business attire
Office dress code
Business attire is clothing appropriate for professional settings—typically suits, dress shirts, and polished shoes for men; suits, blouses, and conservative dresses for women.
The term distinguishes formal office wear from business casual, which relaxes the requirements.
What counts as business attire varies by industry: law firms expect suits, while tech companies may consider khakis dressed up.
