Not thinking short men would mind so much.

Go figure...

A new meme from Short Kingz.

This "Size Doesn't Matter" illustration is a response meme to the ongoing phenomenon both on and offline, where many women will insist that they love their boyfriends or husbands "despite" him being short, as if his height is a negative trait or something to make up for.

The purpose of us creating this meme is to show the absurdity of the phenomenon.

The height difference she deserves...

Go figure...

WINTER FASHION ACCESSORIES

Winter isn’t just about layering up; it’s also about bringing out your style. This calls for the right choice of winter fashion without adding unnecessary bulk. It’s an epic opportunity us shorter guys to showcase our wardrobes, once again underscoring the fact that height need not get in the way of fashion-sense.

In 2022, the winter wear market hit 285 billion USD, and it’s safe to assume the figures will only grow as people continue to get exposed to hip fashion ideas. Without further ado, here’s a list of winter fashion accessories for shorter men and why they’re all must-haves:
 

OVERSHOES

Your feet lose the most heat, and that’s where overshoes step in to keep cold and wet feet at bay. The good news? They slip right over your regular shoes to protect them from snow, rain, and cold weather so your feet, outside of normal sweat, will stay dry. Most importantly, they’ll protect your shoes from the elements, namely from getting ruined by salt spread on the streets before and during snowstorms. Some picks to check out include:
 

CLASSIC OVERSHOES

Made with a slip-resistant traction sole, these classic ankle-high overshoes make the perfect companion for cold weather. Plus, the increased heel and width ensure they give enough space fit over bulky shoes. Their matte finish helps with giving you a more balanced look.

WINTER NON-SLIP SNOW OVERSHOES

With winter still around, the winter non-slip snow overshoes offer the best protection against the harshest conditions. Featuring a long tube-like design which go up to the calf, they save your feet and lower pants from seeping into the mud or ice while you walk around and go about your day. 

ALL SEASON WATERPROOF OVERSHOES

Or would you like something that styles you up year-round? Made with 500 denier nylon upper with strong waterproof abilities, the NEOS Voyager overshoes are your best bet for all outfits from formal to casual.
 

ALPACA AND MERINO WOOL SCARVES

Short guys who know their style know that the right scarves have what it takes to achieve a well-proportioned, fuller and classier look. Alpaca wool gives you unmatched softness and warmth while merino wool is made with fine fibers for incredible insulation and temperature regulation. Our top picks include:

GAMBOA ALPACA SCARF

As a mix of cashmere, silk, and Alpaca wool, the Gamboa Alpaca scarf beats the cold without bulking up your whole outfit. The luxurious feel and look of this scarf perfectly shows why some men are called the ‘Short Kingz.’ 

INCA FASHIONS ALPACA SCARF

If you’re seeking a warm scarf in multiple colors that exude timeless elegance, the Inca Fashions Alpaca Scarf is by far the best pick. This unisex scarf ensures thermo-regulating warmth, so it won’t overheat you. 

AUSTRALIAN MERINO WOOL SCARF

The Merino Wool Tartan Knitted scarf for men is yet another fantastic piece, and it’s easy to see why. With a multicolor options and plaid pattern, you can pair it with any casual outfit for a more formal finish, or with formal outfit for an exceptionally elite look.

THERMALS

If there is any non-negotiable in the cold when discussing winter fashion accessories for shorter men, thermals are absolutely on that list. Thermals, especially the bottom piece (pants) will keep you warm. Throw in the top piece and it becomes ideal for the shorter man who wishes to remain cozy without being weighed down by bulky layers. The top options include:

MERINO WOOL FULL THERMAL SET

The Merino Wool Thermal set gives men a full day of comfort and no itch. It’s also available in lightweight, midweight, and heavyweight options.

FRUIT OF THE LOOM THERMAL PANTS

Made with cotton and recycled polyester, the Fruit of the Loom Thermal pants are ideal for the current season, with spring around the corner. The fitted look makes it ideal for shorter men who value their style. This is a personal favorite. As someone who has sensitive skin, these have never given me a problem.

THERMAJOHN FLEECE-LINED THERMALS

Super soft and warm, the Thermajohn Fleece thermals will of course keep your warm and it’s pattern-less design makes the top piece look like a stylish shirt, while the whole set gives a sleek and dressy appearance.

EXTRA WARM HATS

Heat leaves your head at roughly the same rate as it does your feet! Your parents probably repeatedly told you to wear a hat in your youth. It’s time we listen! To prevent heat from escaping that cool head of yours, it’s worth investing in extra warm hats, such as:

SHEEPSKIN AVIATOR HAT

Manufactured using 100%  shearling sheepskin, the Sheepskin Aviator hat fully covers your head, ears, and neck to beat extreme cold.

