simple dress
Unadorned basic outfit
A simple dress is a plain, unadorned garment—one without elaborate embellishments, complex construction, or flashy details.
The phrase emphasizes modesty and understated elegance: She wore a simple dress to the ceremony.
What counts as simple varies by context; a "simple black dress" at a gala might still be finely made, just unfussy in design.
