formal suit, composed of an [[100304|evening jacket]], [[100303|evening-dress trousers]] (almost invariably in black), a white [[100302|evening-dress waistcoat]], and a white [[100301|evening-dress shirt]]. White gloves and low black shoes are indispensable accessories. E. d. emerged in the 18th century as an outfit for military officers; only later did it become civilian clothing. In the early 19th century it began to be worn with long trousers; in the mid 19th century it had become formal attire only. E. d. is worn on gala social occasions; in ladieswear its equivalent is the evening gown.
