Tuxedo vs. Tailcoat
on: March 04, 2015, 03:22:52 AM
Which kind of attire do you prefer, for formal wear on concerts and/or gatherings?

TUXEDO



TAILCOAT



I must say I prefer the latter, since it's less common and more 'exotic'.

I like to throw on my tails for no reason at all. Go to the grocery store, wear my tuxedo with tails, and walk with a limp. People will do anything to make you happy! I am not sure what it is about that combination...

They're scared that you're completely insane and (being the US) also armed?  :-\

Hmm...in regards to this, if you don't mind the question, what is your age, actually?

Kids these days have no sense of propriety.

Tails are ONLY worn in the evening.  If it's an afternoon performance, only a tux is appropriate.

Im 19 with a bum knee anyway so the limp isnt hard to add. Years of doing flips and falling from great heights takes a toll on the body.... and I will have you know that I only do this after the sun has set...
