Looking for a way to distinguish yourself as bold and ambitious in a world where it’s become increasingly difficult to stand out? In 2012, there is no better way to make yourself look like a man and stay stylish while you do it than investing in a luxurious, light weight, double-breasted suit. Yes, the classic power suit is back in style and in full force, just as you might expect from anything that’s ever been called a “power suit”.

The once epitome of class represented by the double-breasted suit hasn’t been worn in any popularity since the 1980s. Now almost 40 years later you have the opportunity to use start turning heads with a suit that stands out. You’ll have lots of options doing it, too, since at the end of 2011 many of the world’s top designer brands released their own new editions of this classically styled suit.

Some younger readers may not be completely familiar with what exactly a double-breasted suit looks like… It is basically a suit that has two large overlapping flaps in the front, which can be best worn buttoned for a strong, V-taper fit that looks especially good on a slender gentleman. Go for a six by two button configuration for the most natural looking jacket.

Being a guy, you would probably like to know specifically what suits you should look at, so here are a couple ideas… If you’re looking for something under $1,000 that matches easily and that you can wear for just about any occasion, check out J. Crew’s lightweight 100% wool charcoal double-breasted suit. Looking for something a little more exquisite on the high-end? Have a look at Ermenegildo Zegna Couture’s charcoal pinstriped wool & silk double breasted suit, which looks particularly stunning with a deep violet tie and midnight black leather shoes.

What originally began over 80 years ago as the most water-obsessed group of boaters in South Florida has since developed into the thriving Miami Yacht Club that somehow remains tucked away from Miami’s general knowledge – It’s a hidden gem that offers you a relaxing break from city life. Even if you’re not a member or if you’re still considering membership, you can come enjoy a relaxing meal of fine cuisine in MYC’s publicly-open back restaurant…You’ll just have to spend a little time finding it!

These days the Miami Yacht Club is still heavily focused on boating and bringing the joy of water to the surrounding Miami community, but more than that it is about serenity, enjoyment and relaxation. Despite being one of the most exclusive clubs in Miami, MYC won’t strike your average visitor as being snobby or pretentious, but humble and a laid-back. That being said, to fully enjoy the club you will need to become a full member, which will run you a little over $130 per month plus $1800 up front to initiate your membership. Of course, you must also have your own boat, which isn’t exactly cheap either!

The club’s amenities include recreational cruises with your fellow members, boat storage, a resort style heated pool, beachfront property for a true launch-off-the-sand boating experience and more. Don’t feel intimidated if you’re a visitor – the Miami Yacht Club is happy to offer its services for your private event or party, all you have to do is ask!
