Pitt pulls it off....I think the black vest + black tie and suit gives enough of a tux flair and convinces me that he's not off to a meeting. As for the rest of them, I think they either look way to casual to be considered an alternative to black tie, or they look like they are dressed for the office. Is it just me?
I love what style icon Willie Brown did here with a midnight blue bow tie
subtle but really stylish,,, and at night you only know it's not black when up close

(I still can't tell from the picture if his shirt is light blue or white)

Actually it's not that big of a deal. It's actually decent advice if something isn't "Black Tie"; but, you want to wear black.Originally Posted by SoCal2NYC
+1 Too true. The Etro and the Prada look great for social occasions.

To me, Pitt looks like the best of a bunch of bad examples. I know he's not off to a meeting because he's half-masting. I know for sure he's not off to black tie because he's half masting.
The only one of all these photos who did Black Tie well is Willie Brown. I think that for Black Tie events, tuxes should be a little fuller and more opulent than your average lounge suit. The super slim cut things look good in other situations, but they aren't black tie.

I think you have out-opuled me.
Actually, I have very little experience with Black Tie. I've been to two full-on Black Tie events in the last year and first time I didn't go with the grain but saw some great examples of people in very well fitted, elegant tuxes and was impressed, second time I did go with the grain (partly because the bride forced me to) and I was glad I did it.
