Sort of. White tie has never lost its sparkle. Black tie can end up feeling like a double-glazing sales managers' annual conference unless the setting is right. But nothing else puts you in leisure mode quite like it.
Though I would say: it's only a tuxedo if you're American. If you're British (and you should be), it's a dinner jacket. Because it's a synecdoche (as is "black tie" itself) and there aren't many of them around these days.
