Is The Tux Dead?

I think tuxes are great on men . . . but I also believe a great tailored black suit can be just as effective.
I have never owned one myself and never will. I don't believe that tuxedos are feminine enough for my body type.

Since making this post, I haven't worn my tux but once! LOL
I have 3 weddings in the next 5 days, non are tuxes!! LOL

In 30+ years of DJ'ing, I never once wore a tux. In fact, the only time I wore one, was my wedding, and it was white, to show off my tan 
The last 10 years or so, I simple wore "my outfit", which identified me. Very casual, laid back island type stuff -- certainly no tie, and sneakers (always white).
Like Johnny mentioned earlier, I am an entertainer, not a waiter
I remember being at a big corp. Christmas party once, and asked this guy in a tux if he could take away my plate, and get me a beer -- turns out, he was the DJ -- I got a chuckle out of it, but apparently he didn't

No! Strictly Nordstrom black pants, black vest, shiny black shoes, a bowler hat (sometimes) and open neck shirt all classy clothing - I don't want to look like the guests
Alright, what's this thing with black and white...?
Anybody ever hear of colors?
C'mon, ya design yer websites with myriads of colors, yer business cards, yer brochures, the whole nine.
And then you show up looking like a piano keyboard
That's Entertainment...? :sqerr:

I will ask the client always.
If not a tux it could be shirt and tie, Shirt and tie with tux vest, if casual, I will wear a pair of dark pants and a company polo.

Lately I have been asking clients if they want me to dress in Tux or Tux attire and their answers have been....No, no, no and no..with a couple of we don't care thrown in for good measure!
Not one client has asked me to wear the penguin suit.

Guys that wear a tux really dont want to,but feel that they have to.Know what I mean? When was the last time you were the only one in the room other than the wedding party that wore a tux? To me tuxcedos are a thing of the past for entertainers
I tried wearing a tux years ago. I said to myself, self, what the hell am I doing? That was the end of that. No one ever asks me to wear one either. I've had a few ask the question but only because it was on one of those dumb @ss "10 things to ask a DJ" cheat sheets.
I wear my tux for virtually all of my gigs which are weddings.
When I met a B&G for their May 3rd wedding reception a couple of months ago, they said that a suit would be fine instead of a tux.
Yesterday I had my final planning meeting with the B&G. They told me that the bride's mom saw the picture of me in my tux on my website and decided that she liked how I look in my tux, so the suit is out. I'll wear my tux.
Sorry, people, but the tux is in style here in Atlanta! And I really don't care either way...I'm so used to wearing my tux, it doesn't bother me except when my tux shirt has too much starch in it and I can't get the damn tuxedo studs to button in!
My tux makes me stand out, which is fine with me since I am the Master of Ceremonies. I get a lot of compliments on the way I look in one.
