In the absence of a dedicated fashion forum i thought I'd ask the question.

I love wearing a suit.

Is this the perfect fit? Often people seem to wear them too tight and with the sleeves a little short.

Now admittedly the man maketh, but to me this is spot on.

What do others think?

Classic Yuppy look from the 80s, dark blue pinstripe worsted suit and white shirt, looks a well made, well cut suit using good material.

Not sure about brown shoes with a blue suit but doesnt really matter

The shoes need to be a few shades darker, but that looks fine.

IMO, it also helps that he's got a decent (!) physique.

Ooooh! Does sir need half an inch off the leg to make it hang better on sir's legs? Do you sir? Half an inch makes quite a difference doesn't it sir? Are sir's creases a bit crinkled sir? Are they sir? Ooooh, suits you sir!

I always thought Daniel Craig wore them best.

Obviously no matter what I wear I look like I'm smuggling a wok.

Not for me. I think it looks dated, and too big.

I think the problem with that man is his size - he would struggle to wear what I would call a good suit. It's just too baggy. I'm also not a pin stripe fan. And I'd always wear a tie!

This is more me (although, unfortunately, not me!)

Trousers are too baggy at the bottom for me, but when you have quads his size there's probably not a lot you can do.

The wardrobe department must spend a fortune on the suits and tailoring.

Whenever I see somebody wearing one of those absurdly 'skinny' suits my first thought is it's fresh off the rail at Topman or similar.

A suit should be timeless, that looks more like a high street fashion statement to me, reminds of the shiny suit brigade.

You'd class that as an absurdly skinny suit? I think it's a just a suit that actually fits, cut in a modern style.
