The story behind this "swanky" configuration is rooted in a blend of formal wear traditions and modern style evolution:
- Influence of Black Tie: This configuration borrows elements from formal evening wear, particularly the one-button closure and peak lapels often seen in tuxedos.
- Hollywood and High Fashion: Popularized by style icons and celebrities, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s. Think of the sleek suits worn by Sean Connery as James Bond.
- Power Dressing: In the 1980s and beyond, this style became associated with power and sophistication in business and politics.
- Modern Minimalism: The clean lines of a one-button suit appeal to contemporary minimalist aesthetics.
This configuration is considered swanky because it:
- Creates a bold, confident silhouette
- Emphasizes the chest and creates a deep V, which is generally flattering
- Has roots in formal and evening wear, lending it an air of sophistication
- Is less common than the 2-button notch lapel, making it stand out
Do note that while this style is considered more fashion-forward and formal, it's also less versatile than the classic 2-button notch lapel configuration. It's particularly well-suited for formal events, creative professional settings, or for those wanting to make a strong style statement.
