Double-breasted suits are making a comeback thanks to Seth Rogen and A$AP Rocky
STORYBloomberg

Hollywood’s leading men are reclaiming the jacket once seen as stuffy – and giving it a fresh, surprisingly easy-to-wear twist
Matt Remick, Seth Rogen’s character on the Emmy juggernaut The Studio, may be the harried, in-over-his-head new overlord of the fictional Continental Studios, but his wardrobe epitomises LA backlot cool. Forever trying his very best to appear like he knows what he’s doing, Remick wears a steady stream of well-cut suits in groovy near-neutrals (mustard, burnt umber, cream). Remick may not be able to bring back artful cinema to Hollywood, but he nails the “powerful creative” look in no small part thanks to a fleet of double-breasted jackets, worn casually open. Rogen himself even wore a double-breasted velvet tux (in rust, not black) earlier this month to accept his first Emmy award for lead actor in a comedy series.
It’s back, baby: the double-breasted suit jacket is making inroads into fashion circles of late, shaking off its dusty country club reputation in favour of a vibe that’s younger, fresher and, dare we say it, cool. It’s also surprisingly easy to wear.
“I always find double-breasted is the most flattering on most men’s figures,” said Chaise Dennis, a stylist whose client, the actor Tramell Tillman, glided down the red carpet at Cannes this spring to promote the latest Mission: Impossible film wearing a creamy double-breasted suit from Dolce & Gabbana, jacket insouciantly open.
