If you’re an enthusiasts of all that is style in your office, you’ll notice that oddly enough not all suits are the same. There are many things that make up the suit, one of the main eye drawers being the lapel. I’ll discuss how you can identify which lapel is which, when its appropriate to wear them and how the width will come to be greatest ally.
The Notch Lapel
Commonly known as the staple of lapels as you can rock this style from the wedding to the boardroom. Easily identifiable as this is the basic lapel that comes on most suits you buy at your local off-the rack suit supplier.
The easiest factor about this style is that it suits Everyone.As it has such a simple design it allows you to have the flexibility to show off other parts of your suit. Is a pocket square or tie necessary? absolutely not, but I promise it will bring some flair to your outfit.
If you do have a need for a bit of a flashier statement, I would recommend looking it pick stitching. As you can see pick stitching allows the lapel to stand out more, making you the talk of the town.
With or without pick stitching if you’re looking for the staple that won’t go out of style or off trend. The notch lapel is a good start to your wardrobe.
