Trend Update: Fall 2011 - Tuxedo Dressing
Michelle Lynch, Style Director
Picture yourself looking party perfect in a tuxedo that’s made just for you.
No, I’m not talking about the price tag that comes with custom tailoring but the fabulous lady like styles of this seasons hot tuxedo trend.
What I love most about this trend is the versatility of the tuxedo. No really think about it like this: Let’s say you find a tuxedo you love. It comes with a jacket, a vest, pants and shirt, and you create lots of looks for day or night from these 4 easy pieces.
· Pair the jacket and shirt over dark denim skinny jeans
· Wear the shirt and vest with wide leg trousers and a belt
· Try the jacket or vest alone over your favorite long skirt and fitted sweater
Would I kid you? This trend has so many possibilities!
And, don’t feel intimidated when shopping for this look - you don’t have to buy the whole outfit. A shawl collar or fitted black tuxedo jacket may be exactly the right thing to take this from the runway right into your closet!
