white tie & tails
I'm sure you have the notion that if a gentlemen dons full evening dress, a.k.a. white tie [& tails} a.k.a. soup and fish, for dancing, he will look like Fred Astaire. Aside from the fact that not one in 10 milllion men owns a full evening kit and the cost of renting one is outrageous, the unhappy fact is that not one in 10 million men will ever look anything remotely like Fred Astaire. Most look like a penguin, and nothing could look sillier than a dancing penguin.
