Was This the Style Secret to Winning an Oscar?

The piece: Club Monaco Fordina Tuxedo Blazer [1]

The price: $398

Why we want it: We knew that Jared Leto [2] and Matthew McConaughey [3] were winners even before their categories were announced — and it was all because of their blazing white tuxedo jackets. During an awards show where, time after time, guys get dressed up in black, it was a refreshing change to see more than a few dapper gents deviate from the norm.

And they got us thinking: why can't ladies take a cue from Jared and Matthew and don a sleek dinner jacket the next time we're dressing for a night out? There's arguably no easier way to add a little menswear flair to your look than with this wardrobe go-to. We especially love the idea of styling this little guy with a pair of matchstick pants and some killer heels (OK, maybe we're also taking some inspiration from Jenna Lyons [4]) to show that borrowing from the (red carpet) boys can still be downright feminine.
