Lapel Suits

Men's suits have three types of lapels: notch (common), peak (formal with upward points), and shawl (smooth and round).

Choose peak lapels for formal events and broad shoulders, notch lapels for everyday wear and most body types, and consider personal style when selecting.

Yes, lapel styles can be mixed and matched with different suit designs to create a unique look. For example, pairing a peak lapel with a slim-fit suit can modernize a classic style.

On a well-fitted suit, the lapel should lay flat against the chest without any gaps or wrinkles, with the collar sitting snugly against the neck.

Lapel width should match shoulder width. Place the boutonniere slightly below the buttonhole on the left lapel.
