Why does /fa/ never really talk about proportions? They're more important than total height seeing as you can be tall but look terrible because you have relative munchkin legs. What ratio is ideal for men?

Truth, if you're legs aren't ~2:3 to the rest of your body you probably look like shit. Of course if you know your drape game etc. it's a different thing.

Truth, legs ~2:3 to the rest of your body looks great. Of course if you know your drape game etc. it's a different thing.

How to elongate the proportions of your legs, one way:

>Atleast 2.5cm heel
>Shoes, socks, pants all black
>High waist pants
>Tuck shirt in
>If you're wearing a shirt with buttons, open one more button compared to what you'd normally do
>If a chain works for you, use that. If the pendant is slim and long that'd be great
>The closer you can get to a thigh gap as a man, the better. Like the line between your thighs, the higher it is the better

It's more common to be taller than to have good proportions. Most men have insane ugly long torsos and short legs, but are tall nonetheless. Some complain about fat women with high waisted pants, but they work for short legs too.

I've heard that in runway models they want legs that are 1.4x the length of the upper body, with legs being measured from the greater trochanter to the ankle, and the upper body being from the same spot to the top of the head. But that was for women. Not sure if the same is ideal for men.

not even that long. the boots plus the terrible head posture make them look longer than they are. as a rule of thumb, most peoples legs from the bottom of their foot to the crotch area = the length from crotch to the base of the neck. so pants length usually comprises half the silhouette due to the rise of the pants, which compensates for the neck and head. basically legs = waist area + torso, legs + waist = torso +neck & head. most people have around 50/50 proportions, though you can exaggerate it with things like high waist pants or heeled shoes and boots. skinny legs also helps, but if you're too top heavy it can actually be a detriment. cropped or jackets that hit just below the belt line also help, as do camera tricks and poses. Cropping the head or taking a photo at a low angle puts the emphasis on the legs. Also, most people think they are leglets due to the fact that they look in mirrors, which when looking at our eye level diminish the legs in size, same thing with mirror photos.

Late to the thread, but in terms of home measurements, sitting height ratio is a lot easier to do accurately than inseam etc seeing as there's less margin for error with shoving measuring tape up in between your nuts and shit. 0.51 is the average sitting height ratio (SH/total height in cm), so give that a shot if you want to more accurately ascertain your dwarf status.

I'm 53% and 6'4 and wear 36 inseam jeans, so if you're 6'1 you woudn't need 36, more like 34.

I wear 30 x 36, and they fit fine

2~3 legs to rest of the body looks great in girls too. I've been using some of these and it's a great way to dress better the clothes you already have.

The cute azn boyz in this thread are actually great examples of how you can accentuate your leg length with clothes - theyre all really short limbed/long torso'd genetically but ffs look at the op, long limbed and elegant as fuck

being tall with a big torso is a recipe for a short life span, keeping all that mass around the organs kills ppl off younger

ok but that doesnt change all that much? the number of 6'1 people with a true 36 inseam is still really fuckin small lmao. the 50% rule literally came from comic book drawing (>>13528049
