We all are familiar with the iconic Yves St Laurent ‘le smoking’ tuxedo jacket created in the 70s and the classically mannish design has now returned in all its glory as a tribute to the 90s era. While the late designer’s label had models with bowl inspired haircuts take to the stage, designers like Richard Chai paired his with a sparkly vest and white blouse underneath, Roberto Cavalli had a detailed, ruffled blouse and cream booties with his jacket, and Salvatore Ferragamo opted for laidback chic with rolled up cuff sleeves and a belt. There was no forgetting the provocatively ruffled sheer blouse with a bib from Viktor & Rolf’s collection, perfect under a stern, structured jacket. Whether you choose to wear your tux jacket either masculine with a crisp button down shirt or utterly graceful with a frilly blouse and skirt, there’s no stopping the resurgence of the jacket so modernize it and embrace it wholeheartedly!
