Morning dressMorning dress, also known as formal day dress, is the formal Western dress code for day attire, consisting chiefly of, for men, a morning coat, waistcoat, and formal trousers, and an appropriate gown for women. Men may also wear a popular variant where all parts (morning coat, waistcoat and trousers) are the same colour and material, often grey and usually called "morning suit" or "morning grey" to distinguish it; considered properly appropriate only to festive functions such as summer weddings and horse races, which consequently makes it slightly less formal.
Casual wearCasual wear (or casual attire or clothing) is a Western dress code that is relaxed, occasional, spontaneous and suited for everyday use. Casual wear became popular in the Western world following the counterculture of the 1960s. When emphasising casual wear's comfort, it may be referred to as leisurewear or loungewear. While casual is "informal" in the sense of "not formal", informal wear traditionally refers to a Western dress code associated with suits—a step below semi-formal wear—thus being more formal than casual attire.

Haut-de-formeUn haut-de-forme (ou haute forme) est un chapeau à calotte haute et cylindrique qui se porte généralement avec la redingote ou l'habit. Le haut-de-forme passe, dans les années 1810, d'une simple nouveauté de la mode à un symbole de la condition sociale de l'homme bourgeois du . En raison de sa hauteur et de son allure imposante, il confère une certaine élégance à l'homme, qu'il fait paraître plus grand. Le haut-de-forme en vient à symboliser la respectabilité, la richesse, la dignité et un rang social élevé.

Mess dress uniformMess dress uniform is the most formal (or semi-formal, depending on the country) type of evening-wear uniform used by military personnel, police personnel, and other uniformed services members. It frequently consists of a mess jacket, trousers, white dress shirt and a black bow tie, along with orders and medals insignia. Design may depend on regiment or service branch, e.g. army, navy, air force, marines, etc. In modern Western dress codes, mess dress uniform is the supplementary alternative equivalent to the civilian black tie for evening wear.
Full dress uniformFull dress uniform, also known as a ceremonial dress uniform or parade dress uniform, is the most formal type of uniforms used by military, police, fire and other public uniformed services for official parades, ceremonies, and receptions, including private ones such as marriages and funerals. Full dress uniforms typically include full-size orders and medals insignia. Styles tend to trace back to uniforms used during the 19th century, although the 20th century saw the adoption of mess dress-styled full-dress uniforms.
Couvre-chefvignette|Une très grande variété de coiffes a caractérisé les civilisations passées, sur tous les continents, ici chez des tisseuses de tapis à Gyantsé, au Tibet en 1938. Le couvre-chef est un accessoire de mode qui se porte sur la tête. Le mot chef ici a le sens de tête (du latin caput signifiant tête ou chef). Il existe deux types principaux de couvre-chefs : avec ou sans bord. Pour chaque type, on distingue deux formes : le bonnet de forme arrondie qui épouse la forme du dessus du crâne ; le chapeau de forme cylindrique qui se pose sur la tête.
