Regarding trouser stripes with white tie, the guide I've always known - which I believe I picked up from this particular thread - is that the stripes should match or complement the lapel facings (e.g. dinner jackets with self-faced lapels out to be matched with trousers with no stripe). Since all the white tie tails I've ever seen are faced, I would assume that striped trousers should always be worn. But what do I know, I'm just a yank who likes vintage western wear. . .
