The most popular of the lapels is the notch lapel, which has the notch cut out similar to a suit lapel. This style can be worn to any event although a peak or shawl is usually the attire for Ultra Black Tie formal events. These events typically instruct the guest on the correct form of dress but if you are not sure always ask. The peak lapel style mentioned before has a point coming off the top off the lapel. Peaked derive its heritage from the tailcoat, shawl from the smoking jacket. The shawl lapel produces a softer, old-world image and tends to be used on alternative tuxedo jackets such as the white summer dinner jacket, velvet smoking coat, or more idiosyncratic ones in wool tartan or cotton madras. Men with round faces or less muscular physiques generally look
smarter in the uplifting, sharper-angles, pointed-end peaked
lapel. Both lapels possess the sweep and self-importance that
helps differentiate the black-tie coat from the less formal
suit jacket. |
