Men's Shawl Lapel Navy Tuxedo Jacket

Coordinating is essential when you're dressing up. If an all-blue suit is too loud or you want to showcase your style in a new light, forego navy blue tuxedo pants and combine your navy tuxedo jacket with simple black suit pants or black tuxedo pants instead.

Black is a neutral color that pairs well with a swathe of colors. Wearing the jacket from a navy blue tuxedo with black pants allows you to make a stylish statement that sets you apart from the crowd. Because the men's navy tuxedo jacket has black lapels, you get an extremely coordinated look.

A black peak lapel tuxedo may be the most common attire for black-tie events, but you can absolutely wear a navy blue tuxedo jacket to black-tie events as well. Navy blue and black are both acceptable colors for black-tie wedding attire.

Adhering to the dress code helps you fit in at formal events, but you can still stand out by applying your unique style to your suiting look. Experiment with tuxedo accessories like a distinctive bow tie, elegant cufflinks, or a pocket square that reflects your personal taste. Overall, before attending a wedding or formal event, it's always wise to confirm the dress code.

A shawl lapel on a navy tuxedo jacket has no peaks or notches; instead, it forms a continuous round shape from the neck through the chest. Due to their unique style and sophistication, shawl lapels are typically reserved for especially formal events. With their streamlined appearance, shawl lapels help emphasize the shoulders and offer a more sophisticated look compared to other lapel types, such as peak or notch lapels.

A well-fitting navy tuxedo jacket should fit somewhat snugly around your shoulders, highlighting their shape. The sleeves of your tuxedo jacket should reach around the top of your wrist bone. It should also have a comfortable waistline that's not too tight or loose, ensuring a sleek and flattering silhouette. When buttoned, your tuxedo jacket shouldn't pull and create wrinkles or form gaps from excess room.
