Are notch lapel double breasted suits coming into style? I've been seeing them more and more often and in ads from Emporio Armani lately. I ask because I have an old English bespoke one I thrifted some months ago and haven't yet worn it due to fearing it would look absurd and horribly outdated.
Thanks
Notch lapel double breasted suits are never a good idea. In style or out of style, they look lacking unless the button stance is high enough to make peak lapels not an option. In which case they also look ridiculous if the button stance is too wide. If your old English bespoke one has an extra high closure, it's possible that you might be able to wear it, but the chances of it looking good are very slim. Notch lapel double breasted with low, wide button stance is one of the signature bad ideas from the 1980s. Whether it's wearable or not, notch lapel double breasted is not a good idea for serious meetings.
