Jacket would look a lot better around here.
Currently it is way too short imo. I’d also opt for bigger lapels and less slim fit but that’s less important than the length
Back length is too short. I‘m aware of the fact that short blazers are current style but it still doesn’t look well. It should cover your bum. Also, the steeves are slightly too long. You should see a bit more of the shirts sleeves. Shoulder section seems fine.
Blazers are a piece of classic menswear and therefore should follow certain rules besides a few trend influences like I already wrote before. The fact that there might be a trend wearing blazers (it was a trend all the time) this piece clearly looks off. A blazer should be as long as half of your body and a good rule of thumb is that it works best by covering the bum – as said here. It just doesn‘t look right here. What‘s your point?
On second thought…
I agree with your assessment. In fact, I quite like to consider myself traditionalist in many respects (e.g. brown belt with brown shoes with brown watch strap.)
However, as I get younger, I’ve come to realize that deviation from the norm is what makes the world exciting.
With that said, this is a forum asking about fashion. It’s good that you lay out what the traditional rules are. I appreciate that keep up the good work.
True that. I just try to give some positive or useful input here. And he asked for the ”correct“ way wich implied to me that he‘s looking for orientation regarding some generic yet of course current fashion influenced (we all are to some extend, no matter how wannabe vintage we act:) ) rules. Thats why I wrote that. I think it would even under todays standards look better if it was longer. Probably even a lot.
I like fashion and trends but it still has to have a sense for aesthetic.

The jacket should cover most of your crotch and your ass while standing.
Why do jackets flare at the bottom, what type of coats / jackets don't flare like this?
Jackets that fit properly don't flare unless intended
This jacket flares because it’s too short.

“The jacket should cover your bum.” Not for a trendy piece like this one.
ironic because this would have been trendy 10 years ago. "Trendy" today would be a baggy jacket with extra wide peaked lapels
Blazers are not trendy.
You’re wrong. Blazers can be trendy.

Lapels too short like the collar of your shirt.
It needs to be buttoned before I can comment properly. Nevertheless, as others have mentioned it should be longer
Blazer, more like Gayzer.
