Tux do’s

Can you get away with wearing a suit, or even better shirt and trousers? 

Featured Replies

No, if it is a dress do, has to be the correct attire 

A dark lounge suit with white shirt and bow-tie would be acceptable attire for a black tie dinner. Black shoes are a must.

Thanks chaps

My Tux no longer fits , so Ill be wearing a Black suit with a dress shirt and bow tie.

BTW when did it become a tux rather than a DJ ?

Just remember Bow ties are unacceptable unless you’re a toddler at a wedding, peewee Herman, Mr Wolf or farakhan

Do it but wear white trainers and call everyone else who doesn't a sheeple 

Seriously though 

Fuck that

He's taken a couple of 'E's...

Its' egalitarian. The idea is that a <insert low quality menial job> can be sat at the same table as <insert high powered top earner> and neither knows what each other does as everyone is dressed the same.

Tux dos are load of old bollox if dress code that strict don’t bother. 

Whiff of noncery about such things.

I've got one on Monday. Fucking ball ache. Fannying about trying to sort the right fucking shirt out all week. 

If I have to buy a drink I'll be raging. 

Last time I went to one or those, we were the only ones  who actually followed the dress code and wore DJs and dickie bows.

Everybody else was just in suits and ties.

Stood out like a sore thumb.

We looked like a really shit male stripping group

I've got a couple for award dos when you can't get in without Black tie but it doesn't have to be a bow tie, dress shoes and cumberbund anymore. Those are usually reserved for the older gentlemen. Tux, white shirt and slim black tie.

Now, I've never been invited to a white tie do. Those look proper posh.

I hear you. Not something I’m looking forward too

Is it the do, or the outfit that you don't fancy?

Not for me to be honest, but if the do was for something I was really wanting to experience, then the suit bit wouldn't be an issue.

Not that such an occasion has ever arisen!

Nor mine.

Much prefer a more relaxed atmosphere where you don't have to pretend.
