suit and tie

Office dress code

A suit and tie is formal men's attire combining a matched jacket and trousers with a necktie—the standard uniform for business, legal, and ceremonial settings.

The phrase often represents formality or professional conformity itself: It's a suit-and-tie kind of place.

Someone described as a suit and tie embodies corporate culture.
