The closer version is more engaging, and you're using the frame better. There's no reason to show that much pink/yellow in the wider one, you're losing the whole bottom half of the frame.

The first one!

It captures more of the presumed subject. I'm much more interested in his face than the fabrics.

Though I do wonder what it would look like with a depth of field covering the fabric materials...
