What do you think is the best looking way to wear the Perfecto style lapel and collar

Hi, I'm talking about the Marlon Brando style jacket he wore in The Wild Ones. The way I see it, there are four ways to wear the lapels and collar:

1. Lapels and collar down.

2. Lapels down, collar up around the neck.

3. Jacket zipped up with the lapels inside under the zipper, collar down.

4. Jacket zipped up with the lapels inside under the zipper, collar up.

Which do you think is the best looking way?

It's not about the way you wear the jacket, it's how you accessorise....

Typically, though, I wear mine with everything down, but not studded down. My current main jacket in that style is an Aero, patterned after those that did not have studs on the collar, only on the lapels. Most often I wear the jacket open. TBH, though, the way it gets worn by me tends to be entirely down to utility - it'll be worn open if it's warmer, and if I get cold, I'll zip it up. No greater thought into it than that.
