The beauty of a smoking jacket is its interchangeability. While the original 1850s design was an informal, lounge style jacket worn almost exclusively at home, the smoking jacket has also served a long stint in formalwear (it's suggested that wearing smoking jackets as a dinner jackets was made popular by Edward, Prince of Wales - later King Edward VII - in 1865). These days, while our smoking habits have somewhat fizzled out, we're still fond of this historical design. Formal Events More and more people are opting for a smoking jacket over a tux at formal events - with celebrities on red carpets and at award shows, opera-goers, and wedding guests and groomsmen all taking part in the trend. Pair yours with a crisp shirt, slacks (bonus points if the material and colour matches your jacket) and a pair of oxfords, brogues or loafers for an elevated formal look. Casual Events This doesn't mean you can't wear a smoking jacket anywhere else. The casual aesthetic of the smoking jacket makes it a great fit for casual parties, dinners with friends and even lazy (yet sophisticated) days at home. Simply wear with a t-shirt, trousers and slippers (formal or dressy) to create a put-together outfit.
