      Also, this is a very western tradition so an Asian like me wouldn't have the obligation to understand the difference between the two parties or the two tea times.
      However, if your context is in "Yeah, it's mind boggling to me how big companies who make movies for millions of people don't understand the difference!", then yeah, I agree with you. There's this thing called "research" and they should've done their homework before writing the story plot.

    For those wondering the main physical difference between a tux and a suit is that tuxedos have satin details-satin-faced lapels, satin buttons and a satin side-stripe down the pant leg-suits do not. Modern tuxedos often limit the use of satin to a thin trim on the lapels and a skinny stripe down the pant leg, but this is still considered a tuxedo. On a suit, the jacket, lapel and pants all consist of the same material. Instead of satin buttons, a suit will usually have bone, plastic or fabric-covered buttons.
    Accessories~ Classic tuxedo accessories include a cummerbund, waistcoat, suspenders and a self-tied bowtie. However, these days, many men opt for less formal accessories. Long ties and high-stance vests are now acceptable to wear with tuxedos, depending on your personal style and how formal you want to look. Suits are more versatile than tuxes and can be dressed up or down, depending on the accessories, and can be worn with or without a vest. They also look great with both bowties and long ties.
    Shirt style~ Tuxedos are worn with white shirts that have either a wing collar or a turndown collar. Suits can be worn with a variety of dress shirts, in a solid color or pattern.
    Shoes~ Black patent shoes are usually worn with tuxedos. Loafers, oxfords or slip-on shoes are acceptable to wear with suits.
    Events~ Tuxedos are reserved for evening events only, and for formal occasions like black-tie weddings, charity galas and nights at the opera. Suits are appropriate for any time of day, and can be worn at less casual events like business meetings and dates.

      I don’t understand why all the advice for black tie is for men. They have uniforms for everything that barely differ. Womenswear is so much trickier with an insane variety of fabrics, cuts, colours, lengths, not to mention footwear and accessories. How are women supposed to know what to wear - what’s appropriate, what’s good, what’s applauded, and what’s embarrassing?

    I always loved the performance of the actress organizing the party planner for her father in "Meeting Joe Black". I could feel all her stress, all her dedication to this party that her father seemed not even to pay any attention for. Her attention to details, her planning ahead. That was a brilliant performance and I felt her anguish every step of the way as a daughter wanting the love and aproval of her father.

    This was so interesting to watch! The way Karleen can price things out so quickly speaks to her wealth of knowledge & experience, and her speaking style is very engaging. She's also gorgeous. 😊 I felt like I was getting a crash course in event planning & I'll appreciate any future events I attend more as a result.
