The Basic Lapel Styles:
Tuxedos come in three basic lapel styles: notch, peak and shawl. Choosing one that's right for you is merely a matter of taste.

NOTCH LAPEL

A triangular
indentation is cut
where the lapel
joins the collar.

PEAK LAPEL
A broad V-shaped
lapel that points up
and out just below
the collar line.

SHAWL LAPEL
A smooth, rounded
edge lapel with
a clean line.
Some of our more contemporary and fashion-forward styles go one step further when it comes to lapel design. Hints of a basic lapel are still present in some of these styles, but there's a little twist added making for lots of choices.
To see the many lapel styles available, spend some time browsing our Tuxedo Collection.
