That combination might seem a little penguinesque 
But then we used to call dinner jackets (tuxes) "penguin suits."

What, then, do the fellows in trousers wear for "formal" if not white tie, waist coat, and tails?

You are of course quite correct, white tie, white waistcoat and tails are worn together.As you say "formal" attire.
The trouble is, a PC is NOT the equivalent of white tie and tails.The PC is the equivalent of a dinner suit(tux) and as such,a black tie,usually a black waistcoat(never white), is correct.

Thanks for the clarification! I think that I have seen some reference to wearing the white pique shirt/tie/waistcoat with a PC, but I cannot remember where I may have read it.
Do I deduce that this would merit an immediate promotion to "certified numpty?"

So what your all saying is that I should probably not wear a fly plaid with a Sport Kilt?
