Fashion: Yes YOU Can...
…update your evening jacket. Fashion director Shelly Vella shows you how
Whether you prefer to wear jeans rather than an LBD or a slinky column dress instead of tailored trousers, this season you can dress them all up with the perfect ‘luxe tux’. While the classic black style is always on trend, there are plenty of sumptuous alternatives on offer in rich, jewel-toned velvet, heavy metal brocade or bright satin. There are also an array of my favourite, deliciously decadent sequin tuxes in black, white and gold.
