It looks too big on you. Trousers are lumpy and the jacket is too wide. If your gonna spend that much money on a suit get some decent shoes too.

You need to buy a size or two down and buy a short, not a regular.

Not to be mean, but it looks like you're wearing your dad's suit.

When the sleeves and trousers are shortened (a lot) it will look a lot better. Still a bit big, but probably kinda wearable. You could get your tailor to slim it down a bit too. I would try to size down in the future, but that would mean getting size 34S ideally, which is bloody hard to find (that's my size too).

You might be able to get away with getting 36S, which shouldn't be too hard to find, and having it tailored and the chest brought in a bit. That should be better than 36R, the regular length is definitely too long for you. How tall are you exactly?

The main problem with Yoox is that they only ever seem to list the chest sizes, never short/regular/long lengths.

(BTW - when I say size 34/36 I mean US/UK sizing, which would mean 44/46 in EU sizing. Can you get a tape measure and actually measure around your chest, just under your armpits? This should tell you more or less what size you should be buying, 34" chest = size 34)

I will return it to Yoox anyway, it's an expensive suit and I want it to fit me well not to be "wearable".

Sanguis:

I have 36" chest but overall i'm small (169cm / 5' 55'') so I have the same problem with most suits/jackets etc...

A sz.44 would be very tight. Maybe I have to try Indochino, what do you think?

Thank you all

Way too long. Return it. The suit pockets are almost level with your trousers' waistband. That's not good at all. You need a 44S (or 46S and tailored).

Having said that, though, if you wear this to a club, most people won't give a **** and if you tell the chicks it's D&G, they'll be on ********* soon enough.

My sentiments exactly.

Too much hassle, if you are willing to spend money to get a great look get a suit custom made for you.

You could spend between 1000 and 1500 at the lower end of the scale.

It's a bit trendy good for goign out but not for work or anything more professional. aslo the jacket seems way to big in the shoulders and sleeves also the pants are too long. You might consider going down a size. Or you will have to have a lot of work done to the suit.
