Tailor up, ladies. Long gone are the days when only men wore tuxedo pants to special events because now women can wear tuxedo pants as well. They had a big year in 2013 and are still worn now into 2014. They’re mostly worn at night and to special events but don’t let that discourage you from looking dapper during the day too because they can be styled to match any time of the day.

Traditionally, tuxedo pants are worn in either an all black everything ensemble or in the classic black and white with feminine touches here and there like frills on the shirt or a high bun to balance out the masculinity of the pants. This would work ideally for evening or night time fun. For a more casual look we recommend trying out a pair of leather tuxedo pants with a chunky neutral colored sweater and some loafers for running errands during the day. We’ve seen this street style look on fashionistas from New York City to Paris so you know it’s street style approved.
