Gentlemen: I am planing to get a dark brown suit with thin white pin stripes that are 3cm apart. The problem is that I am 5' 6'' tall ("short"). What do you people think. Should I go for it or not? Thanks for your help.

No the shorter you are the closer a stripe you want, you will apperar to be taller then you actually are. If you get them that far apart then you will appear to be short and fater or more so.

Bowtielover gave you a great advice..Look at bead stripes or tennis stripes, they're very thin and will create a better optical illusion making you taller.
