Again, I think that was in reference to concern about OTHER people's approval...Leo Jay--
The poster wrote, "If you're a man, it doesn't matter . . . what you're wearing." Â I would call that "disputing paying attention to style."

Why not. These three rules seem particularly well-suited to the occasion. I agree.In my opinion, there are three requirements for black tie:
1. The jacket should be peak lapeled or shawl lapeled (no notch lapels);
2. The bow tie should be black and hand tied; and
3. The shoes should have no broguing.
Everything else falls into the category of personal style. Â Always keep in mind, however, that the primary purpose of a tuxedo is not to call attention to you, but to provide a neutral backdrop to showcase what your female companion is wearing. Â (Perhaps that is what PHV was getting at.) Â So long as you make your wife look good, that's all that matters.
