It is what it is. The basic black tie rules have been in place for over a hundred years now. The only really acceptable colors have long been black, midnight blue (which appears black in the dark), and off white in specific climates.
There are no laws and if you watch the Grammys you see all kind of outlandish stuff. Does it work? That’s obviously up to the viewer but I think most of the men end up looking like teenagers who licked their prom outfit from a catalog. Is it tasteful self expression? Personally I think it’s more about being self absorbed but these are celebrities I’m talking about so…
I’d rather dress like James Bond then this guy:
Descendant of the Gillises and MacDonalds of North Morar.
