eveningwear
Black-tie clothing category
Eveningwear is formal clothing designed for evening social occasions such as galas, balls, and formal dinners.
For women, this typically means floor-length gowns or elegant cocktail dresses; for men, tuxedos or dinner jackets.
The term implies a level of formality above what one might wear to a casual dinner but encompasses a range from semiformal to black-tie attire.
The invitation specified eveningwear, so she pulled out her silk gown.
