We interrupt the blog fast to post something incredibly snobbish.
In the United States the rule of thumb is that gentlemen eschew white excepting the period from Memorial Day through Labor Day. (An exception is usually admitted in the tropics.) So that was the first mistake. But setting aside that social faux pas, there just aren't many men who can make the white dinner jacket work. Think Bogart in Casablanca. As always the rule in polite society, is don't draw attention to yourself. (Mistake #2) But if you are going to attempt something out of the ordinary in a social setting make sure you have the necessary skills to carry it off. White dinner jackets are NOT advised for the novice, lest you end up looking like you stopped by on your way home from the Junior PROM (circa 1984).
And on a side note, if the invite says "Black Tie," a burgundy bow tie is probably not a good idea either.
