Double-Breasted Blazers Feel Cool and Modern—If You Wear Them Like This

Now ubiquitous in fashion circles, double-breasted blazers can read super formal when buttoned. To render yours cooler, breezier and more modern, let it flop open like a devil-may-care cardigan—and heed these 'build an outfit' tips based on looks from three leading luxury brands. The trick to this dandyish Ralph Lauren Purple Label outfit? A nautical striped tee and chambray shirt. That relaxed pairing helps de-stuff a fairly formal double-breasted suit. Summery espadrilles (no socks) hammer home the breeziness—a lesson in making a white suit approachable. We reckon Tom Wolfe would approve.
