lapels
Boutonniere pinning spots
Lapels are the folded flaps of fabric on each side of a coat or jacket, extending from the collar down to the chest where the garment buttons.
They come in several styles—notched, peaked, or shawl—and vary in width with fashion trends.
Wide lapels suggest 1970s style; narrow ones read as modern or conservative.
