How to Wear a Double-Breasted Suit

If you want a double-breasted suit to look modern—and not like something from a gangster flick—keep it short and trim. And avoid Dick Tracy-grade shoulder pads, too.


Keep the jacket buttoned (including the interior button). It doesn't hang well when undone. 


And unlike with single-breasted suits, unless you want to look like a singer in the '80s R&B band, go for a higher-cut six-button suit instead of a low-slung four-button model.
