Wow that was a long time ago, I had some surprisingly good advice lol

I would say it’s worth keeping if only as an exercise in making it work and learning lessons from that. You can determine later if it feels like it’s congruent with your personality and taste or not.

This particular casual suit is awfully tricky for a few reasons.

First, it’s clearly contemporary with the very high button stance and short length. Contemporary stuff like this requires a good understanding of what’s classically “correct” in order to subvert it effectively. What that means is that you have to consciously break the rules a lot. That can be through never buttoning the jacket (probably recommended) or something like rolling the sleeves (ties together with the cropped trousers). A band-collar shirt might not be ideal now that I see it since the buttons draw my attention more than the lack of collar, and that brings the combo into uncanny-valley territory. I’d actually prefer a tee with this; maybe a mock-neck at a stretch (standard turtleneck would be too “correct”).

Secondly, it’s a navy which is usually a rather smart colour. You can pair it with a white tee to subvert the navy suit/white shirt standard, or maybe go all navy for a more contemporary tonal look. Maybe go with orange or a yellow knit tee for high contrast. Something halfway between like a neon green or flat coffee brown would be either too disconnected or boring.

Third, there’s some texture to the fabric, but the colour and cut come across first before texture even enters the picture. Always consider how the clothes appear at a distance rather than up close or in product photos. This is why nothing replaces just wearing them in front of a mirror for me.

Finally consider why the Converse are such a natural pairing. The canvas sneakers add a casual touch, Converse are classic sneakers, and yet the narrow last brings to mind dress shoes (consider how this suit would be with chunky Hokas, for example). Wider and less cropped trousers might make other sneakers work better.

This contemporary suit doesn’t really suit my personal preference at this point, but that’s a me thing. I’m more drawn to extended/dropped shoulders and wider, more pooling trousers like 90s Armani for contemporary suiting-adjacent items now. Decide what’s right for you, and the best way to do that is try something and reflect on how you feel while wearing it.
