Double-Breasted Jackets


The double-breasted look is celebrating a comeback on both the runways and street style. I am not really convinced of the double breasted suit because it is very hard to pull off (you have to be very slim or have an athletic build) but am loving cardigans and informal jackets with that look. The general opinion is that the jacket should also be buttoned at all times, even when sitting, otherwise it will lose its shape and look strange. I actually think it really depends on the material and fit of the jacket. These jackets can be styled with plain white t-shirts or white dress shirts.

  9. Hi sweety and thank you so much for your comment.

    I love that you have dedicated a whole blog to mens fashion. I looked true it and I really like the different posts. If there is one thing(since you asked me:)) I would do about this blog, is to change up the design. Do the pictures bigger, and have all the pictures in the same size and in the middle of the blog. I say this because it makes the pictures pop a bit more :)
    Keep up the good work .
