Ralph Lauren Fall 2011, Chanel Spring 1997, Neil Barrett Spring 2012

The blending of feminine and masculine fashion never gets old. At the pinnacle of this inspired style lies a special piece that has solidified some of our favorite male celebrities as major fashion plates — the tuxedo jacket. From the way Jay-Z flips the script on the red carpet in a Fred Astaire style get-up, to the sexy sophistication of Daniel Craig in James Bond mode, the elegance of the tuxedo jacket comes off with ease. Perfect for dressing up a pair of jeans or throwing over a short cocktail dress, the tuxedo jacket is even more fun when borrowed from the boys. Pair it with a crisp white shirt, an equally sharp pair of pants and you are ready to go.
