How to Make the Most of the Remarkably Versatile Tuxedo Jacket

I have a tuxedo jacket that my sister gave to me awhile ago.  And now I am discovering that there are so many ways to wear it that I didn’t realize.  You can wear it day and evening, to work or business events, on weekends, on dates and all around town!  It dresses up anything, but it can be dressed down too.  This jacket can go from the casual to the fanciest of events.  And now I have style tips and outfit ideas to show you how to make the most of the remarkably versatile tuxedo jacket.

Since it’s a menswear piece, it looks best paired with something feminine.  Even if you are wearing a full tuxedo suit, wear a top that is more bare and girlie such as a satin camisole or lacy tank top.  With a jacket over it, age doesn’t matter.  And since you can wear a tuxedo jacket in place of a jean jacket, this piece is useful in anyone’s wardrobe!

If you already have a velvet blazer, it can be used in place of a tuxedo jacket. Substitute it in any of the outfit combinations below.
