Fall Fashion: The Double-breasted Suit

To take a fashion break from the traditional single-breasted suit, get prepared for fall and try a modern double-breasted suit instead. In fact, the double-breasted suit made a chic appearance this fall in pieces by designers including Miuccia Prada, Giorgio Armani, and Dries Van Noten. The following is a brief look at this season’s hottest double-breasted men's suits, available at Menswear eCollection.com.

This season’s doubled-breasted suits are designed for younger men, according to Details magazine. The lapels are smaller, the buttons are closer together, the length is cropped and in some cases the classic six-button construction has been pared down to four. Menswear eCollection offers a variety of double-breasted suits to choose from, including a four-on-six, double-breasted silhouette featuring peak lapels and no vents. Say goodbye to the traditional tuxedo this fall and wear this great suit in black, charcoal or navy. For a more stylish approach to the traditional business look, we recommend our double-breasted 100 percent wool series, featuring peak lapels and no vents. This six-button suit is lightweight and ideal for year-round wear.

Double-breasted suits can look great on nearly all body types. Although six-button suits are commonly associated with big and tall clothes, tall, lean men who want to add some bulk can also sport six-button double-breasted suits from Menswear eCollection.com. To look stylish in one of our double-breasted suits, make sure to keep the buttons fastened when standing. In addition, we recommend staying away from bold white pinstripes and opting for subdued tonal chalk stripes instead. For a modern take on this classic look, drop the tie and try wearing a cashmere scarf tucked under the lapels.

Menswear eCollection offers a collection of high-quality double-breasted suits, all under $150. In addition to our double-breasted suits, you can also find a wide array of single-breasted suits, including modern three-button and two-button suit ensembles.
