Your complete guide to black tie formal wear:
Wedding season is almost here, which means you might be faced with more formal attire than average.

Viral Orolay Amazon Coat: It's Fine to Wear ItLast winter, New York Magazine’s e-commerce tastemaker blog The Strategist published an investigation into a particular jacket spotted on the Upper East Side. Dubbed the “Amazon Coat” for its unlikely provenance, it was written about far and wide, and eventually became ubiquitous to a certain subset of women who live in New York City and pay close attention to Twitter for work, pleasure, or a hideous combination of both.
