There are 3 types of jacket lapel. The most commonly seen is the notch lapel, you also have a peak lapel where there is a point on it, thats origin is from formal wear from a dinner suit or a morning suit and it often has a peak to it. It’s really much back in vogue now, we’re seeing a total disregard now, with people just not bothered about having skinny lapels now and going back to the wider lapels so the Tom Ford’s and most of Savile Row are going back to wider things and a peak allows you to get more visual impact and allows you to look broader chested and more impact in the shoulder line. The third type of lapel you don’t normally see on a casual jacket and you only ever see on a dinner suit is a shawl lapel and it has no notch, no peak and it looks like a perfect link from button hole through to the button.
