The Return of the Double-Breasted Suit: How to Wear It Today
Some styles never really disappear, they just wait for the right moment to return. The double-breasted suit is one of those classics. It used to be a favorite of powerful businessmen and movie stars, and now, it’s finding its way back into today’s wardrobes. With updated cuts, softer shoulders, and made-to-measure fits, it feels fresh again. Let’s be honest, most of us figured this suit was long gone, maybe tucked away in your dad’s old wedding album or in a forgotten 80s movie. But the truth is, it never truly left. And here’s why: it’s stylish, sharp, and full of confidence. Whether you’re heading to the office, a formal event, or a work dinner, it works. You know the kind of look you’re after. Brooks Bingham knows how to get you there.
The double-breasted suit has always stood for confidence and class. Think broad lapels, strong lines, and that bold look from old-school boardrooms to 80s Wall Street energy. Sure, it stepped aside for the simpler, single-breasted styles in recent years. But now it’s back and it’s looking better than ever. Today’s version is more balanced. It has a slimmer waist, less structure, and a clean, modern fit. It feels sleek, not stiff. It blends timeless style with the comfort and flexibility we all want right now, a true example of sleek men's attire.
Why It Works in 2025
Because people are tired of dressing down. After a few years of joggers and stretchy tees (hey, we’ve all been there), men are ready to feel sharp again. The double-breasted suit gives you that little extra lift in confidence, without making you look like you’re trying too hard. It’s a staple of confident office fashion. Have an important meeting? A formal invite? Or just want to stand out at dinner? This suit has your back. It doesn’t shout but it simply shows you have great taste. And that’s the kind of quiet style we love.
How to Wear It Right Now
Here’s the good news: you don’t need to be into fashion to wear this well. The suit is super versatile, it all depends on how you style it.
For Work: Go for a navy or charcoal suit, add a cooling dress shirt, and finish with leather loafers. A simple tie or pocket square can add a little flair if you need it. The jacket makes the statement, keeps the rest clean. This is modern business look done right.
For Smart-Casual Days: Throw on a double-breasted blazer over a neat T-shirt or a floral button up. Pair it with chinos or dark jeans, and add some suede loafers or low-key sneakers. It’s relaxed but still polished, ideal for business casual wear.
For Evenings or Formal Events Darker shades like midnight blue or black are best. Go for sharp lapels and simple lines. Add a crisp white shirt, a bold pocket square, and shiny black shoes. Feeling extra sharp? Try a tie or a lapel pin. It even works for formal attire and evening business events.
The key is to keep things balanced. The suit brings structure, so everything else should feel light and well-fitted. No need to overdo it, let the suit speak for itself.

2025 Groom Style Guide: Trending Men’s Wedding Suit Colors You’ll Want to Wear
This year’s weddings are all about celebrating personal taste, sharp tailoring, and just enough color to make a statement, without outshining the bride (let’s not start drama on the big day). Whether you’re getting ready to exchange vows, stand beside your best friend at the altar, or just want to look incredible while attending, it’s time to upgrade how you think about wedding wear.
The days of cookie-cutter black tuxes and rigid old-school formalwear are in the rearview mirror. 2025 is about custom-made charm, relaxed elegance, and tones that show off your personality without screaming for attention. We’ve rounded up the suit shades defining this stylish year and how to pull them off with confidence.
But first, let’s rewind a little.
Over the decades, what a groom wears has meant more than just following dress codes. From the structured morning coats of the 1800s to the uniform tuxes of the 1950s, each period left its imprint. Today, though, the modern groom doesn’t follow the rules, he reinvents them. He selects colors, shapes, and fabrics that tell his story.
Cream & White Linen – Reigning Kings of Summer Weddings Cream and white linen suits are dominating the summer scene, especially if you’re saying “I do” with your toes in the sand. They’re breathable, laid-back, and make a clear statement: “I’ve got my life together and I look good doing it.”
Level Up Your Look: Pair with light-colored, custom-tailored shirts, blush, powder blue, soft green, to elevate the whole look. If it’s a warm day, go for a slim fit linen suit designed just for you. It’s all about cool comfort without compromising style.
Earth Tones – The Guy Who Gets Nature (and Style)
Picture hues like olive, cocoa, or burnt clay, these colors shine at rustic or outdoor venues. They’re subtle but rich, and they look phenomenal in a well-cut slim fit or perfectly tailored ensemble.
Want next-level polish? Go for a handcrafted suit from Brooks Bingham. Earthy never looked so refined.
Midnight Blue – A Smooth Replacement for Black
Think of it as the tuxedo’s cooler, more photogenic cousin. Midnight blue gives off all the elegance of black but with more depth and personality. Whether custom or off-the-rack, it flatters everyone and transitions beautifully from vows to the afterparty.
Pastels – Bold in the Softest Way
Pastel tones like lavender, coral, or dusty peach might not be traditional, but that’s the point. These hues make you stand out for all the right reasons at springtime ceremonies. Brave enough for a soft tone? Try a pastel three-piece that balances sweetness with swagger.
Keep accessories minimal: white loafers, simple square pocket folds, and breathable cream dress shirts.
Not as stark as black, but more refined than lighter grays, charcoal is the sweet spot between classic and contemporary. Ideal for urban venues and nighttime events, this shade pairs perfectly with a sleek white shirt or a textured velvet jacket.
With a suit cut to fit by Brooks Bingham, you’ll never feel overdressed or underwhelming.
Last-Minute Style Wisdom
Tailoring is everything. Skip the guesswork, go custom. Whether it’s an online made-to-measure order or an in-person fitting, get something that’s shaped just for you.
The right fit makes every color pop. Even a two-piece in a muted shade becomes unforgettable when it hugs you in all the right places.
Accessorize smartly. Let your suit do the talking, and let your shoes and extras quietly support the conversation.
Whatever tone you choose, wear it with certainty. Confidence is the sharpest thing you can put on.
Still searching for that perfect fit?
Check out the custom suit options at Brooks Bingham, and collaborate with a specialist who’ll help craft a wedding look as unforgettable as your vows. One day. One suit. One chance to get it right.
Make it count, with a custom Brooks Bingham suit, made for your moment.

