Formal wear (Canada, US) and formal dress wear (UK) are general terms for clothing suitable for formal social events, such as a wedding, formal garden party or dinner, débutante cotillion, dance, or race.

The Western style of formal evening dress, characterized by black and white garments, has spread through many countries; it is almost always the standard formal social dress in countries without a formal national costume.

In the United States, and increasingly in the United Kingdom and Canada, a promenade dance, most commonly called a prom, is a semi-formal (black tie) dance or gathering of high school students.

This event is typically held near the end of the senior year (the last year of high school).

Proms figure greatly in popular culture and are major events among high school students.

High school juniors attending the prom may call it "junior prom" while high-school seniors may call it "senior prom".

In practice, this event may be a combined junior/senior dance.

A wedding dress or wedding gown is the clothing worn by a bride during a wedding ceremony.

Color, style and ceremonial importance of the gown can depend on the religion and culture of the wedding participants.

In eastern cultures, brides often choose red to symbolize auspiciousness.

Shorts are a garment worn by both men and women over their pelvic area, circling the waist and splitting to cover the upper part of the legs, sometimes extending down to the knees but not covering the entire length of the leg.

They are called "shorts" because they are a shortened version of trousers, which cover the entire leg.

Shorts are typically worn in warm weather or in an environment where comfort and air flow are more important than the protection of the legs.

A gown, from medieval Latin gunna, is a usually loose outer garment from knee- to full-length worn by men and women in Europe from the early Middle Ages to the 17th century, and continuing today in certain professions; later, gown was applied to any full-length woman's garment consisting of a bodice and attached skirt.

A long, loosely fitted gown called a Banyan was worn by men in the 18th century as an informal coat.
