Believe it or not there are a lot of different pieces that go into a full suit, and many of them can be confusing to men. One of those pieces is the single or double-breasted jacket. What’s the difference, and how do men know which one to choose when looking at mens suits Milwaukee?

The single-breasted suit is the style that is the most popular today. This jacket has only one row of buttons and while the jacket can be closed, this is only enough so that the buttons can be fully done up. A double-breasted jacket however, has two different sets of rows and the jacket can be closed so that a full panel can reach across to both sets of buttons to be done up. Both are available in designer menswear, but the one you choose will depend on your own personal preference and your body type.

Double-breasted suits have a lot of detail such as lapels and buttons around the midsection and so when wearing them, this area will be most noticeable. This can be a benefit for men who are very thin as it can add to their figure, making them look fuller. However, it can also be a disadvantage for larger men who won’t feel comfortable in them.

Choosing between single and double-breasted suits can be easy, as it’s largely up to what you like and what looks good on you. But, they are still just one part of the suit.
