Sad days. I like the ties and the wedding photos aren't my call...

Overall it's not that bad, to me the pants don't look terribly long but it's kind of hard to tell because you're not standing up straight and you're not wearing shoes. I do agree it's too tight in the midsection, as for the shoulders maybe experiment with different padding. I also agree that a two button will work to your advantage, and if you had peak lapels you would probably look a little more debonair.

Are we allowed to say something about the haircut? my thought it, you spent a lot on the suit and look like you could go kill it in the meeting, but the haircut makes me think you rode a Yamaha speed bike into the meeting. I'd go w/ something more conservative unless you sell cars, the spikes diminish the suit a bit. Other than that, i think the fit is not bad at all.

I just deleted a really snide reply. Next up: I'm being serious.

The suit has some issues beyond trouser length etc. Post some better pics and I can tell you more. It's too hard to tell like this.

Trousers are too long for sure, but the biggest thing for me is that the but of the suit isn't very tailored to your silouhette... it just kind of "hangs".

A couple of thoughts. For your build the two button looks better. The deeper V lengthens the torso. The more natural the shoulder the better off as well. You don't need excess padding, and the shoulder on the three button juts out quite a lot. You could perhaps have the trousers slimmed down a bit and you want only a slight break. As someone else suggested heavy shoes will balance things out. Final thought is the Windsor knot. I know some people like them, but the excess fabric is not doing you any favors if you are trying for a more slimming look.

+1 on the pants slimming. would balance out the fit of the jacket. (which looks pretty good, especially compared to what others have posted in the past.)

Post pics with the jacket off too. It may just be the jacket making you look heavy.
