TUXEDO SUIT
Lindsay Nicholas designed the Tuxedo Jacket and Tuxedo Trouser in Black for a woman who has no interest in imitating anyone.
The result is women’s tuxedo that feels entirely their own: sharp where it needs to be, soft where it wants to be, and considered in every detail.
The Tuxedo Jacket in Black
This is the piece that sets the tone. The Tuxedo Jacket in Black carries the architectural precision of a women's tuxedo suit with the kind of editorial spirit that makes a room take notice. Wear it as a full tuxedo suit with the matching trousers, or break it apart.
Over a silk shell and your favourite trousers, it creates a look that is polished without being predictable. Layer it over the Tuxedo Blouse in Snow for graphic contrast, or pair it with the Ally Pant in Black for something more relaxed. The jacket works because it was designed to live in more than one context.
The Tuxedo Trouser in Black
The Tuxedo Trouser in Black completes the women's tux. Tailored with the same intention as the jacket, it holds its line from morning through evening without compromise. Worn as part of the full female tuxedo suit, it delivers a statement. Worn with a simple knit or one of our tops, it carries quiet authority on its own. This is tuxedos for women stripped of costume and built for real life.
How to Style a Women's Tux Beyond the Black Tie
A women's clothing investment should never be limited to a single occasion. The Tuxedo Jacket over a silk dress turns a dinner into an event. The Tuxedo Trouser under an Elizabeth Jacket mixes collections in a way that feels intentional, not accidental. Add the Newbury Trench in wool and mulberry silk as your outerwear layer for cooler months, and you have suit wear for ladies that works across seasons.
The best tuxedo suit is the one that refuses to stay in one lane. Mix it with your existing suiting, dress it down with a cashmere knit on the weekend, or wear it exactly as designed for the evening that calls for something more.
Every piece is made with care in small batches, many in our Ethical Clothing workshops, because women's clothing with this much intention deserves craft to match.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is included in the Lindsay Nicholas New York women's tuxedo suit?
The collection features two pieces: the Tuxedo Jacket in Black and the Tuxedo Trouser in Black. Each works as a full tuxedo suit together or styled independently with other pieces in your wardrobe.
2. Can a female tuxedo be worn to work?
Yes. The Tuxedo Jacket layered over a tailored blouse is polished enough for any professional setting. The Tuxedo Trouser pairs just as well with a simple knit for a streamlined workday look.
3. How does a women's tuxedo differ from traditional suiting?
Tuxedo pieces carry editorial details, from the cut of the lapel to the finish of the fabric, that set them apart from everyday suits for women. The silhouette is designed for presence and personality rather than a strict corporate structure.
4. Is a women's tux only for formal occasions?
Not at all. The Tuxedo Jacket works over denim and a silk shell for weekend dinners. The Tuxedo Trouser pairs with a cashmere sweater for a look that crosses occasions without a costume change.
5. What makes this female tuxedo suit different from other tuxedos for women?
Lindsay Nicholas designed it as women's clothing first, not a menswear adaptation. The proportions, the tailoring, and every structural detail are built for a woman's body and a woman's life.
6. How should I care for my women's tuxedo pieces?
Both pieces are dry-clean only. Hang on shaped hangers between wears and allow the fabric to rest for at least a day before wearing again.
