I never understood why women are so careful to wear a dress that is different from all the other women's dresses, while all the men wear "uniforms". I have been to several parties where almost all the men wore suits, and I wore a sweater. I never felt uncomfortable, and nobody took notice of my "missing" uniform. In fact many of the men told me they envied me, but their spouse "forced" them into wearing a suit.

>>>I don't doubt that, and I did not want to offend anyone. But it's important to realize that the use of a tuxedo is much more common in your country. Here they are mostly used in "fine" gentlemen's clubs, and by the snobs in parties for other snobs. Should I be invited to the Nobel's peace prize dinner party, I would be stopped in the door with anything else on. But so far no invitation has been sent to me, and that's fine with me.
