The Best Androgynous Alternatives To Gowns and Dresses
Formal without the gown
If dresses aren’t your thing, androgynous tailoring offers polished, gender-inclusive options that honor your style and comfort. Start with a tailored shirt: sharp, versatile, and made to fit you perfectly for everything from gallery nights to dinner parties. Pair it with wide-leg pants for a statement silhouette that flatters most bodies and works with blazers, knitwear, and nearly any shoe. Keep the palette neutral and minimal, think black, white, beige, greys, and earthy tones, to stay refined while centering your identity. The result: a formal look that’s chic, confident, and unmistakably you. No gown required.

How to Channel Your Inner Elvis Presley with Exquisite Embellishments
The Enduring Legacy of Elvis Presley's Fashion
Elvis Presley's iconic status as "The King" originated from his revolutionary musical prowess, soulful vocals and electrifying stage presence that dominated 1950s rock and roll. Yet his fashion played a sophisticated supporting role that continues to resonate today.
His embellished jumpsuits, intricate beadwork, and extravagant silhouettes weren't trend-following, they were bold expressions of radical individuality that challenged conventional masculinity and sparked cultural conversations. From Mick Jagger to Harry Styles, his fearless aesthetic choices continue inspiring contemporary artists and designers.
At The Tailory New York, we recognize that truly exceptional style emerges from the same conviction Elvis brought to his stage presence: confidence, individuality, and the courage to make bold choices. Your custom-designed clothing should tell your story authentically, fearlessly, and unforgettably, fit for a king or queen of your own domain.
