Men’s double breasted suits are defined by an overlapping jacket front and two rows of buttons, giving them a sharper and more structured appearance than single-breasted styles. HolloMen’s collection includes plain, pinstripe and striped double breasted suits in slim and tailored fits, designed for weddings, business occasions and formal events.
For professional dressing, navy, black and grey are reliable choices for meetings, presentations and formal work settings. Brown offers a warmer alternative, while pinstripe and striped styles add stronger visual definition. Plain double breasted suits are generally easier to style and pair well with a wider range of shirts, ties and formal shoes.
For weddings and formal celebrations, lighter shades such as beige, camel, sandstone, sky blue and white can work especially well for daytime and warm-weather events. Darker colours remain a stronger choice when the dress code is more traditional or formal. When choosing a suit, consider the venue, season and level of formality before selecting the colour and pattern.
Fit is especially important with a double breasted jacket because the overlapping front shapes the entire silhouette. A well-fitting jacket should sit cleanly across the shoulders and chest without pulling at the buttons. Slim and tailored fits offer different levels of closeness through the body, so choose the one that best matches your preferred shape.
Styling should remain controlled and balanced. Pair a double breasted suit with a crisp dress shirt and polished dress shoes for formal and business occasions. If the suit is striped or pinstriped, keep the shirt and accessories simpler. Plain suits allow more flexibility with ties, pocket squares and subtle contrast.
What Makes a Double Breasted Suit Different?
A double breasted suit has an overlapping front with two rows of buttons. This construction creates a more structured look, and peak lapels are common across many styles in the HolloMen collection.
When Should Men Wear Double Breasted Suits?
Double breasted suits are well suited to weddings, formal events, business meetings and professional occasions. Darker colours work well for traditional formal dressing, while lighter colours can suit daytime and warm-weather celebrations.
How Should Men Style a Double Breasted Suit?
Start with a dress shirt and formal shoes, then add a tie or pocket square according to the occasion. Keep accessories restrained with striped suits, while plain styles offer more room for contrast.
