underdressing
Too few clothes
Underdressing means wearing clothes that are too casual or insufficiently formal for an occasion: I felt awkward underdressing for the gala in just a blazer.
The term also refers to putting on fewer layers than the weather warrants.
In culinary contexts, underdressing means using too little salad dressing.
