Hey everyone,

I'm a young professional who owns a couple suits, and following the advice of many here and across the internet, I know that a suit jacket's length should be where I can cup it with my fingers when my arms are resting. However, I've been looking for blazers to upgrade my everyday look, and in various online clothes stores like asos.com and amazon etc. all I see is really short blazers that end where the wristbone is. Here is an example of a blazer that I've got my eyes on, but I do not know if it's a good fit or not:

Should be I be wearing something that is sized like this in my street/smart wear?

Thank you very much for your opinions, looking forward to hear!