The Evolution of Men’s Suits: Why Custom Fit Is the Future
Let’s be honest, there aren’t many things that level up a man’s style like a well-fitted suit. The kind that hugs in the right places, sharpens your edges, and makes you feel like you’ve got it all together.
But the slick, modern look we admire today? Yeah, it didn’t just show up one day out of nowhere.
Men’s suits have been on a wild ride.
They’ve gone from stiff, buttoned-up uniforms to laid-back linen looks that let you breathe. Over the years, style has shifted, loosened up, and started to reflect how guys live and move.
It hasn’t been a straight path and honestly, that’s what makes it interesting.
The Early Era: When Dressing Up Was Non-Negotiable
In the 19th century, gentlemen sported tailcoats and waistcoats and their outfits were layered, long-lined, and far from cozy.
Back then, formalwear wasn’t about being comfortable or showing your personality, it was all about following the rules.
The Jazz Age: Enter Swagger and Statement
In 1920, came a fresh flair, like pinstripes, pronounced lapels, and the debut of the dapper three-piece suit. Men began using their clothing as a symbol of affluence and identity, with heavier fabrics like tweed and flannel marking the era.
In this way began the modern age of business attire.
Postwar Shift: Clean Lines and Purpose
After World War II, men’s fashion became simpler and serious. The flashy styles were replaced by clean and practical two-piece. In the 1950s, the look was all about being neat and polished, think black and white photos of professionals in sharp, no-fuss outfits.
The Bold Years: Shoulder Pads and Statements
The 1980s and ‘90s were an era defined by oversized blazers, padded shoulders, and loud patterns. Power dressing took over boardrooms and beyond. Checks, stripes, or double-breasted jackets were everywhere ,nothing about the style was subtle.
Let’s be real, if your wardrobe didn’t include at least one statement suit, were you even trying?
The Modern Moment: Tailored, Tech-Forward, Totally You
And going fast forward to 2025, today’s suits strike a balance between timeless style and contemporary ease. And thankfully, there’s no need to settle for generic fits. Whether you're into a custom-tailored tux, a relaxed-fit suit, or a stretch-blend option that lets you move freely, the modern man has options.
Destination wedding on the horizon? A crisp white linen number is your best friend. Big client pitch? Try a sleek charcoal or deep navy two-piece. Even stretch-fabric dress shirts now make looking good feel effortless.
Why Go Custom? Because It’s About More Than Just Fit
It’s not just a made-to-measure suit that fits your body, it tells your story. From personalized dress shirts to custom blazers and sports coats, every detail becomes an extension of your personality. And you know what´s the best part? You can start designing your look online. Whether you're eyeing a sharp casual jacket or a blazer that makes an entrance, it’s all at your fingertips.
Men’s suits have traveled a long way, from aristocratic salons to beachfront vows. Today, style is no longer one-size-fits-all. Whether you’re a fan of heritage tailoring or pushing boundaries, one truth remains.
The right suit is timeless, especially when it’s crafted with you in mind.

