overdressed
Excessively formally attired
Overdressed means wearing clothes too formal or elaborate for the occasion.
Someone in a tuxedo at a backyard barbecue is overdressed.
The word implies a mismatch between attire and setting: I felt overdressed in my suit when everyone else wore jeans.
The opposite is underdressed.
