I cringe every time I see one of these threads. If you like the way it looks on you, why do you care?

If you're going for the skinny look then buy a skinny suit - prada, dior. It doesn't look right. Jacket arms are too big and the way the jacket was shorten looks off - it's not curved - looks like a straight line

because you buy something, you learn more, you realise you don't like it and you realise you're outside the return period. so you ask for the opinion of a forum full of people to help you when you don't require the knowledge to make the decision yourself, and most of the time the sales adviser has given you poor or incorrect information on fit, a s/a once sold me a 40" blazer, I took his word for it- but then I learnt how things should fit, and now I wear a 36" as for the OP's suit, it's not too short, but if it was longer it would give the illusion of extra height. I do think the waist could be supressed a touch more (depending on how you are shaped underneath), and the arms slimmed down (again depending on whether you have any arms) I have a David Bowie body, I was made for slim fit
