Creative Black Tie. Satin lapel or matching lapel on tuxedo?
Have a wedding coming up that calls for “Creative Black Tie” and I want to wear something formal but still be a little peacockish to fit the vibe.
I’ve been seeing a few jackets that look like a tuxedo (shawl/peaked collar, single button) but are not with the traditional satin lapel.
Example: https://theblacktux.com/collection/tuxedos/green-velvet-jacket-tuxedo/buy
Is that still considered a tuxedo? Would I be better off going for something slightly more traditional like this?
Example: https://suitsupply.com/en-us/men/jackets/burgundy-lazio-dinner-jacket/C6501.html
Any advice on other styles/inspo that could fit the creative black tie look?
Thanks for the help!
