Formal Wear Primer
Evening Dress White tie=formal black tie=semi formal I do agree with you about the waistcoat. As Emily Post ,and many style icons of the 20's would agree that a white pique waistcoat is a great way to brighten up a black tie outfit. -
Formal Wear Primer
Tomasso is right semi-formal=Dinner jacket(tuxedo) after 6pm and a stroller jacket before 6pm. There was even an article in in The Editorial of GQ last year that firmly states this just as it has always been. That doesn't mean people know anything, let alone follow the rules. -

Famous Hat Wearers of the Past!
