Mens Fashion: Double Breasted Suits

A Fashion Trend Making A Comeback
In men's fashion the double breasted suit is making a trendy comeback. A very popular suit selection during the 1930s to the 1950s this style was the epitome of a well dressed man. You can see Humphrey Bogart to the left in the movie Casablanca has one on. It fell out of vogue for a few decades and then became a fashion choice from the mid 1980s to the mid 1990s. We are starting to see another swing back to the classic look of double breasted suits with trendy men who are looking for a fresh look.

A Black Double Breasted Suit Is Very Versatile
There are many options when selecting a double breasted suit. I feel that black is a great choice because it can look very formal when you need for it to but you can also dress it down, too. You can wear the jacket with jeans or different trousers giving you a totally different look.

Todays Double Breasted Suits
and how to wear them
When choosing a suit for the updated look be sure to have one tailored with a wide and top peaked lapel. This accentuates your chest and makes a statement of power. Your jacket should be a bit shorter than you normally wear your jackets and blazers for a proper look.
The best look with a tie is to select the wider ties instead of the skinny ties. Those fun and funky skinny ties just do not work, they sort of get lost and do not compliment the overall look you are going for.

Pinstripes Are Often A Fabric Choice
in double breasted suits of mens fashion
There are so many color choices for a suit for men. Often times the fabric chosen to tailor a double breasted suit will be a pinstriped fabric. You can find these pinstripes in a subtle form or sometimes even a bolder style. A solid color seems more versatile to me, but the look of a pinstripe can be very appealing too.

The DB Extends Your Wardrobe
The "DB" or double breasted suit really extends your wardrobe. Obviously you have the very classic look of a well tailored suit for business and evening wear. Your jacket can be worn with a nice pair of jeans to give you a casual look. You can also choose to wear the jacket with a different color of trousers for a look of dressy casual.
You can choose to wear a white or light colored pair of trousers with a dark double breasted jacket in the summer for a very cool look. In the fall and winter just select a darker pair of trousers for the same look with a warmer feel.
You can create a new contemporary look to your wardrobe with just a hint of the retro look when you choose to add a double breasted suit to your wardrobe.

- Real gents dress up in classic double breasted suits with Fedora hats to match. Nothing beats the good old 1930s, 40s and 50s cinema classic look.

Choose a wide tie like this one to wear with your double breasted suit. Skinny ties just do not look well at all.
