What type of style you adopt or can adopt depends to a large extent on your height. An ensemble suitable for a tall person may not be suitable for a short person. Therefore, it’s important to come to a common definition for what we mean by tall, medium, and short for Bangladeshi men.

Since, the average height of Bangladeshi male is 5 feet 6 inches; we may define short, medium, and tall as follows:

Short:                    below 5 feet 4 inches

Medium:             between 5 feet 5 inches and 5 feet 9 inches

Tall:                        Above 5 feet 9 inches

The next question is, are you overweight?

Decide for yourself from the Body Mass Index (BMI) chart below:

The x-axis shows weight; on the botton is weight in kilograms and on the top is weight in pounds. The y-axis shows height; on the left in meters and on the right as feet and inches.

For example, if your weight is 150 pounds (or 70 kilograms) and your height is 5 feet 7 inches (or 1.7 meters), the above chart shows you fall in the yellow area or the normal range of BMI. In other words you are not overweight.

Similarly, if your weight is 100 kilograms and your height is 5 feet 7 inches, you fall in the red zone of the chart, which means you are overweight.
