Last time I wore a suit was to my grandmother's funeral. I don't wear them if I can help it. If I can't get in without a suit, I don't go. It's a ridiculous idea that dressing up like a Victorian == smart. You can be just as smart in a decent shirt and a clean pair of jeans.
I agree with dodgy, you are completely missing the point.
A friend of my son went to join my son's golf club last year. He lasted two days, having got the hump about dress code. He missed the point as well.

And more outrageous behavior seems to be the norm at black tie do's. Maybe it's the freely available champers but the only time I've seen a couple having full on sex on a staircase was at one of these do's. (Do murmur 'Evening' as you pass, or ignore? I chose the ignore option..)
And there's nothing quite a sexy as a man with an undone black tie at the end of the evening. [sigh]
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.
So, am off out tongiht with some mates to a black tie do. WHo here thinks that you need to dress up in a tux now and again becuase nothing there is nothing else like it for having a great night out.
I bought my Tux at Uni and its had more outings than my regular suit.
You look a bit silly sitting in a bar on your own reading your "dummies guide to making friends" wearing a tuxedo.
