Definition

Informal attire consists of, for men, asuit, the main components of which are a pair oftrouserswith a matchingjacket. The suit is typically dark-coloured (with or without a pattern): gray, dark blue, brown, or black. The suit is worn with a long-sleevedshirt,dress shoes and anecktie.

Definition ContinuedInformal attire for women in its strictest interpretation is patterned after the male standarda suit consisting of a jacket with matching skirt or trousers, plus ablouse. This interpretation of informal attire is not quite so commonly worn by women as by men, as there are other forms of female attire acceptable in informal settings.

OriginsThesuitwas originally a nineteenth-century British innovation in dress: seeking a casual alternative to the long, heavyfrock coatsthen considered appropriate business dress; men began to wear lighter coats cut just below the waist when not engaged in business.Standard suit-making fabric is fine combed wool, with the inclusion of cashmere in more expensive fabrics. Cheaper suits are often made of wool-polyester blends.This business suit (also known as the "sack suit" inNorth America, commonly byBrooks Brothers) became the standard business daywear for all men who were not engaged in physical labor. The waistcoat (British) orvest(American) was worn regularly with the suit up toWorld War II, but is rarely seen today, due to central heating in offices and the expense of construction. Until at least the early 1960s it was common to wear a hat.

Use in the WorkplaceMost men do not wear suits in their everyday lives. They wearuniforms, or other inexpensive, sturdy clothing that can be easily laundered. Wearing a suit to work daily is often an indication ofmanagerialor professional status. However, when on ajob interviewor attending businessmeetings, many men who do not otherwise wear suits, will dutifully wear them as a mark of respect and formality. Many how-to books for men recommend wearing a conservatively styled suit to an employment interview even when the man does not expect to ever wear a suit on the job.The standard for women is also in flux. In the 1970s, women aspiring to managerial or professional status were advised to "dress for success" by wearing clothing that imitated the male business suit: jacket and matching skirt, worn with a plain blouse and discreet accessories. The plain blouse is designated as a long sleeve button down shirt tucked properly into the skirt at the waist. Some women worepantsuits, substituting pants for the skirt, but in doing so, they risked the displeasure of many who felt that women should not wear pants.
