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!

I'm wearing it with this....i'm pretty tall and skinny. I think that you can see why I think a mandarin collar would work. If not, what's the corresponding vest and tie combo in that pic?

The event is the Green Tie Ball here in Chicago. It's something of a charity event for the trendy and the quasi-celebrities in the area.

Here are some pics from last year.....

As you can see, a departing from a traditional black tie stance is normal here. If anything, I'll be more closely dressed towards normal black tie standards, than a good amount of people there.

thanks!
