At first glance, tuxedos can all look quite similar to one another, so we often find that people are surprised by how many different options there actually are. Here’s a guide on a few different ways you can style your tuxedo:
Notch Lapel

A tuxedo with a notch lapel will have two small slits in its fabric, one along each side of the wearer’s neck. The notch lapel is a classic, having been the go-to style for over a century, and looks best paired with a bow tie.
Shawl Lapel

|
A shawl lapel will wrap around the wearer’s neck in one swift motion, with no fabric slits or any other extra decorum. This look is sleek, unique, and popularized in its James Bond-like appeal.
Framed Lapel

For a slightly more laidback look, a framed lapel blends the elegance of a tux with the casualness of a suit by featuring satin only on its outer edges, rather than throughout the entire label. This style is perfect for upscale outdoor ceremonies.