DANISH ENDURANCE MERNIO WOOL HAT

The Danish Merino Wool Hat makes an elegant choice, prioritizing your comfort while still showcasing head-turning fashion sense due to its tight-knit design. 

OCTAOMA WINTER BEANIE WITH EARFLAPS

The  double-layered Octaoma Winter Beanie comes with earflaps to keep you extra warm and will fit almost all head sizes. Plus, they make perfect companions for your winter-season adventures. 

SLOUCHY BEANIE

For shorter men seeking extra comfort, a slouchy beanie like this one is a cool option that allows you to look fashionably hip, no matter how cold it gets. Perfect for casual outfits with chinos or jeans as the foundation.

STYLISH GLOVES

Nobody wants to keep taking off their gloves just to use phones and devices in winter. Luckily, gloves with touchscreen capabilities and convertible mittens allow you to scroll, text, or tap without the hassle. The following options are worth considering:

NAPPA LEATHER WITH TOUCH

Nappa Leath gloves are made with sheepskin to give your hands a soft touch. The good news? As a shorter guy, you can opt for the perfect fit due to their plethora of size options. 

FLEECE LINED WOOL GLOVES

Made with merino wool, these fleece-lined wool gloves give you an all-over silicone print on the palms and fingertips. This lets you grab what you want, use your phone, and carry out all your daily tasks with your gloves on which of course equals warmth and comfort. 

STYLISH MERINO GLOVES WITH TOUCH

When speaking of the best winter fashion accessories for shorter men, these stylish Merino gloves with touch would take the top spot for many from our suggestions in this article. Their stretchy snug fit allows fast typing and quick taps on your phone easy and straightforward.

WOOL CONVERTIBLE MITTENS

Fashion and style for shorter men almost peaks with the elegant wool convertible mittens made up of half wool and half acrylic. By lifting the strong Velcro strip, you can snap off the mitten portion to expose your bare fingertips, making scrolling, swiping and device operation a snap without any inconveniences or discomfort. Add to that, they will make for a great conversation piece.

EXTRA WARM SOCKS

This list of winter fashion accessories for shorter men would not be complete without extra warm socks. Here are a few options to help you step up your short man sock game:
 

THERMAL MERINO WOOL HIKING SOCKS

If you’re an adventure lover, investing in thermal socks like Thermal Merino Wool Hiking socks is a must. They’re made with itch-free material and superior cushioning to ensure shorter men can enjoy their expeditions to the fullest!

WEATHERPROOF CREW SOCKS

Weatherproof Crew socks are an excellent choice and there’s a reason why there are so many reviews. They fit snugly throughout the day while staying taut, so your ability to style never suffers. Though marketed as crew socks, their neutral color offerings will lend themselves to any formal getup. These are a personal favorite. I sometimes double these over regular crew socks to add extra comfort and padding when wearing footwear with thinner soles so I don’t feel ever nuance on the ground.

STRONG UMBRELLAS

Stylish clothing and accessories for shorter men are one thing, but staying dry and braving the elements are another. In winter, strong umbrellas are a must. As shorter guys, many of us prefer items that are extremely compact for the convenience, so here are some great options:

TELESCOPIC HARDSHELL UMBRELLA

Designed for incredible durability, the double-canopy Telescopic Hardshell Umbrella is the ultimate winter companion. The ultra-water-resistant fabric keeps rain, wind, and snow at bay, covering your fashionable outfit. It’s telescopic mechanism makes a breeze to carry.

TINY COMPACT STRONG UMBRELLA

The Tiny Compact Strong Umbrella allows single-handed operation for hassle-free water and wind protection. With 9 fiberglass ribs, it is strong for its size. Since it’s available in multiple colors, you can choose one that perfectly complements your winter fit. Small enough to pack light.

EXTRA TINY UMBRELLA

As the name implies, the Extra Tiny Umbrella is made with a highly wind-resistant canopy that protects your style in harsh winters. Among other winter fashion accessories for shorter men, this makes an exceptional choice to withstand winters. “Extra tiny” is an accurate descriptor too. It’s so small, you can store it almost completely flush in one of your backpack’s side pockets.

WINTER CLOTHING BEST PRACTICES AND WARNINGS

Now that we’ve seen the list of winter fashion accessories for shorter men, it’s time to shift focus towards the best practices and warnings of styling up in the season. As a short man, don’t forget to note the following winter fashion accessories for men:

1. To avoid cold, wet socks or sweaty gloves, opt for moisture-battling materials that facilitate breathability. Either way, avoid keeping on wet socks!
2. Instead of stacking up layers, choose smart insulating materials like thermals that trap heat when you can.
3. While many winter coats advertise warmth, consider the material depending on the weather. For example, while wool has some water resistance, it definitely attracts snow.
4. Ensure your boots have a proper grip to get you through icy terrain.
