Sky Blue Shawl Lapel Tuxedo

About this tuxedo

The jacket is a bright sky blue in a cloth with a slight sheen that shifts with the angle, sometimes clear blue and sometimes leaning silver grey. The special detail is the large, rounded shawl lapel, cut from a glossier cloth than the body, wrapping the whole neckline and falling to a single button. The two hip pockets are besom and lie flat, and a small purple patterned pocket square rises as an accent. Underneath are a white shirt with a white bow tie, and light beige satin trousers, so the whole look is light and youthful.

Mon Amie offers this suit for daytime weddings, outdoor parties and beach weddings, where a black tuxedo can easily feel heavy. Keep to a plain white shirt, a white or pale blue bow tie, and mid-brown or cream shoes with a slim belt in the same tone as the shoes. A pocket square in a purple or blue pattern will tie the colours together very neatly.

Light colours are always more demanding than dark ones because every crease shows, so Mon Amie carefully measures your chest, waist, shoulder slope and the shape of your back before cutting. At the showroom you choose the base cloth and the sheen of the facing on the shawl lapel, then come for a fitting so our tailor can adjust the fit, the jacket length and the trouser leg to balance with your height.
