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...

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...
