What is a Double-breasted suit?
There is a factor that stands out in a Double-breasted or DB jacket: the overlapping front closure and the manner in which it wraps about the wearer’s chest. If more be told, it’s generally cut shorter compared to the single-breasted jacket, and the upward buttoning can provide you with a broader-looking, increasingly sculpted shoulder-line. So, how do you style a double-breasted suit? Read on…
Stay on the button
There’s a cardinal rule when you put on a Double-breasted jacket that a lot of folks don’t seem to understand (and mind you, even the Hollywood types for that matter): always leave the bottom button of the suit open. It mars the line; it is restrictive and puts you into a shell. Imagine what it’ll be like if you aren’t able to move!
Dress it down
You don’t need to be a ringmaster when going for a DB; you can afford to mix the jacket with a more casual ensemble. Why not try out a roll neck or a knitted polo shirt for a look that’s exceptional under a double-breasted jacket whilst still appearing smart? You can even go for a T-shirt and jeans combination, formally, with a proper texture on a double-breasted suit.?
