Lexington Avenue Suit | Double Breasted Suit
Lexington Avenue runs the full length of Manhattan's east side, from Harlem through Midtown, past the Chrysler Building, and into Gramercy. It does not slow down, and neither does the woman Lindsay Nicholas designed this suit for.
The Lexington Avenue Suit is a double-breasted suit women wear when the occasion calls for tailoring that carries presence, texture, and a point of view that traditional suiting does not offer.
A double-breasted suit jacket in denim is not something most brands attempt. Lindsay did, because the fabric gives this silhouette something wool cannot: a modern edge that softens with wear while the structure holds. Paired with a tailored pair of trousers in the same denim, it is the suit for women that rewrites the rules of what suiting fabric can be.
The Lexington Avenue Collection
The Lexington Avenue Jacket in Denim is a tailored double-breasted suit blazer with the kind of construction you expect from traditional suiting, built in a fabric you do not. The double-breasted front carries authority, while the denim gives the jacket a texture and weight that reads as modern rather than corporate.
The Lexington Avenue Trouser in Denim completes the suit with a tailored silhouette that matches the jacket in fabric and intent. Together, they form a women's business suits double breast set that moves between professional settings and evening events without looking out of place in either.
Wearing the Lexington Suit Your Way
The full Lexington suit with a Tuxedo Blouse for women in Snow underneath creates a graphic contrast between the denim and the crisp white placket. For a softer register, swap the blouse for a Wellesley Sweater and let the denim carry a more relaxed mood.
Break the suit apart, and each piece finds its own life. The Jacket over a Dresses for women with a flat shoe is a weekend look with structure. The Trouser with a romantic poet blouse and a heel mixes denim with silk in a way that feels intentional. Layer a trench coats for women over the full suit in cooler months, or add a faux fur collar to the lapel for texture.
Why a Double-Breasted Suit in Denim
The double-breasted jacket has always carried a certain weight. The overlapping front, the wider lapel, the sense that the woman wearing it chose something with more intention than a single-button blazer.
Lindsay chose denim as the fabric because it brings that same authority with a different personality. Denim softens with wear rather than losing its shape. It holds structure through the shoulder and lapel while giving the body room to move. And it pairs with pieces across the entire suiting collection and beyond, from silk slit skirts to Bow Blouses for women.
Every piece is constructed in workshops that meet strict ethical compliance standards.
Frequently Asked Questions

A double-breasted suit carries a wider lapel and an overlapping front that creates a more structured, authoritative silhouette. It adds presence and formality beyond what a single-breasted jacket offers.
What body type looks best in a double-breasted suit?
A double-breasted suit jacket works across body types. The wider lapel broadens the shoulder line, and the overlapping front creates a defined waist. The Lexington's denim fabric adds a softer drape that accommodates different frames.
What shoes go best with a double-breasted suit?
A pointed-toe heel sharpens the silhouette for formal settings. A loafer or a flat keeps it grounded for daytime. Ankle boots pair naturally with the denim fabric for a more relaxed weekend look.
