Yves Saint Laurent\'s famed Le Smoking, the pinnacle of tuxedos for la femme, is the inspiration for fashion\'s current love affair with masculine dressing. French actress, YSL muse and tux devotee Catherine Deneuve rates the tuxedo\'s ability to be both \'virile and feminine at the same time\', and it is this severe-mixed-with-sexy element that makes the tux so irresistible. When unearthing your perfect pantsuit, opt for a pair of wide-legged man-pants with boyish braces or keep it simple in skinny-legged trousers. Mannish tailoring looks best offset by girly accents, such as a frothy pink blouse or pussy-bow neck tie, but let the boys know you mean business by wearing a pair of sexy patent high heels.
