After looking at all the formal pics I've noticed that anyone wearing a bow tie seems to use the wing-tip tuxedo shirt. So my question is this, is there anything wrong with wearing a lay-down collar tuxedo shirt instead of the wing tip? I've always loved the look of the lay-down collar tuxedo shirt with a traditional dinner jacket and think it would also look pretty dang good with a kilt. What say you, wise kilt wearers?
Traditionally, a wing-tip collared shirt is really only for "white tie", but the formal-wear rental places have made it more standard.
For "black tie", a "lay-down" collar is more appropriate.
