Dinner dress generally refers to a type of formal attire that is worn specifically for evening events or occasions, such as dinners or formal social gatherings. It typically includes more intricate and elegant clothing options than casual or everyday attire, often incorporating formal dresses or gowns for women and suits or tuxedos for men. Dinner dress is usually characterized by its sophisticated design, higher level of formality, and adherence to certain dress codes or etiquette guidelines.

A dinner dress is a gown that was worn by ladies in the Victorian era for dinners and parties at homes. It could be very elaborate, but often had long sleeves, a high neck, or a narrow skirt to set them apart from evening gowns. In the 20th century however, dinner dresses went out of fashion and were replaced by evening gowns for formal dinners.

A cocktail dress is a dress suitable at semi-formal occasions, sometimes called cocktail parties, usually in the late afternoon, and usually with accessories.
After World War I, the idea of the working woman became popular. After 1929, it was more common to see women in a social context. With the help of liberation organizations, the idea of a modern woman began to rise, and soon the drinking woman could be seen in business settings. Companies increasingly hosted cocktail parties to have an entertaining environment for employees and customers to mingle. These parties usually began after 5:00 P.M. Since guests are expected to walk around and meet people, clothes made for these occasions are often functional and comfortable. This practical and fashionable garment became a popular uniform for progressive elite women in the 1920s.
