Maybe this is partially because I am a classical musician, and so I stand a chance of actually getting the opportunity to wear it, but I love formalwear. I think that there is no mode of dress more flattering to the male figure. Something about the lines that it creates, and the purity of the black and white, and everything all pressed and starched. It is just fantastic.
i understand entirely that at certain events it may be required (although rarely would top hats be required), i would just feel very uncomfortable in it. i also dislike the fact that the men are required to basically all look the same while the women can wear any amount of elaborate confection. but i'm not much of a uniform fan either.
