Tuxedo Inspired Fashion Trends

Suit up for party season with these surprising riffs on the ultimate evening standard. 


Lauren Ralph Lauren Cotton Blouse
Macy's, $90
Marlene Dietrich would have worn this pleat-front shirt with a top hat and tails. The modern-day equivalent? Wide-leg trousers and pointy pumps.



The Limited Faux-Leather Belt
The Limited, $35
Look to this crystal-studded belt—a little bit ritzy, a little bit rock and roll—to impart black-tie panache to jeans.
 
 

Zara Viscose-Blend Blazer
Zara, $130
 
Talk about a smoking jacket. The geometric details and the fluted shape on this collarless number give it an avant-garde edge and the power to upgrade anything it touches.

Coach Suede Heels
Coach, $198
Well, hello, twinkle toes. Kitten heels adorned with metallic bows instantly sharpen a plain pencil skirt.



Banana Republic Clutch of Lucite and Polyester Satin
Banana Republic, $98
 
No need to read between the lines: Paired with a monochromatic outfit, this striped clutch makes an emphatic statement.


L.K. Bennett Wool-Blend Dress
L.K. Bennett, $825
 
Ivory satin lapels dramatize an otherwise demure black dress.
