The most common event men think about wearing a white tuxedo to is a wedding, but most weddings do not call for white tuxedos. If the wedding is on a beach or somewhere very hot, white is perfectly acceptable, but otherwise, black is more appropriate.
White tuxedos are much more common at high school proms. At proms, white creates a feeling of whimsy and innocence, and celebrates crossing over into manhood. A white tuxedo is suitable for a prom except when your date is wearing white.
White tuxedos are suitable for formal events that are taking place in extremely hot weather, such as an outdoor event at a country club, or a dinner on an upscale cruise. For those occasions when black just seems too ordinary, white tuxedos are a fine substitute.
Finally, on the rare occasion that you receive an invitation to an event that specifies "white tie," you may wear a white tuxedo. White-tie events are similar to black-tie events, but are even more formal. White-tie events were made famous in the Victorian era, where men wore white tuxedos complete with tails, top hats, and gloves in the evening. At most white-tie events, the top hat and gloves are optional, but the white tuxedo is a must.
