Then in 1966, Yves Saint Laurent, the perennial French fashion designer, ushered in an iconic look with the introduction of the Le Smoking Tuxedo. Film would not be far behind with costuming when acctress Diane Keaton hit the big screen as "Annie Hall" in 1977, sporting ties,vests, and slouchy trousers.

Today, getting inspiration from a guys wardrobe, is a smart way to add edge to a look, whether it's a form-fitting vest atop a V-neck tee or an oversized watch flanked with a bevy of bangles, it's a hot look that can work on many. Give it a try, but remember to wear it daringly!
