ceremonial dress
Ritual occasion garments
Ceremonial dress is clothing worn for formal occasions, rituals, or official functions—distinguished from everyday attire by its formality, symbolism, or traditional significance.
Military uniforms with medals, judicial robes, academic regalia, and traditional garments worn at weddings or religious rites all qualify: The queen appeared in full ceremonial dress.
The term emphasizes the occasion's importance rather than practical function.
