The double breasted refers to a coat or jacket with two parallel columns of buttons and overlapping front flaps. It dates back to the 60’s and 70’s. Double breasted is now back on top of the trend list looking fresher, cooler and dapper.
The striking charm of the overlapping flap is the perfect example of a gentleman’s style. It projects a masculine, powerful and elegant look. This easy going and wearable trend could be worn to the office, dinner, bar, wedding and event. It is appropriate in any situation where you would wear a single breasted suit or jacket. Double breasted is a bold statement, keep your shirt and tie combination relatively conservative with solid colours or basic patterns. You can accessorize with a bow tie, pocket square , brooch, wristwatch and a nice pair of shoe.
