Navy Double-Breasted Suit, Peak Lapel Six-Button

Six buttons down the front and a peak lapel above them. This is a double-breasted suit in navy, built well enough in the shoulder that it holds a strong line without tipping into costume.

The closure is a six-button double-breasted front, and the peak lapels give the chest its shape. Pockets are flap at the hip with a breast pocket above, and the buttons are tonal so nothing on the front competes for attention. The cut is slim, tailored through the chest, and the matching flat-front trousers carry a clean line down to the shoe.

Double-breasted has a reputation for being formal, and this one earns it at an event while still working as sharp everyday wear. Navy is the version that goes furthest, though the same cut comes in ivory, sage green and black if you want it louder or quieter. Keep the shirt plain and let the front do the talking.
