I've been waiting for the perfect excuse to invest in a beautiful tuxedo jacket and (no prizes for guessing) have just found it.What to wear to your own book launch might sound like the ultimate in gratuitous self-promotion but it is my current fashion conundrum. Fortunately, I've done the research having just written a piece on tuxedos for the FT's How To Spend It. My current favourite jackets are by the Parisian label Pallas, a chic French atelier specialising in women's tailoring. Having worked behind-the-scenes with designers like Balenciaga and Céline, Pallas launched it's own-label collection in 2012, and is available to buy at Net-a-Porter.

Obviously when you're talking tuxedos, there's the iconic Saint Laurent style:

For a more purse-friendly option, the jacket I'm wearing in the publicity shot (see post below) is from Jaeger.

Then I just need to order my Advanced Style/ Fanny Karst t-shirt, beautifully modelled here by Lyn the Accidental Icon, and I'm good to go.
