What is a "lapel"?
A lapel is a folded flap of fabric on the front of a garment that extends from the collar to the chest. It is typically found on blazers, suit jackets, and overcoats, and serves both a functional and aesthetic purpose. Lapels can be either notched, peaked, or shawl, with each style lending a distinct look to the jacket. The lapel is an important aspect of a jacket's design as it can help frame the wearer's face and add visual interest to the outfit. Additionally, lapels may feature a buttonhole, which can be used to attach a boutonniere or flower, adding a touch of color or personality to the jacket.
Examples
1. Super conservative, one button, notched lapel.
2. So many guys were wearing lapel pin.
3. Notice the lapels.
4. Notch lapel.
