Dear God no! Tuxedos are one of those things where if you wait patiently for a few months, you can pick up a well-made freebie. Also, there are often freebies available at
SL's many ballroom dance areas (e.g. the Galaxy cruise liner's ballroom has a nice tux with gold trim, I believe).
I would toss basic black tuxedos onto the list with jeans and T-shirts as items you should be able to get for nothing, unless there is a very particular style you MUST have. Good suits are a different matter, it's worth it to spend money on at least one good suit (just as in RL). I know of a place in an Italian sim that has flexi jackets that drape beautifully, but I can't remember the name at the moment and I can't login to
SL right now to check. Blaze is also a good bet for both suits and tuxedos, you can't go wrong there.
Frankly, I have found that with a bit of persistence and keeping an ear to the ground, I have been able to obtain every kind of clothing from casual to formal for L$0 or L$1. You build up your inventory as hunt and specials become available, and by the end of one year, you should have everything you need.
