5's VS Black Tie
I post this on an aircrew forum, to get an answer accurately and to reduce faff.
Off to a a civvie summer ball type function this weekend, obviously its black tie, but my civvie black tie kit is... Atomised. So, to save a bit of dollar I was considering the option of wearing my 5's, but im not sure on the rules for such things?
I asked my pongo friend and he said, and I quote: "I wore my mess-dress to a few civvy functions, instead of black-tie. The birds drip clunge juice all over themselves."
What is the definitive craic?
