Normally I recommend classic pieces because they’ll have the cheapest cost-per-wear ratio over time. But trends can be fun to explore, especially when you can get in on them for cheap.

This season’s menswear trends for women have had many rethinking the expensive party dress. Want to really stand out and maybe even save some money? Rent or borrow a tux and pair it with fun, trendy accessories like these silk cummerbunds and bow ties! They’re just $18.95 for both.

I especially like the bright pink cummerbund for a great, feminine twist, though there’s a wide selection of colors. And I’m sure there are fashionistas out there who can totally rock it with casual wear, too.

Ships worldwide.
