I live in China. My position requires me to attend many formal dinners and banquets (3-5/month). I have 6 tuxedos in style and colors, 12 different shirts and colors. I have vest and I have 2 double breasted vest with a silk collar pockets (looks like a coat without sleeves, the chicks love it) and pants to match. I wear this sometimes with blue jeans, less formal to clubs. I mix and match and find I like to wear without a vest or Cumber-bun most of the time (have many colors for each tux). I never have any comments other than positive. I don't think people really notice as today's styles are a little less strict. So be cool, do you're own thing unless there is a set dress code for the tux.
