Kim Jones, artistic director of Dior Men, has long placed the art of tailoring at the heart of his vision for menswear – and his latest showcase was no exception. Drawing inspiration from the work of Yves Saint Laurent, Gianfranco Ferré and Marc Bohan – three designers who preceded him – Jones debuted a collection brimming with shape, colour and exquisite pattern cutting. Among the timeless staples on display: long, high-collared suits in flecked tweeds and satin-trimmed wools cut to elegant double-breasted silhouettes.

For his debut menswear collection for Louis Vuitton, Pharrell Williams proposed his own take on the double-breasted suit, spotlighting the fine workmanship of the French maison’s ateliers. Slouchy yet polished, double-breasted tailoring was crafted in dark, moody hues, styled with wide lapels and delicate, chain-link brooches set with precious gemstones.

Meanwhile, at Alexander McQueen, known for its dramatic takes on traditional tailoring, double-breasted suits were adorned with puffed or rounded shoulders, detailed collars, and abstract jacquards and embroidery crafted in partnership with Simon Ungless.

Double-breasted looks also dominated the red carpet at this year’s SAG Awards, with Andrew Garfield, Rami Malek, Austin Butler, The White Lotus’ Adam DiMarco, and The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White all donning statement styles. At the Oscars, it was Paul Mescal, Dwayne Johnson and Butler once again who were the main proponents of double-breasted suiting.
