That is a lovely jacket. But am trying to stop myself buying anything that is dry clean only.

Tux jackets look good with jeans. But this one looks a bit "cheap". Tux jackets need to look expensive imho

bodycolder · 08/10/2009 16:56

Have you seen this irl?def for the older fashionista lush

stuffitllllama · 08/10/2009 17:00

that one is most excellent but never to be worn to a smart event

the first one has a funny shape I think you would need long legs and a short body

bodycolder · 08/10/2009 17:10

You could wear it to a smart event!maybe my smart isn't very

Heathcliffscathy · 08/10/2009 17:13

you see i don't like that it is waisted. get a proper boyfriendy tux imo.

if you're going to go all zippy waspish waist, really go for it...this falls between two stools for me.

and if you understood any of that you're a better woman that i am!

Tortington · 08/10/2009 17:15

im with sophable. its not at all fitted and i would go so far as to say therefore a bag of shite

NyeEve · 08/10/2009 17:16

hmm
i have no waist anyway.
all the boyrfirend ones atm are v loose arent they

bodycolder · 08/10/2009 17:40

Oh I think it does look quite fitted which is the prob really a trad tux isn't and the masculine shape can look v stylish on a woman.

herjazz · 08/10/2009 17:48

Nah not keen

Agree it looks a bit cheap and shapeless

I would want my tux to look like something out of caberet

CybilLiberty · 08/10/2009 18:04

I think tis a bit dull

LetThemEatCake · 08/10/2009 18:09

I have something v.similar. Zara circa 2004. Brilliant thing to have in wardrobe, can be worn loads
