dinner jackets

Black-tie evening wear

Dinner jackets are formal evening wear for men—the jacket component of a tuxedo, typically black or midnight blue with satin lapels.

In American English, the terms dinner jacket and tuxedo are often interchangeable, while British English more precisely distinguishes the jacket from the full outfit: He wore a dinner jacket to the gala.
