Tuxedo 101 - 3 Most Popular Lapel Styles
Tuxedos come in various styles. We will outline the different styles in future writings. Today let's start simple with the 3 most basic models.
Notched lapel
This lapel features a triangular indention where the lapel joins the collar. This is considered the least formal lapel style.
Shawl collar
This is a smooth, rounded lapel with no notch.
Peaked lapel
This broad, V-shaped lapel points up and out just below the collar line.
