This is what I wore at the club two weekends ago:
*Had to take the picture down after a short while*
I had gotten a lot more attention from women than the usual type outfits. It wasn't that expensive neither.

RougeNoir:
You could improve the look by having the jeans put up. Not having the legs scrunched up like that looks a lot better.

You want to see me? Ok, but it won't be up too long though.

Looks good. The white watch is a nice touch.

@IP
The look is good, the two changes I would have done is
1. No skinny tie, looks to think compared to your frame, if you are in shape which you are the normal tie likely suits you better
2. You can still use the white square for now, the issue is the flat look doesn't look good with white pants, if you're going with the controlled chaos look (you're already wearing white pants) I would have gone with the poofy square look instead of the 4 point or straight across (too bland offsetting the loud outfit)
7.5/10 (new square and pattern on suit, different tie, switch belt but that has been beaten to death already).

i like the suits on the first page. very stylish. ^ this is just a basic clean, sharp look rather than playboy mode.

When I get mine puffed just the way I want I pin it, then stuff it in the pocket.

Yawn. Boring. No pizzaz. Corporate type coming off work.
What separates you from the average walking down the street?
Heres a good exercise. Post up in a well-trafficked spot and check the general level of attire. Go 1 or 2 levels above that and youll be set.
In LA, it runs a whole gamut- T-shirt+jeans, V-neck+jeans, Dress shirt+jeans, Vest+Tie+ jeans, Blazer+V-neck+ jeans, Suit, Suit w/boring square (aka solid white presidential fold).
Now add a azure blue pocket square to that suit and its flashy. G-man is absolutely right. It is that subtlety and touch of a square that adds flair.
WIA- For most of men, our time being masters of our own fate, kings in our own castles is short. Even those of us in the game will eventually succumb to ease of servitude rather than deal with the malaise of solitude

Coat Sleeve length is important for 2 reasons:
1. If you wear cuff links, you should be able to see them peeking out. Otherwise, what's the point?
2. Your watch should NOT be hidden, especially if you're rocking a Rolex. Girls notice watches like a mofo.
Details details details.

Wearing a suit does give your image and status a boost but it does come with some downsides, especially in summer and/or tropical weather.
The old skool Miami Vice style probably gets a bad rap these days but it checked off a bunch of points on making wearing a suit in summer more comfortable:
1. Unconstructed jacket - takes off a couple of layers
2. Wearing tank tops or unbuttoned t-shirts or collared shirts
3. No belt
4. Not wearing socks
5. Wearing breathable shoes such as espadrilles or huarache shoes
6. Light colors/pastels
7. Light natural fabrics that breath better: linen, silk or linen/silk mixes
Huarache shoes
Maybe some designer can update the style towards something more 20th century..
I also want to say that the suit jacket does limit mobility in my upper body - my forward arm reach lessens. Maybe get a jacket with a high armpit or with a stretchy material.
