Absolutely The mess dress is indeed nice, but the dress whites have more use for ceremonies and other events........ And speaking of mess dress events, I have had occasion to attend what is called a 'dining in' Officers of a particular organization or unit, in our case squadron, would gather for an evening of drinking and dinner etc. No wives/husbands. I always had the option of mess dress or evening apparel I opted for latter as I did not want to buy the mess dress, too expensive and so little use. I opted instead to wear evening attire They were great events.
