Friend Jack and I have been working on a list of iconic menswear which is forthcoming (suggestions?), but in the meantime here are some great black tie ensembles. Oh for the day when you couldn't go to the club to read the paper w/o your black tie, le sigh.
For more on men's formal wear classifications see this entry.

I have a suggestion for a menswear topic...the manpri!! It runs rampant in Europe and sometimes you see it on an American. The v-neck tee is also a potential topic (and looks best on Europeans and Scandinavians!) Let me know if you need more ideas...like the mullet. :)
