A black suit with your usual dress shirt and bowtie is the standard. It's safe and expected. But white... now that's the business. Walk into a party and all eyes are on you. It's a clean, crisp look that pops without being too loud and works for any ocassion. I know this look is normally reserved for wealthy gentlemen going to formal affairs in the summer. Who says you can't wear a white dinner jacket all year round. Especially with all the holiday parties coming up, I say do it!
The Look
White Jacket - H & M
Bow Tie: Thrifted
Slacks : H & M
Glasses: Urban Outfitters
The white tux works on both guys and dolls. It's so sleek and sexy. Some so-called experts say you should never wear ivory or white in cooler weather, but I say who cares. If you're going to sport something like this "out of season" pair it with black pants and darker accessories in general. Having any trouble figuring out if you can wear this? Think James Bond in Goldfinger, Bogart in Casablanca, or Sinatra in anything. Got it? Just avoid drinking red wine or eating something with marinara while you're wearing this. Your dry cleaning bill will be ridiculous.
