Classic cut jackets tend to have more longevity and age more gracefully as our bodies deteriorate.
Following Derek Guy on Twitter is a pro follow if you're interested in menswear and it's history. Here's a good thread of him tearing down Nick Adams' fit

I feel like those kind of style critiques lose the forrest through the trees. I see those kind of fit comments all the time on the internet but in reality nobody is going to ever notice. Besides, a suit coat only fits perfect when you're standing completely still with your hands at your side. As soon as you're at the boardroom table, or walking, or at your desk, or grabbing something, or driving, or doing anything but standing still, your suit isn't going to hang perfect.

Styles change but sometimes only in subtle ways. If your suit has pleats on the pants or cuffs on the pants, you might be able to alter those as those aren't as common these days.
Double breasted suits are all the rage now when only a few years ago they were considered old fashioned.
I also agree that formal dress should be for funerals or at least an effort.
Don't over think it, people always look way better in a suit.

I thought pleats and cuffs were back in style? Personally I've gone all 5 pocket pants lately because I don't find the workplace as formal as it used to be but I'd wear pleats and cuffs to a formal event. Bonus, pleats fit big thighs better.
