BTW: He is absolutely right when he says a long tie should not be worn with a tuxedo.

And I would counter that, a white tailcoat would ONLY be acceptable under the most formal of circumstances in a climate where a white dinner jacket would also be considered acceptable under slightly less formal ones - certainly nowhere else.

I wouldn't necessarily equate it as "most formalist" either, but, like the white dinner jacket, a white tailcoat would be appropriate as summer wear in a warm climate. The only possible exception I can think of to that might be U.S. Navy officers dress whites, or possibly a white "military cut" jacket worn in semi-formal settings.

And in any case, a white formal jacket should NEVER, under any circumstances be worn with white trousers - that truly IS an abomination!

@3, Yes, white tails are terrific if you're up on a bandstand. If you're not performing, wear black to formal events.

He's completely right about the tie and about Sean Connery, though.
