Just one man's opinion, but it's a good starting point.
I'd wear the black Argyle jacket with with a white French cuff shirt, and this style waistcoat with my Roman collar.
I believe this style is called a
gilet. Many of the priests in my diocese wear them and they look quite nice.
Matt beat me to it recommending the sound advice from the Black-Tie guide.
Since I don't have the luxury of being an expert on everything, I have often used blacktieguide.com as a guide in developing my personal formal dress style.
If it were me, I would go with this same look.
