00:00 Double-Breasted Suits: Introduction
Few articles of clothing capture the essence of The Golden Age of Menswear like the double-breasted suit. This style of suit reached its peak popularity during the 30s and 40s. However, they started to become less common as the years went on
01:17 Why Men Stopped Wearing: 1. Dated Appearance
04:20 2. Old-Age Associations
06:29 3. They Have a Broader Silhouette
09:21 4. DB Suits Are Seen As More Formal
13:47 5. DB Suits Can Be Confusing!
16:04 6. RTW Construction Changes
18:30 7. Difficult to Fit Off-the-Rack
20:30 8. Perceived Discomfort
23:16 Why You SHOULD Try DB Suits
Despite the reasons discussed, we think everyone should consider the double-breasted suit because they provide styling opportunities that have their own unique flavor. This unexpected silhouette helps you to stand out when you’re looking to make a statement or if you need to.
Double-breasted suits also can be the most flattering thing a man can wear when they fit well
to make an impression. Despite the double-breasted suit being considered more formal, it’s still very much so possible to dress them down if desired. Finally, we think the positive associations with double-breasted jackets are far more.
While double-breasted suits are unlikely to ever become as ubiquitous as their single-breasted counterparts again, they still have a place in any man’s wardrobe. Despite the fact that some might consider them more “difficult” to wear, they can be just as utilitarian as any other suit. We think they can be great either as a style signature, or another option if you just want to switch up your suiting rotation occasionally.
