The tuxedo hasn't changed in years and years because it looks good on everybody. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

I have often thought about how many ancillary, unneeded pieces of apparel that women are expected to wear and really, there aren't many for men.... except the neck tie.

It's also funny because I realized, when reading this that the only thing I have a lot of, attire-wise like women's and their "unneeded pieces of apparel," are ties.

My dress attire is as follows: 1 x blazer 1 x tux 1 x dress shoes 1 x nice leather belt (brown/black reversible, it's awesome) 2 x pairs or dress shoes ~8 x ties in different colors/hilarious design obscurities.
