I need to go to a formal event tomorrow but I only have two suits I can wear.

A.) One that I haven't worn in ages. When I wear it the length of the sleeve goes to such that if I wore a wrist watch, the edge would touch the edge of the suit.

B.) A new cheap suit you would never wear to an event, but if I wear it it would cover the wrist watch completely.

A seems to be in fashion nowadays but I think traditionally it really should be B. What should I wear?

I am 100x better-looking than both models btw.
 
A.
Never wear a cheap suit unless you want to be viewed as cheap
 
A

B looks like an oversized hobo tux. And don't wear a watch with a tux.
 
only pick B if you are carryling a slingblade or a wrist anchored pistol

 
Never wear a suit unless you want to be viewed as an asshole or gay.
 
A seems a little short, but it much better than B. Add half an inch to A and you're good (it looks like it will pull away if you move your arms up).
 
I prefer B. When I fully bend my arm, my cuffs shouldn't be a third the way up my forearm.
 
they're both a bit off. A is too short and tight. B is too long. I don't know why you'd buy a suit so damn tight like A. Can that guy even button the jacket?
 
The sleeve of your jacket should allow 1/2 inch of your shirt cuff to show when your arms are at the side. That is the ideal length/proportion.
 
Technically you're not suppose to wear a wrist watch to a formal evening event.
 
b looks terrible.

actually both look terrible.




my choice is next time plan ahead.

This Tux looks like fucking dog shit. I wouldn't even model that for money it's so hideous.
 
Read what I wrote. Neither of those two pics are my choices. They are just for reference on he length.

@SSgt Dickweed does option A fit well except sleeves?
B looks crappy and oversized, and is allo cheap according to you.
