. . . or a white shirt & collar with a clerical vest to produce the same effect. When in company of black or white tie individuals, a black suit with clerical shirt and collar is still considered appropriate because, I guess, it's the "company uniform." It would look silly to have a clerical shirt or vest or whatever under a dinner jacket or cutaway with tails. Considerably less silly with an Argyle, Crail and kilt etc.
