ill-fitting suit

Poorly tailored attire

An ill-fitting suit is one that doesn't match the wearer's body properly—too tight in the shoulders, too loose in the chest, sleeves too long or short.

The phrase often appears figuratively for anything awkward or unsuited to its context: The new corporate culture sat on him like an ill-fitting suit.
