The eye is drawn to the size of the collar so would suggest a better fitting shirt may be plain white

I didn’t adjust the shirt collar well, but I think I should buy a white shirt and waistcoat. Depends on weather.

The lapels on the coat are narrow, but you can get by with that.
Lose the shirt. Go to Uniqlo and get a slim, very reasonably priced spread collar dress shirt in your size.
No button down collar...

To be more specific about the shirt—that shirt is far too big in the neck for you. It should fit snugly around your neck all around. You should be able to fit two fingers between your neck and the collar neckband.
the tips of the collar leaves should fit under your jacket collar.
It’s hard to tell from the photos but the jacket might be tight—the lapels shouldn’t be popping off your chest, unless it’s because of how you’re posing. If it’s tight in the chest, you might be better off unbuttoning it, unless you can find another jacket that fits better.

Just a thought, but if you take a look at the fit and composition of the clothing worn by the members posting in the WAYWRN thread here you'd get a good idea of where to make adjustments.

Thank you. I have confirmation this Saturday, my parents and I have chosen to buy a new blue three-piece suit (this one is bigger with a vest and a white shirt). I also think the weather will be nice for that, so it won’t be hot or cold. Thanks once again.
