Hey there!
A couple quick questions as I consider ordering a trad/prep/ivy-styled custom 3-piece wedding tux from Enzo Custom for my upcoming wedding:
1) Best Lapels for big guys?
I've read quite a few articles online, and they seem split between shawl and peak. The peak folks suggest it broadens the shoulders, while the shawl squad thinks it looks slimming.
Me, I look like this, and I'm torn between the two.
2) (Non)matching satin in lapels and bowties.
I can't quite explain why, but a navy tux with black satin lapels just feels... off. I'm aiming for something more like this Ryan Gosling look instead.
The good news: Enzo can substitute a navy satin on the lapels, pants, etc.
The bad news: There's no matching navy bowtie.
So, should I try to find a navy bowtie, knowing it'll never quite match? Or should I go with Enzo's black bowtie instead (which won't match color, but'll at least match luster?)
Again, I'm very torn and open to suggestion -- especially from some of the grandfathers of this forum!
Thanks in advance for any feedback, advice, and even trolling!
