I have occasion once or twice a year to attend a black tie event; requiring, of course, wearing a tux. That's often enough that financially it makes more sense to buy rather than rent. sooo... since I own a tuxedo I find myself looking for excuses to wear it. There's something about wearing a tux that makes a man feel... well, special. Of course a tie is not always required, in many venues an ascot or cravat or even an open collar serve perfectly well and are much more comfortable.
