Were they at least basic black?

And high top Chucks, hopefully?

Then, you should not have worn a tuxedo. Tuxedos are eveningwear.

This is where the UK and the US have diverged on 'formal' wear during the last few decades. Here in the UK, formal daywear has all but disappeared outside of weddings (and the last decade has seen a significant rise in the number of people getting married in lounge suits), where it is still common, whereas in the US it seems black tie has been evolving towards being a noe, all-purpose, type of formal dress, for day and evening. Anathema to those who feel the need to hold fast to the older 'rules', thouygh perhaps it will one day come to be seen as but one step in the evolution of black tie. After all, in the twenties black tie norms were still only emergent, and the idea that one might wear a dinner jacket (Tuxedo in American parlance) in public was still considered quite gauche by many. Now most people might wear black tie but once or twice in their lives, and perhaps not even be aware of white tie.
