It seems like white tuxes really had a moment in the 1970s. I don't know if I could pull one off, but I totally want one! Would you wear one?
Comments
I had to comment because I know one woman who absolutely pulled off the white tux, my mama, on her wedding day! Granted, this was in 1983 and she is one stylin' Italian lady. She rocked a white tux, except instead of slacks it was a pencil skirt. Cumberbund included. I can only wonder if I could both pull it off AND look like a super babe! I have it in my closet and it is incredible. For the longest time as a child I thought that was typical female wedding wear. :)
Needless to say, my mama is definitely one reason I embody tomboy style today.
I think it's really chic when you wear tuxes but still showing your feminity too (make up, heels, nice hair).
