Forest Green Cotton Custom Double-Breasted Blazer – Indochino | Grey Sweatshirt – H&M | White Oxford Button Down Collar Shirt – Frank & Oak | Washed 508 Jeans – Levi | “Lyden” Suede Double Monk Strap Shoes – 1901 (available at Nordstrom) | Dean Sunglasses In English Oak – Warby Parker
One thing you should try is rocking your double-breasted blazer as a normal piece of outerwear. With the patch pockets and extra wide lapel, this blazer can serve double-duty because they details are a little more casual that traditional hacking pockets and normal peak or notch lapel.
- Rock the blazer over a layered sweatshirt/sweater look like this one
- Tailoring is key! A well-tailored torso is key to wearing a double-breasted jacket open
- USE YOUR DAMN POCKETS
- If you going with a green blazer, a light washed pair of jeans adds to the casual nature of the look
- Don’t be afraid to mix streetwear style (like this quilted sweatshirt) with such a tailored blazer. It’s shows a bit of confidence and style know-how
- To give the look a dressier element to complement the blazer, add a pair of suede double-monk strap shoes or loafers
- If you’re tired of rocking shoes, add a canvas sneaker in white or blue
