Yes, you are. I like this. Your shirt looks really good, too. Don't put your hand in your pocket so much, though.

I like the suit, it's fashionable, and the pockets work. It's got a slim silhouette without being overly fashion-forward. If I were to critique something, the pants strike me as a tad short. I like them to fall down my shoe a bit more. This might be a function of slim pit pants, however. Also, is that a paisley tie? You can step that up with a more striking pattern. Good job!

The trousers look good... Can't see much else. Take better pictures.

Thank guys,
Just started as an intern while still at school (think Ibnking/ private equity), so I'm building up my wardrobe. This is my first score since the interview suit.
I'm thinking of adding a white cotton pocket square to this look and also pairing with a pair of dark brok AE park ave's.

Not sure what this means; altered, made, etc.? In any case, jacket is too short.

It seems like the pant cuff width is too wide for the pant length to be that short. Little to no break is very popular right now but people often forget that if you want this look you also need to slim the trouser leg; otherwise your cuff is flopping all over the place when you walk.

OTR E Zegna and Caliban shirt that I just got back from alterations.
The jacket sits a little lower, but in the pic it is riding up because my arm is up to take the photo.

I really like the minimal-break look, but I cant go any slimmer because I have large thighs. Cuff flaps seem to be minimal so far, lol.

Looking good. Trousers could be a longer I agree. Lovely shirt collar too, but my eyes go straight to that Windsor knot. It just makes the whole outfit look a tad stiff & contrived to my mind. With a four in hand or half Widsor with dimple and slightly off centre, it would give the outfit that slightly individual, less studied look.

You can just taper the leg if it starts to bother you, unless your ankles are as thick as your thighs. LOL.

Thanks for the advice guys.

I really like this idea; I agree the full windsor can make you look a little stiff. I definitely need to switch up my knots from time to time. Thanks

I like the way your pants look in this picture as well. However, I would be able to critique a little better if you were to provide more than one picture.

Something about your jackets seems a little odd. Especially with the waist, I might have something to do with your posture.
