WE CAN'T QUIT SMOKING

You might as well face it, you are addicted to Le Smoking. At least it's a healthy habit to have compared to just "smoking." These two Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche tuxedo dresses from the 1980s are great representations of the classic YSL variation of a men's tuxedo.

We begin with a viscose/acetate shawl colored tux dress with a gorgeous fringe hem and coordinating sash/scarf belt. The sleeves slightly bell and it the this reminds us of what one should wear while smoking a Cuban cigar, sipping Remy Martin Black Pearl cognac, and sitting on a large red leather club chair.

Next, we move to a very architectural Le Smoking dress with a very exaggerated sturdy satin collar. The dress has an internal waist band to give you a little shape and three "notice me" black smooth buttons going down the front that also appear on each cuff.

Both dresses are a perfect blend of the masculine and feminine. However, we think once you put one of these on, the last think you will do is blend in!
