dress coats

Black tie jackets

Dress coats are formal tailcoats worn for ceremonial occasions, white-tie events, or as part of military full dress uniforms.

The front cuts away sharply at the waist while long tails extend down the back: The conductor wore a dress coat for the symphony's opening night.

Distinguished from less formal evening wear by their precise cut and traditional styling.
