Now that I've stopped growing vertically, I thought it was time I revamp some parts of my wardrobe. I think I have a good idea of which pieces have gotten too small, but sometimes it's hard to tell how something fits because I've worn the same clothes for many years now. My main concern is a lot of my tops are starting to look too short/small, but please do comment on anything you notice.

Try raising your arms. You should be able to do so without exposing any skin. This is a rough rule, but a good starting place.

Nothing looks too short or tight to me. That being said, I think there is a distinction between fit and style that should be drawn here. Everything fits you well to my eye. But you may decide that from a stylistic perspective that you want to try a boxier T-shirt, or straighter cut jeans. It’s really up to you.

You're slim, so these slimmer fits flatter you. You could get away with slimmer chinos, if you wanted. But nothing appears to be ill-fitting.

Thanks for everyone's input. Neither of you think the green Harrington is too short/tight? I was under the impression that those jackets are supposed to fit looser around the waist

It looks a little slim-fitting but I would say that's the styling of the jacket, not a tight fit. Harrington jackets are traditionally supposed to be a little blousy to allow free range of movement, crimped at the waist with an elastic rib, and fall at the hips. Modern iterations of the Harrington vary on all these points, and some like yours are cut slimmer.
