Black tie optional you can wear a dark suit. Black tie means tux.

Showing up at a black tie event in a business suit and a regular tie is an alpha move.

Go this route, Affliction meets Halloween.



PS: How do you get to the age of majority and not own a tuxedo and/or don’t think the rules apply to you?

I feel like you could’ve answered your question just by reading your question.

Are jeans acceptable at a semi-formal?

Just go in your Birthday Suit.

It depends on how much you care about what the people at the event think of you.

Maybe not a tux but you had to dress up for Sacrament Meeting every Sunday so you were no stranger to fine dress.

Yeah, was just talking about a tux. I doubt I've worn one over ten times in my life so I just rent.
