I've been planning our formal and we have run into this problem in the past with brothers being strapped for cash. The simple solution was for them to wear a black suit and rent a vest and tuxedo shirt; to be honest I couldn’t even tell till one of them told me. The point of a tuxedo is for the men to blend together so the women have their moment in the spotlight. As long as everyone sticks to black suits you should be fine. However, that being said I still think a tux is the appropriate attire for a formal event.
