Lil Wayne: Keepin' It Lil

How do you pull off ultra-baggy hip-hop steez if you're a short man?

If you're Lil Wayne [5'6"] you pair baggy, low-slung jeans with comparatively form-fitting shirts. So while the pants shorten his legs, he's also lengthening his torso. He also favors simple T-shirts and tanks (or no shirt at all), which further reinforce the lengthening effect, and draw attention to his slim, athletic physique.

You've got to give it to the guy. While Lil Bow Wow and Lil Romeo dropped the diminutive descriptors in their names, Wayne maintains. Props for keepin' it Lil.

1968: Malcom McDowell in if….

Malcom McDowell [5’8”] in his debut role: Lindsay Anderson’s 1968 feature film if....


Rushmore by way of Clockwork Orange. The violence in the final 10 minutes hasn't aged well in the days of actual school violence -- but otherwise, a decent flick. Malcolm's '60s British prep-school get-up is still on point. As well as the lovely Christine Noonan. And that sweet-looking BSA motorbike he steals.
