Does streetwear work for short people?

I was thinking about expanding my wardrobe with something along the lines of the pic. My only worry is that I'm too short to pull it off.
I'm only about 170cm long weighing about 50kg.

So, can I pull it off? If not, what styles could I do? If I could pull it off, is there anything I can improve on the outfit or myself?

I bet you have figured that I'm pretty new to the whole fashion thing but I have now decided that I want to look good.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I honestly think that the skateboarder look like ur pic op, works best for people of a short stature that was good facial hair.

>iam tall and can't grow facial hair so it is a miss for me, but when I would meet kids at college or high school that were the skaters, pot heads the ones who looked the best were the shorter ones.

(the facial hair bit isn't a neccesity but I think it flatters the look.

>>6608384
Brilliant! I can't really grow facial hair either though.
How much does face shape work into it though? I (at least think I) have an oblong face.

Also, is the whole cap thing required? Because I hate caps. It seems like a vital part of the outfit though.

lol nothing is required. dress how you feel like, obviously you need inspiration but I think you should avoid just copying exact outfits, especially if you don't like parts of them

Shit OP,>>6608753 is right, the japs pretty much invented streetwear. Just make sure you're shit fits good and you feel comfortable with however experimental you're been with your look. Your pic is kind of basic and would look super plebby on anyone less attractive.

Maybe some tips. Correct me if i am wrong.

>Slightly baggier pants than normal fitting pants.
>plain t-shirts (this is where you can add your personal touch. Like with a skinny frame wear over sized tees, or wear slim fitting tees. Look at your posture and decide what looks best, else go lift)
>nice sneakers (also personal touch required, i prefer slimmer sneakers like air max, or new balance. But heck vans or chucks (low) also work)
>shorts that are above the knee but still leave room to skate (even though you aren't gonna skate)
>plaited shirts, like your pic. or Oxford BD.

Now personally i think you require a shorter posture to pull of street wear, but heck tall people flatter every fit so that is unfair.

i haven't read this thread but your height doesn't affect your ability to pull off something so general such as a style, or even a single piece of clothing in most cases. do what you want.

i don't get what you mean is there anything you can do to "improve on the outfit", do you mean outfit in op? it's a style. it's not very conventionally 'fashionable'. if that's what you're interested in buy sneakers and slim fit (not skinny) jeans/chinos and buttons ups that are maybe a size too large if you're interested in a disheveled look

I kinda know the feeling. Both of my parents are about the same height, mom being a bit shorter and dad a cm or two taller. But the thing is my big bro is about 195 AND IM STUCK AT GOD DAMN 165. Not to mention I seemed to get the short stick in the whole genepool. All kinds of genetic health issues, allergies, atopy and asthma. It makes me angry at times.

I'm 5'7. There are two ways to do this:
- Be really slim, wear XS. Japanese style.
- Work out your chest and wear boxy cuts, e.g. military stuff like M65s and bombers. Engineered Garments has a lot of jackets that fit this way.
