I'm planning on wearing my solid black tank on New Year's Eve at the club while working. I've got a nice dress sporran, hose (most like black or cream). I do NOT have a Prince Charlie or any other sort of jacket appropriate for a formal situation. I also do not plan on purchasing one anytime soon as the holiday season tends to deplete my fund$.

So the question I pose to my fellow rabble is this: is it ok to rent a short tuxedo jacket, black bowtie and tuxedo shirt? Personally, I think it would look pretty sharp. Is this a decent enough "alternative"?

Thoughts, comments other threads that may addressed this?

Thanks....
