When it comes to a man’s style of suit, fit is everything. A boxy versus a well-fitted shoulder could determine whether you look on-trend or Al Capone. The trouser? Too baggy and you’re going to remind girls of a 1920s pageboy. A slim, close fit to the leg is the perfect way to show off your best assets.

This season, designers are showing double breasted as the go-to moda of suit jacket. It’s not the best style on all men, so make your choices carefully. Below are three examples of how to make double breasted suits work. But never underestimate the sophistication of a 3-piece number or a slim pin-stripe. Make it work and walk tall. All eyes will be on you.
