Suit up in androgynous tuxedo jackets
Le Smoking, the ultimate tuxedo suit created by Yves Saint Laurent in 1996, was the first of its kind, catching the attention of the fashion world due to its rebellious masculine silhouette. Giving a sense of empowerment to women who dared to break away from dresses and skirts, the ultimate power suit has since been a major staple in women’s fashion and continues to influence designers each season. Remaining one of Saint Laurent’s iconic designs, Hedi Slimane brought back Le Smoking this year, in various blazer and tailored pant options. To get the modern look today, be inspired by some of the biggest stylesetters and shop our favorite smoking jackets below.
