Holiday dressing is meant to be joyful and festive, but if I’m being honest, I’ve often found it slightly overwhelming—and borderline offensive to my credit card—year after year. One too many sequined “only-for-December” purchases later, I finally accepted the truth: novelty outfits are cute in theory, stressful in practice, and rarely seen again once January hits.
So a few seasons ago, I made a decision that changed everything. I stopped chasing trends and invested in a few classic, endlessly wearable pieces. Chief among them: the black tuxedo. Tailored, chic, and eternally appropriate, it quickly became my most reliable holiday plus-one.
