Question Title What is considered the "most classic" lapel style?
Most Classic vs. Most Popular ...
 
This question is often answered incorrectly by many tuxedo store operators.  When you walk into a tuxedo store, the owners will often tell you that "notch lapels" are the most classic styles.  While notch lapel are the "most popular" styles, they are technically not considered the most classic.
 
"Peak lapels" are technically the most classic formal lapels; they were preferred on the first tuxedos over a century ago.  In spite of this fact, you will still encounter many people telling you that the notch is the most classic style.  No need to fight on this small detail ...
 
Bottom Line:  both the notch lapel and peak lapel will evoke a sense of classic styling in today's market.
