Do you ever go to formal work functions?
Are they just as bad as school formals aka proms?

I have never owned a 'monkey' suit or worn a bow tie. I was tricked into wearing the most pretentious outfit at a wedding (top hat, tails and cravat) when I agreed to be a Best Man before I knew that the Bride was a complete snob and control freak. I actually laughed when I was told. I have no photos.
Only once did my work place (a school) propose a very formal black tie gala dinner, but enough staff said that they wouldn't attend for it to become a less formal affair with lounge suits being acceptable.
The awful, competitive US-style leaving proms hadn't become a thing before I left school teaching, thank goodness.
