Trend Alert: Tuxedo Shirts

FabSugar — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 08:30:22 PDT

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. Not too long ago we had a tuxedo day but this pulled together yet relaxed look is in vogue, from here to eternity. Whether you choose to go white, black, shirt or shirtdress, go day or night paired with a pencil skirt or some sexy black skinnies and a pair of man-eating heels.

amfAR Gala Trendspotting: Tuxedo-Inspired Silhouettes

Marisa Tom — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 08:43:28 PST

A slick tuxedo-inspired silhouette can instantly add structure, sex appeal, and an empowered sense of glamour to any red-carpet ensemble. At last night's amfAR New York gala, we spotted five star-studded examples of the menswear-friendly style. Model Joan Smalls suited up in a lapel-infused floor-length gown, complete with a peplum pop at the waist; singer Janelle Monáe opted for a more traditional tuxedo blazer over a black wide-leg jumpsuit; and model Liya Kebede stunned in a sportier version of the tailored trend by wearing slouchy tuxedo pants with a silky blouse. Whether you take a more literal approach to the trademark tuxedo staples (read: blazers, lapels, pantsuits) or interpret the look with a more feminine twist (think soft dress shirts and peplum details), we think it provides a superchic finish.

Holiday Dressing Tips Culled From Zara's Latest TRF Collection

Chi Diem Chau — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 08:38:13 PST

If your December calendar is filled to the brim with holiday dinners, cocktails, and NYE soirees, we suggest you start planning your outfits before last-minute panic mode kicks in. However, that doesn't mean you have to buy everything new; we're loving the idea of piecing closet staples, like a plaid shirt, with dressier accompaniments for a holiday ensemble that's high on style and function. Thanks to the latest Zara TRF lookbook, we culled some amazing festive styling tips that will surely give you a head start on your holiday dressing season. Read below for three quick and easy styling tips to try out, then click the slideshow to see the latest from Zara's TRF collection.

Dress up your plaid. We love the idea of wearing our cozy plaid shirts with fancy black maxis or tulle skirts for the perfect mix of pretty-meets-punk.
Get shorty. Instead of the per usual holiday dress, mix things up this season and wear Winter-appropriate tweed shorts with a bonny blouse or sweater.
Add masculine elements. We're currently all about the tuxedo jacket. It looks good with practically everything, especially when paired with lace or silky accompaniments.

Rachel Zoe Brings Her Family to Support Nicole Richie's Winter Wonderland

Molly Goodson — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 14:02:00 PST

Nicole Richie played host to a number of celebrity parents and their kids at a Winter Wonderland event with Baby2Baby and Huggies in LA on Saturday. Nicole didn't bring her two little ones, Harlow and Sparrow, to the bash, but Rachel Zoe and Rodger Berman did pose with their son, Skyler. The stylish 7-month-old was in all gray, which made his big blue eyes stand out. Rachel didn't break out Skyler's adorable Gucci tuxedo this time, though it's going to be pretty adorable when he does get black-tie formal. Rebecca Gayheart, who is pregnant with her second baby, joined husband Eric Dane and their first daughter, Billie, while Busy Philipps got crafty with tuxedo-shirt-wearing Birdie. Cash Warren brought Honor to get her face painted while his wife, Jessica Alba, traveled back from Milan with their younger baby, Haven.

Tux Luxe For Less - The Best Menswear Inspired Pieces For Under $200

Chi Diem Chau — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 13:15:26 PDT

There's nothing sexier than a woman dressed up like a man - done right, of course. This season's trend calls on that very notion with designers like Yves Saint Laurent, Phillip Lim, and Michael Kors showing off their renditions on sexy menswear for Fall. In our stylish dreams, we'd be able to afford it all but not so much in real life. Luckily, fashion doesn't discriminate. We found ten tuxedo inspired options, ranging from polished blazers to sleek shorts, all priced under $200. Amazing, yes? Listen up to our three styling tips below before you start shopping:

Temper this masculine trend with statement jewelry and an equally bold red lip.
Black and white combos will always look good but don't forget to mix things up with lighter, ivory hues for a Chanel-inspired look.
Pair a crisp tuxedo shirt with skinny blue jeans and a pair of heels for an effortlessly chic look.

Now flip the slideshow to shop the tux luxe trend for less.

{trend to love} Tux Jackets . . .

OnSugar — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 13:11:40 PDT

We love our tuxedo jackets, and so does OnSugar blogger shut up, i love that shirt on you. Check out her favorite choices for Spring - we especially love her wallet-friendly options from Zara!

There's just something so undeniably sexy about a woman in a tuxedo jacket. Also known as Le Smoking, the tux jacket has the power to add instant cool and the right touch of structure to an array of looks. The Stella McCartney version is the dream, and the Zara pieces are the reality, but what a sweet reality! I am craving a white and black one to wear over dresses and with my boyfriend jeans. I think I keep saying this over and over again about everything from blazers to military jackets, but it's true! A great jacket can change your wardrobe completely, and seriously goes with everything. It's a staple for any girl looking to make her wardrobe vastly more multifunctional. And frankly, I'm looking to develop a wardrobe of jackets within my wardrobe. Putting on a blazer, a tux jacket, or any structured layer will make you feel empowered, polished, cool, and confident. I promise. Just find a fit that works for you (I prefer to elongate my torso with longer, leaner boyfriend cuts) and go forth stylishly into the urban jungle.

Get the Look For Less: Alexa Chung

Lucky — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 09:22:05 PST

We're thrilled to present our favorite Lucky story here on Fab!

The fashion industry is nothing short of obsessed with former model and MTV star Alexa Chung, even going as far as to call her the new Kate Moss. I think it's her effortless style and the way she puts traditionally nerdy pieces, like buttoned-up oxford shirts, with sexy pieces, like short-shorts and high heels for a cute librarian look. And her hair! Whether it's the cut or the color-I can only imagine that hairstylists groan when yet another client pulls out a magazine tear of Ms. Chung. Get her look for much less here.
