Can you wear a mandarin collar shirt, with a non-mandarin collar tuxedo?

(yes, I know that you probably clicked on this thread to yell at me, but please don't =)

I have a fly-front tux, and want to wear it. Yes, I want to be fashion-forward, because, I'm going to such an event. I just wanted to know if mandarin-collared shirts were only for the tuxedos of the same name.

Thanks in advance!

It won't be traditionally "correct" but if it works for you, knock yourself out.

My biggest hesitation re: doing this wouldn't be the "rules", but rather the risk of it looking too much like the sort of black tie gear Steven Seagal sometimes wore in the mid/late 90s... not exactly one of my style role models.
