The Double-Breasted Jacket Is Back

When it comes to men's jackets, the double-breasted style has been in and out of fashion a lot. Once the favorite of '80s Wall Street bankers, the six-button jacket took a backseat to narrow, single-breasted styles for a while but has since been picked up by creative types with serious swagger—dudes like recent Emmy-winners Aziz Ansari and Donald Glover. Which makes sense, because there's something about a double-breasted jacket that says "I'm living large."

A Note on Buttons

You can leave the jacket open and wear it slouchy or button up the top two buttons. But just like with any jacket, you want to leave the bottom button undone.
