Personal Style | Tuxedo Jackets, Of an Unfinished Variety
Concept: “Unfinished Finishings”
Explained: While it’s getting dangerous in the street style streets due to the over-trying leading to overboard, can’t-wait-to-be-scene looks, there is still room for genuine personal style. I’ve had this tuxedo jacket hanging on my clothing rack for quite some time. I always planned on getting it altered so I’d have something for formal use. A week or two ago, I needed something somewhat light, and didn’t feel like rocking a denim jacket again. As I headed to the door for work, I just tossed this on. I will admit, I’m not perfect and I’m not always confident. My mind wrangled with worries of other people thinking I was poor (which I am) or I don’t know, other things. The thoughts were just jitters about my first time rocking a formal jacket unfinished and in a non-formal setting. I love this look now, and I’ll probably pull it out here and there when it gets chilly again.
One last comment, I love the single-pleating that Johan went for on this trouser. It’s a nice touch. And I’m always happy to have the slight drop in the crotch, it just feels more comfortable and I think less about the fit of the pant. It’s more organic, there’s no tugging or that feeling of something not being perfectly fitted.
