Look of the Day: Luxe in a Tux
I love it when a gal perfects the balance between yin and yang. I'm impressed that SimplicityDal has done just that. Check her out looking luxe in a tux .
Celebrity Style: Sarah Jessica Parker
Speculation about the Sex and the City movie sequel is getting slightly out of hand. Will it be set in London? Will Carrie have a baby?
Love it or Hate it: Katy Perry's White Tuxedo
Katy Perry attended the 2009 NRJ Music Awards in Cannes on Saturday night in this white satin tuxedo. The style sees Katy moving away from her usual cartoon burlesque look for something more elegant. Unfortunately Katy was left embarrassed at the awards as she was presented with a gong that should have gone to Rihanna.
Style Glossary: Tuxedo Jacket
The tuxedo jacket is an important piece this season and Nina Garcia recently declared it as a wardrobe staple. The tuxedo jacket is officially known as a dinner jacket in the UK and was originally created by Henry Poole on Saville Row as a shorter version of the smoking jacket.
A tuxedo jacket is defined as, "A kind of black jacket for semiformal evening dress made without tails, usually of black or dark blue color and having satin or grosgrain facing on the lapels; so named after a fashionable country club at Tuxedo Park, New York."
Inspired: Femme Meets Menswear
PopSugarUK recently took a look at Sienna Miller and Keira Knightley on the red carpet at The Edge of Love world premiere in Edinburgh. While I'm certainly looking forward to seeing the film, what really interested me was the gals' attire. FabSugar picked up on how long and lean they looked, but I personally have been wooed by how dapper they looked in their menswear-inspired getups.
Trend Alert: Long & Lean
No doubt Keira Knightley is long & lean. And, while Sienna Miller isn't a big girl by any standards, she isn't tall. But slip on a long black maxi dress and the illusion is created.
Product of the Day: Bacon-Scented Bacon Print Tuxedo
I'm not sure bacon ever went out of style, but if it did, it's making a killer comeback. From the bacon bra to the bacon scarf to the bacon-scented bacon print tuxedo pictured here, what more could anyone possibly need to clean grease up for a night out on the town? A wallet full of crocheted pocket bacon wouldn't hurt.
Definition: Shantung
Shantung
Plain weave fabric with nubby, irregular filling yarn for texture effect. A similar fabric of rayon, acetate, cotton, etc.
Get the tuxedo look with this Yves Saint Laurent Shantung Jacket ($2,570).
Trend Alert: Tuxedo Shirts
If you don't know which way to go down the menswear brick road this Fall, the easiest place to start is tuxedo shirts. Ellen Pompeo looked fresh and chic in a Yves Saint Laurent shirt blowing in the wind this Summer. Fortunately, a crisp white shirt is a year 'round item.
Trend Alert: Tuxedo Days
There are Tuesdays and there are Tuxedo Days. What the hell am I talking about you wonder? As the boys' closets continue to inspire the girls' closets, the ladies are happy to take the creme de la creme of the penguin attire.
