formal suit
Dressy evening attire
A formal suit is a matched set of jacket and trousers—sometimes with a vest—made from the same fabric, worn for business, ceremonies, or dressy occasions.
The term distinguishes structured professional attire from casual separates: He wore a formal suit to the interview.
For the most formal events, this means black tie or white tie; for everyday formality, a well-fitted dark suit suffices.
