On the other hand I think tails are probably the most elegant thing a man will never wear.
Why not
That's a pretty good reason, actually.
Not to derail the thread too much but what would you wear if you received that invitation ?
What about the famous pink suit scene? "An Oxford man!" He was incredulous. "Like hell he is! He wears a pink suit."
I'm going to a Gatsby theme party and this is something I can piece together easily from my wardrobe without buying anything new (I don't own tails). So that's my outfit for the night.
