A DOUBLE-BREASTED SUIT WITH A VEST?
I never really understand why it’s so hard to find a double-breasted suit that includes a vest.
In my opinion, three-piece suits do not have to be designed with single-breasted jackets. On the contrary, I actually prefer a vest with a double-breasted suit, mainly because when I’m wearing a DB I’m more likely to take my jacket off.
I don’t wear a vest because it looks good under a jacket. I wear a vest because it looks good when the jacket comes off. A vest hides the mess of your shirt, keeps your belly pulled in (like a male corset…especially if it has a good rear cinch) and ultimately maintains an elegant and sophisticated look when you operate sans-jacket.
A vest can also serve to keep your body warm. Therefore, to me, it makes sense for cold weather suits to have both a vest and a double-breasted jacket.
With that said, here is some 3PDB inspiration for today.
