If the answer is "often" get a PC (Prince Charlie) jacket and waistcoat. If the answer is "seldom" consider a black argyle outfit with matching vest.
P.
Panache has a good thought a PC and formal accessories can run in to a good deal of money. How often are you going to be fully formal where a PC would be necessary? If these are few and far between then an argyle jacket, worn with a vest (or even a flyplaid) will be a lot more versatile. A PC is pretty but if it sits in the closet most of the time, spend the extra money on fun accessories.
