1. A three piece definitely needs a tie!
2. A jumper UNDER a waistcoat! WTF?
3. For christ sake get a decent pair of shoes man. A decent looking suit is ruined with them pit byeuts.
Going for a 30's inspired look mate, and i just prefer boots, there in my blood now. I wouldn't usually wear a jumper underneath a waistcoat but it was cold and couldn't be arsed to wear a overcoat. I wear whatever makes me happy at the end of the day. I like to wear a scarf or a neckerchief more than a tie most times, don't find ties that comfortable.
Re 3. The boots are well polished and there was a time when boots were worn with suits.
They are a bit battered but i'm not going for the country gent look, from the pictures i have seen boots wore almost worn universally with suits among ordinary people, and quite big hobnailed ones at that.
A work suit ages better than a disco suit.
I'm still trying to place @donkeyjacket2 suit into a particular decade, narrow lapels and waistcoat looks paradoxical for 70s and 80s
