It would probably come as no surprise that I'm of the opinion that no man should be without a tuxedo in his closet. For a little more than the price of a rental, you can buy one that will pass muster at any occasion that calls for one. I happen to have four - only one of which actually fits me at any given moment.


The morning this photo was taken, I had no idea that I was going to attend a black tie (suggested) event. But a seat at my company's table at a charity event opened up and I was tapped to fill it. There was no snobbery here - just a big crowd of well-dressed men and women having a good time for the purpose of encouraging them to reach into their pocketbooks to donate copiously to the epilepsy foundation.

Say what you will about comfort and utility - I'm all for that - but slip into a tux and something happens: you stand a little taller, glow a little brighter, and dang if you don't look a lot sexier.

Well, maybe so long as you are not wearing a silly hat and cheesy sunglasses.

Regards,
Rex.
