Oprah Winfrey, Kim Kardashian and other celebrities rocked the Canadian tuxedo
NEWNow you can listen to Fox News articles!
The Canadian tuxedo has been around since the 1950s and is as fashionable as ever.
Legend has it that the word Canadian tuxedo was born after Bing Crosby was refused entry to a luxury hotel in Vancouver, Canada for being underdressed, as he was wearing a denim suit designed by the famous jean brand, Levi.
After learning of Crosby’s condition, Levi Strauss & Co. they created a full denim tuxedo for the singer, so he would never again be accused of being passed over.
Since then, the denim on denim look has been called the Canadian tuxedo and has been worn by many celebrities, including Oprah Winfrey and Kim Kardashian, both on and off the red carpet.
