According to the London, Paris and New York Fashion Weeks it seems like one trend for Spring / Summer 2014 will be the double breasted jacket.
With their overlapping front flaps and parallel column buttons made them popular between 1930s-50’s then between 1980’s-1990’s. In 2014 they are making a resurgence. This time combinations of neon trainers, floral print shorts and man bags are building up the style arsenal for the modern fashion conscious man.
You may be thinking that for summer that is not the most practical. In the blazing sunshine it may not be, but for evening wear or for events and parties it is suggested they are the way forward.
The versatility with the double breasted is a worthwhile addition to a wardrobe. Its smart-causal look combine with subtle accessories can elevate a look to a grand level. When choosing the jacket be conscious that 4 button jackets are more suitable for smart-casual and 6 button jackets will be more appropriate for wearing with a complete suit.
