How to Wear a Tux

            Ladies, we always complain about how men have it so easy when getting ready for a formal event and they do, but a tux can be tricky to pull off. The tie has to be pointy, but no too pointy and do not even think about wearing a pant that is an inch too long! Author Guy Trebay says, "A tailor is your best friend" and he lives by that saying. A suit needs to look classic, either in a black or midnight-blue fabric paired with a classic, formal shoe. A tie is not acceptable at the Oscars and neither is a colorful jacket that could cause controversy. Joan Rivers will tear a man apart if their tux is ill-fitted or they are in a black shirt. George Clooney was at the top of Trebay's best dressed list because, "He has, of course, an obvious advantage".
           As a fan of watching the red carpet, I know what a good tux looks like and too often I see a gorgeous superstar in a horrible suit. I enjoyed this article, aimed at men, but also at women who complain that the men have it too easy. The logos was the strongest, with quotes from many men's designers and tailors. Little comments added humor throughout this timely article.
