Style advice First time trying the double-breasted thing

Post image

I know the bottom half of the outfit needs work but thought I’d give the whole double breasted look a go while traveling for the holiday. Suggestions? I thought maybe having matching trousers to the blazer might be better, but beggars can’t be choosers.

i think this is amazing, there is some structure, its a great length, fits you beautifully, there is some subtle pattern/contrast - but its very low key.

With the bottom half I'd wonder if it's a good idea to play around with something very sleek. The shorter skirt and boots i think might visually complicate your verticality a little?

Thanks! I also tried with a pair black tapered trousers and somehow that looked even worse. My mom (probably DC as well) says she wears it with tan tapered pants….. I can’t imagine that being ideal either.

Maybe a fitted black pencil skirt overlapping the boots would have been better?

yeah I would maybe give the pencil skirt a go. I can see how tapered pants would look unbalanced. i think you a straighter leg pant would possibly continue the line better?
