double-breasted suit
Jacket with overlap
A double-breasted suit has a jacket front that overlaps significantly, with two parallel columns of buttons—one functional, one decorative.
The style creates a more formal, structured silhouette than single-breasted suits.
Double-breasted jackets typically have peaked lapels and are traditionally kept buttoned when standing: He wore a navy double-breasted suit to the wedding.
