Our take on the Nautica Men's Notch Lapel Dinner Jacket

A burgundy dinner jacket from Nautica with a notch lapel, cut for layering over a shirt and tie. The notch lapel makes it less formal than a peak-lapel tuxedo jacket, so it works for dressy evenings that stop short of black tie. Nautica is known for accessible menswear, and this jacket competes with department-store dinner jackets on versatility rather than tailoring. Expect a comfortable, roomy cut rather than a slim, sharp silhouette.

Questions and answers

Is a notch lapel dinner jacket appropriate for black tie?

Strictly, black tie calls for a peak or shawl lapel. A notch lapel jacket is better suited to semi-formal events, weddings and parties where a tuxedo is optional.

What should I wear with a burgundy dinner jacket?

Pair it with black or dark navy trousers, a white dress shirt and a dark tie. Keep the rest of the outfit simple so the jacket carries the look.

How does this compare with a black tuxedo jacket?

It is less formal and more distinctive. A black peak-lapel tuxedo is the safer choice for strict black tie, while burgundy works for festive or creative dress codes.

Does it work for a wedding guest?

Yes, if the invitation does not specify black tie. It suits evening weddings and receptions; for daytime weddings a suit is usually more appropriate.

Is it a full suit or just the jacket?

It is a dinner jacket, so plan on separate trousers. Matching burgundy trousers are hard to find, so dark neutral trousers are the practical choice.
