credit or exchange, but $12 will be deducted if you use our postage label for your return.
  • You are welcome to use your own postage, but please use a traceable ship method.   
  • Please don't remove tags...we know you're excited to receive your cool new pants from FORtheFIT, but please, please do not remove tags until you're sure you selected the right size and your items are keepers. We can only accept returns on items that are unworn, in new condition, no smells, no pet hair, and with all original tags still attached and intact as shipped to you. We cannot accept worn or laundered items for return.
  • Final Sale & Discontinued items have different return policies as described on the product page at the time of purchase. The return deadline extensions DO NOT APPLY to FINAL SALE nor DISCONTINUED items. Final Sale items may not be returned (no exceptions). Discontinued item are eligible to return for store credit only, minus a $5 restock fee per item, for 30 days only - no holiday extensions apply. 

What does "FINAL SALE" mean?

Neither our standard nor our Holiday Return policy apply to items marked FINAL SALE.

Items purchased that are marked "FINAL SALE" on the product page at the time of purchase are NOT eligible for refunds or exchanges because the super low price (always ending in .88) means we are selling the item at a loss. Because of that purchase condition, the returns system will not allow the return & we have no way to override this. THERE CAN BE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS POLICY. Thanks for understanding. Because of this, we encourage you to skip the purchase of final sale items unless you are totally familiar with FORtheFIT items and sizing and you are just scoring a replacement pair for your favorite items. If you have questions about sizing or general product questions, then please Contact Us or use the chat feature to the bottom right of every page to ask - we're happy to help!
