Tips For Wearing a Double Breasted Blazer

For every clothing item ever designed, there is a reason.

There is a science behind design that can not be argued with.

Now, let's take a look at the double-breasted blazer.

Double-breasted blazers will add bulk to the chest and tummy area (when worn done up), which will not be flattering for a larger bust or Women in general.

They were very first designed to double a man's chest and upper body size.

Traditionally men would never do up the bottom right button so they could sit and move without restriction.

The bottom right one (if not all) must always be left undone.

Double-breasted blazers have overlapping fabric and buttons which create a thicker appearance through the midsection and the lapel points out horizontally, widening the shoulders when worn closed.  

Some double-breasted blazers can appear dated or old-fashioned, especially if they have an oversized lapel.

The longer the double breasted jacket, the more expense has been taken in the tailoring due to the elaborate amount of fabric. 

This makes the long line double breasted gangsta style blazer an iconic piece inspired by what once was, now engineered to flatter, not thicken.
