Suit or Tux?

[star_loved]

I'm trying to write a fic where I refer to the prom, but I'm unsure about something, when Brian walks in to the prom is he wearing a suit or a tuxedo? I think it may be a tux but the reasonable side of my brain wonders where he would get a tux from on short notice and there's the fact that he has suits at his loft which would just be there for the

It's a tux, just not a traditional one. You're thinking cummerbund and bowties, like Justin was dressed. Think about the Oscars, where the men wear various styles of tuxes. And actually, Brian had the bowtie, he just didn't tie it.

Also, Brian would definitely have a tux, if not two. He was a senior ad exec, and entertained clients all the time. Also, he attended the Clio Awards (remember 120?), which is a big deal in advertising.

on the basis that he had a dark (red-ish?) bowtie draped around his neck, I vote tux.
you can really see the bowtie when he's getting out of the ambulance: http://youtu.be/oI28LNfzeJ0

Might be totally irrelevant, but what about the Melanie's "sperm donor contest" dream? Is that the same tux, or even a tux at all?

But regardless, I would certainly think Brian would own his own tux...
