The New Holiday Party Look: The Tuxedo Trend

In Style Advice by Jessica Faith Marshall

The holidays are a chaotic season of the year with gift shopping, parties, and visiting with family and friends. Sometimes your schedule does not allow as little as thirty minutes to touch up before the next holiday celebration on your calendar, after shopping for gifts all day. If you are looking for a day-to-night transitional look that is still sleek and glamorous for the holidays, opt for the glamorous tuxedo trend.

As the fashion industry modernizes, the designers have been designing for the new growing market of a higher demand for pants, jumpsuits, and suits for women. It represents a modern independent attitude that the modern women embodies as society changes. The tuxedo trend emulates very sleek clean lines that you can wear during the daytime into the nighttime. 

Variations of the Holiday-Party Tuxedo Look

  1. Keep it Glamorous; During the Holidays, there is a high demand for sequins. Opt for a sequin blazer or a sequin jumpsuit with a lapel to pair with simple pieces to complete the three-piece look.
  2. Edgy and Sleek; If your personal style emulates minimalist and sleek style, opt for leather insets, contrasting lapels, and clean lines with touches of glamour in the details. Keep the colors tonal and neutral for the modern approach.
  3. Three-in-One; Instead of a three piece suit, slip on a tuxedo-inspired jumpsuit in crepe, silk, or charmeuse. Try variations with belts, lapels, structured shoulder pads, and tapered bottoms for a personalized sleek approach to the menswear-inspired jumpsuit. Pair with statement heels, chunky gold ring, and a necklace for the Rachel Zoe-meets-Yves Saint Laurent party look.
  4. The Classic Approach; For the go-to-classic suit look, pair a black suit jacket with a personalized detail, such as a draped lapel, over a minimalist blouse and structured pants. Tuck the pants into wide ankle heeled boots in a statement texture and style with gold chunky jewelry for the complete look.
  5. Personalize the Trend; I personally love trends the most when women wear them with their own individual touches. Accessories such as belts, shoes, statement necklaces, fur vests, and statement lip stick hues are the best ways to pull off a trend while maintaining your personal style.
