morning coat

Wedding day jacket

A morning coat is a formal men's jacket with tails that taper from the front waist to a single broad tail at the back.

It's the centerpiece of morning dress, worn at weddings, formal daytime events, and ceremonies like royal garden parties: The groom wore a gray morning coat with striped trousers.

Despite the name, it's worn into the afternoon.
