5 Double Breasted Blazers Men Must Try Right Now!

Gone are the days when the double breasted Suits, Jackets and Blazers were the go to fashion attire for the crème de la crème or when these stylish babies somehow stimulated the image of mobsters with a flair for looking sharp or money raking bankers and Wall Street brokers. Now I agree these are not the kinds of suits men should begin with but these definitely are the suits that should be a part of today’s metrosexual Homo sapiens wardrobe.

Keeping this in mind, we have picked the top five styles of DB’s that should be a part of your collection.

1. Traditional Pinstripe:

Rich in history. This was the style that the initial DB jackets, suits and blazers adhered to. Combine this blazer with a shirt and matching pinstripe trousers. Complete the look with dress shoes. You can even add a tie and accessorize with a tie pin.

2. Rustic Tweed:

While the pinstripe DB was reserved strictly for office or events and commitments in town. Tweed was reserved for the country. When teamed with a collared shirt, denims and Chelsea boots this look creates an aura of idyllic style.

3. Dignified Checks:

Especially in grey. The current trend is to dress in a subtle hued formal shirt and keep the suit jacket or blazer and trousers in monochrome checks and adding a pop of colour with a tie or pocket square.

4. Sophisticated Classic:

This choice is about going back to your roots. Inspired from the motivation behind its origin, pick a DB in nautical shades. This is a classic that undoubtedly packs a punch. Combine it with a pair of white chinos and some tan loafers and you are ready to swashbuckle.

5. Urbane Fall:

This is a DB fashioned from soft wool to be used as a stylish outer layer for when the temperatures dip. Pick deep earthy tones for your Blazer. Team it up with a button-down oxford. You can even add a light scarf to the ensemble. The choice of the bottom wear will depend upon how formal or casual you want to keep it.
