True, its too wide for my taste. Just his style though.
Its too wide, but it also looks like something you picked up for $5 on close out at TJ Max. There is nothing wrong with doing that, unless it looks like a $5 tie you picked up at TJ Max on close out.
Here is another look that was good. I have wanted a seersucker suit for a long time.
As the great warrior poet Ice Cube once said, if the day doesn't require an AK it is good.
Shirt doesn't match at all. Oh and the jacket is too small, it's pulling.
...and the sleeves are way short.

I know you're not really aware that you're being callow and arrogant, and I know you believe you've got the whole world figured out and know the answers. But know-it-all 20somethings make my pimp hand itchy, because callow and arrogant is annoying.
I saw this in some men's mag years ago and w/the pictorial references, it was funny and made you ponder the statement: Straight men wear what gay dudes wore 5 years ago and gay dudes wear what straight dudes wore 20 years ago.
so ****ing true....gay is the new straight er

cause i'm trying to beat supras.. not lose to them.. who cares.. i did it cause i wanted to
Actually that suit preeety much fits him perfectly...
Esquire runs a good piece every month now where they find average guys on the street and re-tool their look. 90% of the time the American-cut (if that's a term) of just about everything is oversized in every direction. When the suits are pulled in the result is a longer, leaner, and generally much better.
As for casual, there was some corporate sales guy in his golf apparel. His pleated pants were so Hamertime they had to add a disclaimer that the editors didn't alter anything. Plus his golf shirt had 25" diameter arm holes and were down to past his elbows. Sadly, this looks like most golfers I've seen, other than pros.

Actually there is no "pretty much" when you're talking about a "perfectly" fit suit. The bottom line is that middle button is about to pop, the mid section is pulling and the sleeves are too short. If you want to be "trendy" with sleeve and jacket lengths, don't be a jerkoff and wear a shirt that is of traditional length.
I see nothing "trendy" about this guys outfit, he's wearing exactly what he wants, and it fits. He's slouching in the picture, the center button is pulling a bit, not anywhere near popping. He's rocking some french cuffs, and probably has some nice links he wants to be visible. Nothing haphazard about that gentleman's look.

I don't need help with my style, only thing I need is a bigger budget

What exactly did I "do there"?
If he's not trying to be "trendy", then there ABSOLUTELY is a correct guideline for suit sizing. That sizing does not include short sleeves with 2" of shirt showing, strained buttons and pulled material. Then to top it off if he's not being "trendy", you shouldn't wear french cuffs with seersucker. Or a spread collar shirt with that tie.
The point of a seersucker suit is looking more towards the formal side while not actually being formal in warmer months. French cuffs? Contradiction. Metal watch band? Contradiction.
Do you also suggest I wear a button down oxford, bluchers and a G-shock with a tuxedo because "it's wearing exactly what I want"?
I almost put that guy in as he does look good, I just don't like that style of pants.
There are some pics of an Asian gentleman on there rocking a couple of double breasted suits. I almost put him in here too because he really pulls them off great, but I am not a fan of double breasted suits.

Here is one pic of the Asian gentleman that I had mentioned.
Like I said, I am not a fan of double breasted suits but this guy does wear it well. There is another pic of him wearing a different double breasted suit. If I find it I will put it up.
Here he is rocking a nice tan suit.

It reminds me of the suits Denzel Washington and Spike Lee wore in the early parts of Malcolm X.
