Tuxedo - Black tie

Silk lapels have long been an integral part of the traditional black tie dress code. The use of silk for formal wear can be traced back to the 19th century, when it was considered a symbol of wealth and status. The use of silk lapels on tuxedo jackets became popular in the early 20th century and has continued to be a key element of black tie attire to this day.
Silk lapels add a touch of elegance and refinement to the formal attire and are typically made of black silk. They are an important part of the black tie dress code and are worn at formal events, weddings, and other special occasions. The silk lapels help to complete the formal look of the tuxedo and add a touch of sophistication to the overall outfit.
