The George Clooney classic tuxedo























Ahh... the classic tuxedo, timeless, unpretentious, approachable, its no wonder it's on George Clooney's wardrobe arsenal. And it should be on yours too. In the world of dinner jackets and tuxedos the classics are experiencing a revival.

Check out this classic cut one button jacket. Take special notice of the Shawl Lapels. Few people know the difference between the different kinds of lapels in a suit. You can have the Shawl lapels, the Peaked Lapels, and the Notched Lapels. It really all depends on your own personal preference but also consider how it fits on your build. Narrow chested men tend to go towards the peaked lapels which are wider and more prominent, makes your chest look larger.

Also, when being fitted for a tuxedo, pay special attention to the buttons, go with the single button for the classic look.For a modern look go with a two button. However, try not to go beyond the two buttons, its not an army jacket.>
