maybe it's the angle but looks kind of awkward... seems too big around the waist

yeah..
haha nice... Not bad.. but I Agree with the above, maybe get the coat tailored. Or are you borrowing it? Go to a few different tailors to get appraisals so you don't get taken.
Waist has to come in a lot. Make them do it right: take the jacket apart and take in the material at the back seams.
The button placement looks slightly weird. Not sure if that's the angle.
Lengthen the cuffs half an inch.
Can't really see the pants.
Bankerella wants you to turn around.... Jealous
you go to FIT for ugrad b'rella?
Yeah, they have a great finance program.
Yep. If you want my advice on the pants, you gotta give me an ass shot.
This is not the place to ask for this type of advice.
Also, we're going to need more pictures.
Not sure if it's the jacket style or what but the jacket appears too short (sleeves too). Get the Long version of your size if you aren't already
Looks weird to me. Very boxy as well. Jacket is a little short, but you should be able to get away with it. Suppress the waist
An online forum is a pretty hilarious place to ask if a suit fits. Love it. Take it to wherever you bought it, suspicous to me they didn't tailor it in the first place...eBay?
Is it just me, or does this 2-button suit look like it was previously a 3-button suit. It explains the high lapels and misplaced button.
Good eye, BT. I see it now too. SB for you.
OP, get them to re-convert this thing to the three-button it used to be. That'll help fix what's wrong with it.
if you want to play it safe, stick with this style:

Yeah, jacket is too short. Easy point of reference is when you try it on, with your arms at your sides, you should make a fist with the bottom of your jacket in your hand and it should just touch the palm of your hand. Clearly if you did this with that jacket it wouldn't even make it into your hand. The sleeves also need to be let down so only about 1/4" of the shirt cuff is showing. That's up to the discretion of you. And like everyone else has said, needs to be taken in at the waist a good amount. Find any good tailor and they should easily be able to notice these things.
Get the sides tucked in, should help with the rest.
The photo is at a strange angle, sorry.
This is a brand new Armani suit bought from Armani.com so I can't take it to the website for altering ;)
Yes. I think I will go to a tailor, but I'm not aware of any that aren't extortionate. Is a local tailor ok? Or I need an actual traditionally established suit tailor (I'm from London, so Saville row is available, but price is insane).
So, just get them to take in the waist? (is the length acceptable? I like them a little shorter than usual). How much are we looking at to get this suit to fit nicely? (roughly)
Which line is this? Emporio, Coleczioni or The Black Label (Giorgio Armani)?
I'm very very thin!
Yeah, this is a weird looking Armani suit - normally, Italian suits have a much slimmer fit (granted, Armani is really americanized). I want to say it's long, but it looks like it stops where it should relative to your pants. I think it that "2-button that looks like a 3 button" anomaly mentioned above.
Waist should come in. Shoulders and sleeves thankfully look good - although a bit short. You'd be ok if there isn't extra material for lengthening. Unless you are at a bank that makes you wear a suit regularly, it should be entirely acceptable with minor fixes.
Honestly, appropriate dress matters way more for interviews than actual work...at 100+ hours a week, nobody cares as long as you look vaguely professional. People just don't have the mental bandwidth to care whether you have rubber or leather soled shoes, or whether your suit is Italian or American. As long as you don't go way out of line (e.g. contrasting collar, cufflinks, and braces) you are good to go.
You mean Armani suits are really americanized in the sense that they tend to be bulkier than the typical Italian suits? Maybe it is just the particular suits that I bought, but I find the one Giorgio Armani suit I own to be of a much slimmer fit than my Canali suit. Actually the Canali suit looks rather bulky and has a very similar cut to the typical American suits.
Yeah, you really need to go custom with a 29 inch chest 28 inch waist. Most suits are made with a 6 or 7 inch drop - so even a suit with a 28 inch waist (not many out there) would have a 35 or 34 inch chest.
I can believe that Giorgio Armani would be a slimmer cut - the Emporio Armani suits I have tried were all quite bulky. Also terrible values - basically the RL Green Label of Armani.
high school skinny as we call it
how old are you.
10 miles a week isn't a lot. Eat a damn steak
I run 5 miles every morning, but that's no excuse to look like a skeleton.
Wow dude that's 1095 miles / year. You a suggah daddy?
Apparently Darwin was wrong. 105 pounds is a fucking meal.
I think it might just be the angle, but it doesn't really look right around the waist. Shoulders and sleeves look good, though.
Yeah this isn't working; seems like there is zero waist suppression. It fits fine at the shoulders though. Lapels are also rather big on your skinny frame. Sleeves seem a bit long, it's bordering too much cuff. Could be the lighting but the pants and the jacket don't seem to match perfectly (probably lighting). Idk if I'm blind or something, but it's black and black suits are usually a no-no. Go for Navy/Charcoal.
Best thing would be to return it and buy a new one from J Crew./Indochino/Black Lapel, as these companies tend to give slimmer fits and more modern details that would suit your body (also the quality is not bad either; half canvassed, solid fabrics). If you can't afford those (Indochino is 350-400, Black Lapel and JCrew 500-600), look for some of the slim fit stuff at a place like Macys or H&M (JCrew outlet also has a decent fitting suit apparently, around 200). A cheap suit that will fit you well is probably going to be polyester or a woold blend though.
I cant help but think of Kenny Bania when I see "armani suit"
Thats GOLD Jerry, GOLD!
BANIA!!
You need a custom tailored suit. Don't even attempt to tailor that suit, because it doesn't fit you at all and the lapels are far too wide to suit your slim frame.
Also, go do some deadlifts.
The fit is.....pretty damn weird and awkward. This Armani suit is going to need a lot of surgery.
I would just save yourself some time and return the thing for a better fitting suit, then tailor that to fit better.
