Leg Avenue Rhinestone Tux Kit

The tuxedo kit, dipped in rhinestones. A silver bow tie collar and a matching pair of cuffs, cut for the version of black tie that only happens after midnight. Put them on and a corset, a bodysuit or a plain mini dress starts reading showgirl immediately.

This is the sparkle route rather than the crisp white one, so it belongs with black, with metallics, and with anything you want catching a light. Add bunny ears for the cocktail bunny, a top hat for the magician, or nothing at all and let it be a very shiny collar. It keeps working well past Halloween at a burlesque night, a New Year's party or a birthday with a loosely defined dress code, and since there is nothing to size it gives well. Store it flat so the bow keeps its shape, wipe the stones with a dry soft cloth, and keep it out of water so the settings stay bright.

Rhinestones are the cheapest way to make an ordinary outfit look like an occasion. These arrive already matched, collar to cuffs, so the whole look is coordinated out of one small box instead of assembled from three.
