Social media has helped the average gent get closer to celebrities, it’s unfortunate that many gents are not taking advantage of it when it comes to style If you have a problem with your style, I’ll be sharing stylish celebs you are in a height range with that you can emulate.
Nick Jonas (5’5″ to 5’9);
Nicki Jonas stands at 5’6″ which obviously influences his style decisions, he falls around the mid height range here so his style can work if you’re a gent who falls in the category he wears clothes that don’t make his height obvious and fit him well.

If you fall in this range, your style becomes a little harder because most clothes in the market aren’t designed for gents in this range which leads to a lot of them making poor style choice. You do have some choices like Idris Elba, Pierce Brosnan, Will Smith etc.
For a suit or tux look, you may have to go back to older bond actors like Sean Connery (RIP), 6’2″ and Pierce Brosnan, 6’1″.
If you need a more modern example, you can check out some of Idris Elba’s (6’2″) look, some of Steph Curry’s (6’2″) and some of Will Smith’s (6’2″).
Idris Elba can be an option to emulate for casual or business casual if you’re in this range, there’s also Steph Curry and Will Smith who are also 6’2″ like Idris Elba. I can’t close this section without showing you how shorts could look on you if you haven’t tried them yet or you may be getting them wrong.

If you fall in this range, your options of celebrities to try to copy significantly reduces because very few of them who fall in this range actually know how to dress to fit their height.
Jacob Elordi, who stands at 6’5″ comes to mind and what applies to him in terms of height also applies to gents who fall into this range.
