Would You Wear… a Tuxedo Jacket?

The tuxedo jacket is a classic menswear-inspired piece that women everywhere have began adopting into their own wardrobes. Although at first glance, they resemble regular blazers, tuxedo jackets tend to have longer arms and shiner lapels. These subtle changes have a huge impact: tuxedo jackets embody sophistication and add class to any look.
Due to their dressy nature, tuxedo jackets are perfect for adding flare to a daytime look (like Miranda Kerr, above) or wearing for a night out (see Olivia Wilde and Kate Moss, also above). There is no right or wrong way to wear this look – it all depends on your style and personality.
Kate Moss is arguably the trendsetting pioneer of the tuxedo jacket look. In fact, if you are considering getting your own tux jacket, be sure to check out the amazing options she created for her final Topshop collection.

I am in love with this new trend, it’s very sassy in my opinion. And the outfit put together is super cute. I kinda wish that there were more provided though, like a more casual look or one with jeans.

I need to get a jacket like this! I have a wedding to go to this January, and I want to wear one of these over my dress instead of a cardigan!

Since it’s a spinoff of a very classic basic, I think the tuxedo jacket will be around for a while. That’s a very good thing! Also, the outfit you put together is great.

Everyone should own atleast one black one. wear to church as a nice top. To night clubs as a jacket to make your dress look class or even to school. or maybe to a job interview.
Linda
Love this…..wish there were more outfits though!
