three-piece suit
Jacket, vest, trousers
A three-piece suit consists of matching jacket, trousers, and vest, all cut from the same fabric.
The vest (or waistcoat) distinguishes it from a standard two-piece suit.
Three-piece suits suggest formality, tradition, or a certain professional polish: He wore a three-piece suit to the interview.
The style cycles in and out of fashion.
