The Semi-Formal Tuxedo Shirt

Anonymous asked: how can you rock a tuxedo shirt?? semi formal events included.

A.D. says: Nothing gets me more excited than the ruffles on a tuxedo shirt. (They take me back to high school orchestra. Anyone, anyone? OK, moving right along…) We all know that anyone can rock a tuxedo shirt in a tuxedo, but can you rock one without shiny shoes and a cumber bun? 

Like most of my answers on this blog, you can do anything! But here’s the trick: wearing a tuxedo shirt without a tuxedo is bucking tradition, so go ‘head, and wear those sneakers, roll up the sleeves, and don’t wash your hair.

Here are three ideas for rocking a tuxedo shirt:
