Foo: you're a small guy, so bright colors and bold patterns make it look like you are trying way too hard (Napoleon complex) and it risks becoming a costume. Given your smaller size and profession, I would argue that you should be even more classicly dressed than me
I think you have your model of dress flipped - instead of bold jacket and simple shirts, you might be far better off the other way around. Much more classic jackets (not boring, just less bold), and more interesting shirts and accessories from Anna and E. Marinella and others.
Do people notice you or your clothes first? It should always be you. Especially in your profession. Clothes frame the face.
I would focus more on classics with some unique twist, which I'm sure Rubinacci can provide, with some of his exclusive fabric sources.
this jacket below is just too over-the-top, imho, and if my lawyer walked up to me dressed like this, I would definitely wonder about him, even if it was on the weekend. There's a reason everybody likes Il Vecchio and Soph in WAYWN and why Cary Grant and Agnelli are timeless
