Jacques Chirac – the angled notch lapel
In his announcement today, you may have noticed Jacques Chirac wearing one of the newest variations for suits: The angled notch. This is a very fashionable variation, at the leading edge through most of the world, though is gradually being more broadly adopted. Peaked lapels on single breasted jackets – with the peaks slightly smaller than what you would you see on a double breasted jacket – are another fashionable look that we’ll expect to see more of in the coming months.
Of course, Chirac, has been wearing such fashionable items for some time – this photo was taken in mid-2006!
