Hey Styleforum,
Been a lurker for a while but looking for recommendations and advice on fit. Gradually dipping my toes into slightly more formal looks away from streetwear and shirt & slacks business casual. I'm not too familiar with suiting advice and I find there to be a lot of conflicting things on the internet.
As a bit of background, I'm mid 20's, work in tech, and really prefer to have a more modern/casual look, especially due to my social and work circles. I don't think I could pull off the traditional menswear as well as an older gentleman, and I think I would prefer to keep a more edgy/fashion look so that I don't exclude both engineers - who can be a bit stereotypical - as well as finance/consulting folks.
Please ignore the quarantine hair ?
I have this jacket from SuitSupply:
This I can still return (and also have in a beige color). I feel like the length is too long for a more casual sportcoat/blazer - if it was ~1" shorter I'd think its perfect. I'd probably also want to take in the waist a bit, I imagine.
This jacket from Theory:
This was tailored and closer to my ideal look - especially if it were to be dressed down (say with chinos or jeans + sneakers). Would this be judged in more traditional environments?
And this suit from Spier & Mackay:
This has also been tailored. I feel the shoulder is slightly off, and in general a bit fuller/wider than I'd prefer.
Do you guys have any recommendations?
I'm trying to pick up a couple more suits (grey, charcoal) and a couple more jackets (traditional navy blazer, stone/beige/grey) to round out my wardrobe.
Sorry for the poor photo lighting as well, I really wanted to try the SuSu jackets as they came in but it was close to nighttime.
Thank you!
