To my eye the body length and shoulder width look perfect, as noted already the arms look borderline short, but I wouldn’t have noticed if it wasn’t for the focus on them, nor are they definitively short. I think you need to consider how much you will reach for it, or if your qualms about it will put you off wearing it regularly.

Personally, I would size up. I don't disagree with Giles and Neph but I was in a similar position and decided to size up and I'm glad that I did. In my case, the chest was a bit tight on a medium but the arms were also a tad short. It was very apparent when I reached for something. You can see my post from years back in which I was on the fence:

That said, I don't think it looks bad. But, if you're like me and are going to agonize about it, time after time standing in front of the mirror wondering if you should've sized up, just size up now and get it over with

One good reason for sizing up would be the flexibility it gives you. You could fit shirts and hoodies under it.

What's a shirt?
