The velvet tux is a classic, thanks to the legendary Yves Saint Laurent. This season plush velvet suiting provides the perfect backdrop for emerald greens, arresting purples and bold studio 54 blues.
So if you’re looking to Suit Up this party season, we’ve got the perfect eye looks to make your suiting pop.

Brown is most definitely making a comeback, mainly because it looks fuss-free and really flatters everyone.
