black tie, white tie

[Bugbear]

It is not as if anyone is being told to live every moment of their life wearing a morning coat or tuxedo... It is also not as if ones cup can nott run over at any station in this time and country...

I think they (the jeans with tuxedo crowd) should be turned away at the door for the good of all involved if that makes sense.

The black tie and white tie "dress codes" make things much easier or unstressful anyway; you should see some of the non-conformist dress codes.
