I voted 3. It could have been as many as 5, but I can remember 3 specifically. ---

1. My prom, a couple of weddings I was part of (I’m counting a formal kilt for this) and my own wedding. ---

I voted once, but it should have been twice. Once for formal night on a cruise, and once for my best friend’s wedding. ---

I own one, wear it every year for New Year’s Eve, and few other times throughout the year. ---

Shoot, wrong number. I put three, but actually it should be 5, 2 proms and 3 weddings. ---

One I’m certain of: at my own wedding. Another I’m pretty sure of: the wedding of a friend of mine (he’s since gotten divorced). I think that’s it. Oops, I missed one: my senior prom. Three. I think that’s it for me. ---

Two weddings, neither my own. ---

Twice: a black-tie affair that my then-employer hosted, and a wedding (not mine). ---

I checked 6-10 since the number is nine. I didn’t count the mess dress(formal) uniforms while in the Army. ---

1. Once for my wedding, once for a friend’s wedding where I was in the party. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/men-how-many-times-have-you-worn-a-tux/690514.md?page=2)
