Formal Designer Wear

Formal wear consists of a dinner jacket or a coat, a waistcoat but could be optional, trousers, a tie and a formal shirt. Business suits, as it is commonly known, originated during the 19th century America as an alternative to the much heavier frock coats. With the introduction of suits, people gave up their heavy suits and started using these suits in formal occasions.

After the First World War, business suits were usually used by upper class society together with the tuxedo, dinner jackets and waistcoats. However, after the Second World War, people started wearing suits without the waistcoats and eventually have been carried on until today. Today, business suits and formal suits are seldom used, mostly on formal occasions, corporate attire or business meetings.
