business suit
Professional matching outfit
A business suit is a matched set of jacket and trousers (or skirt) worn in professional settings, typically made from the same fabric in conservative colors like navy, gray, or black.
The term distinguishes formal professional attire from casual dress: The dress code requires a business suit.
In contexts where suits are standard, simply "suit" suffices.
