TUXEDO CHIC! 8 STYLISH WAYS TO ROCK YOUR TUXEDO SUIT AND LOOK AWESOME

Ladies are borrowing from the boys and stepping out in suits made from a range of fabric: cobalt silks, cotton and satin- cut in a handful of silhouettes. These suits are always perfectly tailored so the ladies look amazing and, of course, stylish. Knowing how to wear tuxedo will take you to the top of your fashion game this season. It is a look that has been adopted by many celebrities on the red carpet and is a great alternative to the cocktail dress for on-trend evening wear....

PAIR WITH JEANS

Do not go all out formal to red carpet; try an irrelevant take on black tie with a sequined jacket and skinny jeans. It is playful.

CHOOSE WELL TAILORED CUTS

The tuxedo trend is all about embracing tailored looks. In doing this, make sure all your pieces are well fitted. Go for slim cut trousers and fitted blazers to really make this work

ADD COLOUR

A tuxedo can be a bit of a void so, inject some life into your look with some colour. You could go for beauty touches like a colourful lipstick or manicure, or maybe with accessories like a colourful clutch or heels. Adding a shot of colour is a stylish way to make a statement.

WEAR HEELS

Vamp up your basic tuxedo with killer stiletto heels. When it comes to how to wear the tuxedo, a heeled shoe will add a feminine touch and make the tuxedo look much more glamorous.

ADD TOUCHES OF LACE

Bring out your inner femme fatale by teaming your tuxedo with lacy elements. Instead of a plain blouse, wear a lace camisole-lace bodice under your tuxedo jacket. A hint of lace peeking out from your tuxedo jacket looks stylish and seductive.

PLAY WITH TEXTURE

This season, try wearing a tuxedo jacket in an interesting texture. A lush velvet tuxedo jacket can give you a sense of opulence while a sequined number can come across as more playful.

MAKE IT MONOCHROME

Tuxedos look extra sleek when worn in a monochrome colour palette. Black on black is fool proof but if you’re feeling adventurous, a white on white tuxedo can look fresh and stylish.

STICK WITH SEPARATE

If you are not keen on an all out tuxedo look, stick with separate instead. Pair a chic white tuxedo blazer with black trousers or a floaty chiffon dress. Alternatively, team your tuxedo with a pair of trousers, a silky blouse, and layered necklaces for a stylish look.
