What is a "single-breasted suit"?

A single-breasted suit is a classic and versatile type of men's suit that consists of a jacket with a single row of buttons down the front, typically featuring notched lapels and one or two vents in the back. The jacket of a single-breasted suit is designed to fit the body closely and is often cut to accentuate the waist, featuring a tailored and structured silhouette with padded shoulders. Single-breasted suits come in various colors, patterns, and styles, making them suitable for a range of formal or professional occasions, from job interviews and business meetings to weddings and other formal events. They are usually paired with a dress shirt, dress pants, and dress shoes to create a polished and sophisticated look.
