The Double Breasted Suits And How To Wear Them

The Double Breasted Suit is again back with the vengeance and we are just loving every minute of it. That was once a staple in every man’s suited wardrobe, Double Breasted Suit has become the rather elusive creature of the sartorial splendour, only recognizable by an extra gust of the wind caused by all sudden double takes. Today, Double Breasted Suit has been modernized and is on the rise all over again— it is leaner than before but just as powerful, masculine, and the elegant as ever. So for those who wish to join a movement, then you must read on.

Innately dressier than the single-breasted counterpart, the Double Breasted Suit has often been associated with larger than the living characters from the 40’s mobsters to the cocky 80’s investment bankers whose beefy suits were only matched by the giant egos. That was then and all this is now. Do not concern yourself with where double-breasted suit has been. Rather, focus on where it is about to take you – to the new heights of the stylistic expression.

 How Shall Modern Double Breasted Suit Fit?

 The old school Double Breasted Suits can be characterized by the boxier silhouette, looser drape, looser drape, extra length, and the incredibly wide lapels. The modern double-breasted Suit has trimmed and slimmed its way to earning the spot in the heart and the closet. As far as jacket goes, the modern suit jacket must be cut close to the torso, with the higher armholes,  natural shoulders, and the trim sleeves that do not create any of the extra bulk. As for trousers, you can try the traditional suit had pleated pants with the cuffs. Given that modern suit jacket has been streamlined, trousers can be too, so it is okay to go to the sans cuffs and pleats. The end result is one of the pure beauty.

 Completing Or Pulling Off The Look:

 There are two divergent approaches for wearing a double-breasted suit:

 1. Let Your Suit Do All The Talking: A Double Breasted Suit is a statement on its own, so when wearing one for the dressier occasions (weddings, work, etc.), you may keep the tie and shirt combo relatively conservative with the solid colors or the basic patterns.

2. Double Down: On another hand, since you have already crossed Rubicon of the sartorial safety, either go big or go home. So if an occasion allows for it, continue the theme of the confidence with bold patterns and colors for the tie, shirt, socks,  and even the pocket square because if there are any of the suits that can handle it, it is the one with the two breasts.

The above-mentioned are some of the tips to wear the Double Breasted Suits.