How to Pack Smart and Travel in Style with Custom Made Menswear
We all know that packing is never the highlight of any trip. You’re standing in front of your wardrobe trying to predict the future: Will it rain? Should I bring that sports coat? Will I actually wear those extra shoes?
But here's the good news, traveling doesn’t mean compromising your style. If you pack smart, you can travel light and still walk through any airport looking like the guy who owns a custom made tailored suit and knows exactly how to wear it. Let’s break it down.
1. Start with a Game Plan (No Really, It Works)
Skip the last-minute chaos. Don’t pack items, pack outfits. Choose versatile staples that mix and match easily. Stick to a simple palette, think navy, beige, or gray and add a bold accent.
2. Master the Art of Layering
Airports are cold, planes are warm, and your destination might surprise you. Layering solves it all. Pack a linen suit jacket, a business shirt, or a lightweight sports coat that works as both an outer layer and a statement piece.
A bit of history: Back in the 1930s, gentlemen dressed to impress for travel, boarding trains and ocean liners in full three-piece suits. While we’ve thankfully evolved, showing up in a well-fitted tailored suit still earns respect.
3. Shoes: Two Pairs. That’s It.
You only need one pair of stylish walking shoes and one dressier option, like loafers or oxfords. These cover everything from day tours to dinner meetings. Bonus tip: Wear the heavier pair on the plane to save suitcase space.
If you’re packing five pairs of shoes “just in case,” remember, your suitcase isn’t a walk-in closet.
4. Roll Your Clothes, Don’t Fold
Rolling helps save space and reduces wrinkles, perfect for maintaining the structure of your custom suits, slim fit shirts, and business casual wear.
5. The Accessories Make the Outfit
The right details elevate your look. Bring a classic watch, a pair of sunglasses, and a quality belt. Traveling for business? Add a pocket square, or a custom designed blazer, these details take zero space but add major style points.
Final Thoughts
You don’t need a huge suitcase or ten outfits to stay sharp while traveling. Packing smart means choosing better, not more. When you travel lighter, you move easier, and that confidence shows.
So next time you jet off, do it with intention, style, and maybe a tailored slim fit suit that turns heads wherever you land.

Whether you're packing for a business trip, a wedding abroad, or a well-earned vacation, your wardrobe should move with you, not against you. At Brooks Bingham, we craft custom made suits, linen shirts, and tailored pieces designed to fit your journey, literally and figuratively.

Custom vs. Off-the-Rack Suits: Which One Fits You Best?
When it comes to dressing in a suit, nothing matters more than the fit. You could be wrapped in the most luxurious Italian cloth and wearing the richest hue imaginable, but if the jacket slouches at the shoulders or the trousers pool around your shoes, the whole effect is lost.
So here’s the timeless style dilemma: Do you go with something tailored from scratch, or settle for an off-the-rack option?
At Brooks Bingham, we stand by one principle: your suit should adapt to your frame and personality, not the opposite. Let’s see the difference, and why today’s modern gentleman is increasingly turning toward the custom route.
The Off-the-Rack Suit: Quick, Convenient… But Often Compromised
Walk into any major retailer and you’ll come across rows of off-the-rack suits. Manufactured in bulk, these suits follow standard measurements, 40R, 42L, and so on, intended to fit most, but rarely anyone perfectly.
They’re convenient, grab a men's business suit during your lunch break and wear it out the same evening.
They’re often more affordable at first glance.
You’ll get access to a decent range of styles, from slim fit shirts to striped suits.
But here's the downside:
Chances are, you’ll still need to take it in for tailoring.
Your choices are limited to what’s already stitched and hanging on the rack, fabrics, silhouettes, and overall design included.
Precision is hard to come by, especially if you’re chasing a refined, sharp look like a men's slim fit 3 piece suit or a men's slim fit linen suit.
The Brooks Bingham Way: Personalized, Polished, and Truly Yours
Ordering a custom made suit for men from Brooks Bingham goes far beyond just a perfect fit, it’s about shaping a look that mirrors your individual taste and presence.
From the very first consultation, our stylists walk you through every detail, whether it’s choosing the fabric, defining your lapel shape, picking the inner lining, or placing the final stitch. When you leave, you’re not just wearing a suit, you’re wearing your vision, fully realized.
Why do men prefer custom at Brooks Bingham?
Tailored to your form. Forget slouchy shoulders or bunched-up material. This is built for your frame.
Designed to fit your day-to-day. Be it a business suit for men, a custom made tailored suit, or a casual sports coat for men, we craft garments that match your pace and purpose.
Engineered for durability. With our expert craftsmanship, every stitch holds up, and every detail stands the test of time.
Every stitch, every detail, crafted with purpose.
Still Weighing Your Options?
Here’s a simple way to look at it: If your event is casual, last-minute, or not a huge deal, an off-the-rack piece might do the trick.
But if you’re walking into a big moment, say a wedding, a job interview, or a meeting where you need to command respect, go custom. Choose Brooks Bingham.
Because it’s not just about how you look, it’s about how your suit makes you feel.
