The Argyll jacket with 5 button waistcoat is really formal day wear attire, but a modern trend that is creeping in (and it works) is to use the Argyll, with a 3 buttoned waistcoat, for formal black tie events too.

What do we think of PC jackets with 5 button waistcoats? I've seen some pics like this.

I can't speak for others, but I am not a fan of the PC (every one seems to have one and there are far better alternatives), but if one is to be worn, then a low cut three button waist coat , with a white shirt and black tie(bow) is the way to show it off and yourself, to best advantage.
