Neato Tuxedo

Can somebody please explain how the tuxedo didn't make it onto style.com's fall 2008 trend report? It would seem that every major runway had some iteration of the classic tuxedo -- from neck-cinching bowties and pleated shirts, to boxy shoulders and shiny lapels. The only catch was that women are rocking the tux this time -- a clear sign that the 'ladies man' is once again a lady.

It's a style that seems to ebb and flow in popularity but hasn't really completely fallen out of favor since Yves Saint Laurent introduced Le Smoking tuxedo in 1966. (I imagine the androgynous gods got together and decreed 2008 the year of mixing masculine and feminine characteristics in fashion. You did see the Prada tutu for men, didn't you?)

Until this post, I was never really into the tuxedo for women, but those Moschino C&C looks are really slick and stylish. They could change my mind.

oh yes!
I am equally in love with the Moschino Cheap & Chic & the Limi Feu
tuxedo's. Very nice!

too bad they wouldn't be so nice for my wallet.

Oooh...missed this one - I guess because I sort of take it for granted. I mean, I started borrowing my Dad's tuxedo in high school and wore the trousers forever! Love it.

I suppose this means that it's okay for me to wear my vintage tailcoat out to the bars on Friday night...or would the Marina girls think it too much? ;-)
