Seeing Double Breasted Again

The double-breasted suit is being seen again this fall. The tailored classic suggests Wall Street power and old Hollywood glamour. While never out of fashion, double- breasted suits, sport coats and blazers are beginning to be seen with more prominence than in the past few seasons.

Look for the double-breasted jacket to be worn both dressed up in the traditional suit sense, and dressed down with casual trousers, sweaters and even jeans as younger men adopt the double-breasted jacket as a fresh discovery.

From Europe's finest stores to every major American designer line, you can find the classic six-on-two [six- button, two-to-button] with a touch of shape, and there's the updated four-on-one [four-button, one-to-button]. It's a nice touch of classic civility and sophistication with style.
