Formal wear [reifuku]

Clothing worn for ceremonial occasions and other ceremonies. The Taiho Code stipulated the rules for formal attire, morning attire, and uniforms, with formal attire being considered the highest form of attire, but in the Heian period, it was replaced by sokutai, which developed from morning attire, and women wore junihitoe. As time went on, formal attire also included ikkan, noshi, kariginu, hitatare, omon, and suou, while in the Edo period, kamishimo and women wore uchikake. After the Meiji period, Western clothing was adopted, and today, men wear montsuki, haori, and hakama for Japanese clothing, and swallowtail coats, morning coats, and tuxedos for Western clothing, while women wear tomesode, furisode, and houmongi for Japanese clothing, and evening dresses, dinner dresses, cocktail dresses, and afternoon dresses for Western clothing.
