Whether it’s a jacket or a suit, there are some basic suggestions for wearing this timeless garment with class and confidence. Let’s discover them together.

The double breasted jacket is ageless, but recognizes certain occasions. It is not recommended for a groom unless it’s a theme wedding that requires this type of dress code. In principle, its use is a wink to daily wear.

In this regard, a suite with a double breasted jacket always expresses a certain tone of authority, excellent in solid colors or chalk stripes, or even micro-patterns. For more creative contrasts, there are wider chalk stripes, plaids and Prince of Whales patterns that surely don’t go un-noticed. Remember that you give sense to the suit, not the other way around.

For the separates outfit, plays of light and dark colors or solids and patterns are interesting.

It is recommended to keep the jacket unbuttoned when sitting, to avoid raising the lapels and making wrinkles that create a messy look. It is important to re-button the jacket immediately upon standing. And finally, it’s a better to button only the bottom button rather than the center button for an easier look.
