Trousers need to be hemmed. Can't comment on sleeve length, as you blacked out your hands.

All in all, the suit looks one size too large for you. The shoulders are bowing/dipping on the sides, trousers seem to have lots of fabric in thigh area, etc.

 

Pants, in my opinion, need to be hemmed as previous poster mentioned. Shouldn't be a tough thing since most tailors I would think can do it. Another area I would look at if you have both hands to your side so your suit sleeves sit on your shirt sleeves - where do the suit sleeves fall relative to your hand? Does your shirt sleeve show (ie: is your suit sleeve shorter than where the shirt sleeve falls)?

 

Do what I'm saying in this exact order and you'll be fine. First get your pants hemmed, there should be no drag or overlapping onto your shoes. Second, get the pants tapered at the bottom, you want them to be form fitting. Finally, may sure your short sleeve are longer than the blazers sleeves, if not get the blazer sleeves taken in. Altogether, you should be able to do this for free or like $30 at the retailer you bought this suit from.

 

Thanks for the reply everyone. The pants are definitely going to be hemmed and tapered. I got the suit like that so didn't do any alterations. I'm going to try to size down. Do you suggest I go for 41 or 40(This is a 42)? Also, how is the length of the jacket overall? Should I go with Long instead of regular (an inch longer)?

 

Chest width and shoulder fit seem fine. With regards to jacket length, can you check whether the fabric falls neatly in the inside of your fingers when your hands are rested at your sides and fingers are cupped? (standing, of course) This would tell you whether the length is OK or not.

Cannot comment on sleeves, since hands are blacked out, but I think that they should be OK. Perhaps you might want to trim by half an inch to show some shirt cuff. Again, cannot comment with certainty.

Pants definitely need to be shortened, as they break thrice. I would also take out excess fabric on the sides, as in the hip and side leg area there's some creasing that shouldn't be there.

Shoe tone could be shinier.

 

Shop somewhere that has a sales person that knows suits and how they should fit. Be sure you are comfortable in it and it still sits well on your body - in line with your shoulders, drapes nicely over your chest and doesn't show off your package to the world. Then make sure you have it tailored accordingly. Request that they tape or pin up your pant legs to check how they want them hemmed. Then sit down and make sure you like the length of the pants sitting as well as standing. Make sure it is conventional, not double breasted or some curren fad.
