The Young Man's Guide to Nailing the Double-Breasted Suit

The movie "Kingsman" has become a bible for teaching entry-level suit lovers how to dress as a true gentleman. In the movie, half of the time everyone's wearing double-breasted suits. While some became fans of double-breasted suits, a lot of people argue that double-breasted suits are not a good fit for the young generation, because they make people look much older than they actually are.

How Would a Younger Man Choose the Right Double-Breasted Suit?

1. Choose Your Colors

Light colors can give a double-breasted suit a more relaxed feel. Navy and charcoal work at any age, especially for formal settings. Our Complete Color Guide offers more ways to build a coordinated palette.

2. Use Your Pocket Square

A pocket square adds color or texture without changing the whole outfit. Choose one that complements the shirt or tie.

3. Choose Plaid Design

A plaid design can add interest if you want an alternative to a solid suit. Keep your shirt and accessories simple so the pattern remains the focus.

4. Match with Your Loafer

If it's a summer suit, just wear it like it's summer! Choosing a loafer is a great idea to get a lot of attention and compliments.

These are 4 tips that you can use when choosing a double-breasted suit. Since it's back in fashion this summer, we hope this helps you when selecting your next outfit.

I think double breast suits look dam good in solids, strips, plaids, etc. It does not have anything to do with Ur age! It’s all in how U hook them Up with accessories, with color cordinations! I can make any suit look stylish two button, three button, single button it’s all in how U accessorize!
