I solved this dilemma by no longer going to 'Black Tie' events. Poncey outdated nonsense.

Buy, don't hire, because they're always useful especially for job interviews.

Fold down collar. Wing tip is for white tie.

Which by chance coincided with you not being invited anymore?

If you're going to go to a black tie just stick to the basics, if you do something a bit different you'll look like a tit.

Not getting a lot of love for the white pocket square......

I rather like it, providing it's done understated Sean Connery style, not stuffed in the breast pocket like an Oxford antique dealer

Classic, you may not need Armani though

Agreed. You can't improve on perfection (and I'm not talking about Daniel Craig). Pocket square (see????), a little bit of white cuff showing beyond the sleeve of the jacket. Oh, and black socks....no other colour is in any way acceptable.

My dress shirt has those little black buttons instead of regular white ones. What's the CC view on these?

The lovely George has metal? Buttons. No pocket square though, but mmmm.
This thread is a place for posting of rather tasty blokes in tuxedos, how marvellous

Can't really add anything to the previous comment:

Yeah, I can guarantee I wouldn't look even vaguely like that, even in the most expensive tux ever!

That's what to do with your beard though or at least get it properly trimmed

Black studs on your shirt is right, I have a dress shirt with a satin sheen pattern on it and plain buttons wouldn't look right.

Yes thank goodness.
