The new GQ "Men of The Year" issue shows you how to buy a tuxedo and wear it like a rockstar with the help of Brandon Flowers, the lead singer of one of my favorite bands, The Killers. Brandon was chosen as one of GQ’s men of the year for having a ‘killer year.'
Photographed by Paola Kudacki, Brandon Flowers guides you through different tux styles, from the basic tuxedo by Burberry Prorsum with a bow tie (oh yeah, they are back), the bold blue by Gucci and James Bond-ish white dinner jacket by Tommy Hilfiger to the Rockstar velvet by Neil Barrett. You can even go for a relaxed look by wearing a tux from Dolce & Gabbana with a t-shirt (image 4.)
The article recommends you finish up your look with a stylish watch, cuff links and studs.
