The Edit: Doing black tie in blue satin

Taking its cues from contemporary street culture, Saint Laurent’s new Blue Satin-Trimmed Velvet Tuxedo Jacket is an elegant, yet striking choice for formal evening occasions.

Crafted in Italy from lustrous midnight-blue velvet, the padded shoulders enhance the garment’s smart profile, whilst the contrasting satin lapels give it a dapper finish. Visible stitched edges emphasise how impeccable and intricate Saint Laurent’s tailoring is and, with peak lapels, two front flap pockets and a single vent, this is a jacket that promises to keep you both comfortable and conspicuous.
