Making incursions into men's domain by their female counterparts does not raise eyebrows anymore. Women have started generating interest in men's wears and donning them too. You will find more women rummaging through men's items, not for their men but for themselves! Nobody is complaining here, but the concepts are changing and preferences are being revamped. If you asked me, I would prefer women to look feminine and men to look like men. In simple words, go back to conventions.
The tuxedo is by excellence a male piece, being worn in the past at official ceremonies, galas, balls etc.. The tuxedo is a jacket (usually black), short and with the lapel dressed in brown, and sometimes with two pockets with fancy edges, with one button done up.
If you are a keen follower of old movies, you would not have forgotten Marlene Dietrich in 'Morocco', made in 1928, the hero complete with tuxedo, white shirt and tie, something that has floored both the sexes.
In the'60 (specifically in 1966) Yves Saint Laurent reinvents the way in which a woman has to dress introducing the tuxedo in they're wardrobe.
Tuxedo has made a smart comeback this year, in more ways than one, with varied designs being introduced by designers for presenters on the podium or even red carpet stars like Diane Keaton, Madonna, Kate Moss, Jessica Simpson and Ashley Olsen being seen in them. These stars using tuxedo, is not a shot in the dark, but it appears a revival of interest.
Variations of the female tuxedos do not stop at only stylistic re-interpretations but go further, approaching new materials and textures. Very elegant evening wear has become the velvet tuxedo(red, blue, etc.) with a backhand in contrasting shade.
Designers are endeavoring to get the tuxedo into general use by those trudging the streets, although so far it has made its foray in the night or cocktail party circuit only.
There is no rule which says that tuxedos go with pants only. With experimentation in fabrics and designs occupying the center stage, they are preferred any time of the day. To impress the wearer, an array of accessories is a must that compliment the outfit, in order to win the approval of the onlooker as well as the wearer. Stay with the changing times and stay trendy. - 15343
