There always seems to be this mystique about
double-breasted blazers. People are constantly wondering if they are still "in style" or if they are an appropriate purchase for the everyday man. My answer is yes and maybe. In terms of whether or not they are in style, double-breasted blazers are a timeless piece of clothing. Gentlemen have been wearing these for years and they have maintained an air of class that will never go out of style. They will just come in and out of the forefront sporadically. As for whether or not they are suitable for the everyday man, that is up to your discretion. Normally, I would say that double-breasted blazers are best for men that are tall and slender (I think Obama should try one out), but nowadays, men are being more adventurous. They are starting to dress like gentlemen again. That said, use your own judgment when filling out a double-breasted suit. If you feel comfortable in it and you look good, wear it with pride. If people look at you funny and you feel like the blazer is wearing you, then you should probably go the single-breasted route. If you do decide to go for the double-breasted, here are some that you can try on for size.
