Last evening was the season opening of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and even though traditionally season openings of things like the Opera or Symphony or things of that nature were black-tie affairs, I knew I'd be one of the few people in a tuxedo. So, I decided to not go strictly black-tie and opted instead for an art-deco inspired bowtie from Beau Ties of Vermont in addition to some enamel cufflinks from the Chicago Lyric Opera. I'd say what I was going for was 'creative' black tie. I was still, by far, the most formally dresses saved for the musicians and conductor.
Oh, and yes I know my jacket is a bit tight, but when you're a muscular guy on a budget you make do with what you have 😅
Side note; is it too much to ask people be silent when the orchestra is playing? I swear every minute or so someone around had something they were compelled to say to their neighbor.
