Men's Peak Lapel Navy Tuxedo Jacket

White dress shirts are a tried-and-true classic that offers a neutral look that pairs well with the jacket of a navy peak lapel tuxedo. Wearing a white shirt underneath a darker jacket creates a bold contrast that gives you a clean, polished look. For a less traditional look, try a light blue dress shirt under your navy tuxedo jacket. Blue suits and tuxedos are beloved because they're so versatile, so there's no strict rule regarding dress shirt color unless you're attending a black-tie event, where white is an appropriate option. You can even wear dress shirts that are nearly the same color as your jacket to create a monochromatic look.

A peak lapel navy tuxedo jacket has a lapel that has a V-shape near the collar. Conversely, a navy blue shawl lapel tuxedo has a more rounded lapel shape, while notch lapel tuxedos feature a triangle cutout where two lapels meet at the collar. A navy or black peak lapel tuxedo adds interest to the tuxedo look and is a great option for black-tie, formal, and semi-formal events, including cocktail and dinner parties.

Ideally, your tuxedo should fit well without being too tight. Your tuxedo jacket should be somewhat snug in the shoulders, with the seam aligning with where your arm and shoulder meet. The sleeves on your tuxedo should rest at the top of your wrist, with room for about a half inch of your dress shirt to peek through, when your arms are down at your sides. When buttoning your tuxedo jacket, make sure it doesn't pull and create wrinkles or form a gap from excess room.

There are several small details to consider when styling a tuxedo. In most cases, bowties are the preferred neckpiece, particularly for black-tie events, as neckties are more suitable for events that are slightly less formal. You can also tie your outfit together with various tuxedo accessories: silver cufflinks add an upscale accent to your tuxedo; for a splash of color, a brightly colored pocket square is a nice touch that can help you showcase your personality; and you can also match your dress shoes to your suspenders to create a cohesive look. With formal wear, small details make a big difference.
