formal attire required
A policy requiring highly formal clothing from people entering an area, according to the applicable dress expectations.
A requirement for formal attire indicates that all persons entering an area must be dressed in highly formal clothing. The exact prescriptions for formal clothing vary by culture and by gender, but normally indicate clothing of dignity or elegance which conforms to cultural expectations. For men this may indicate suits or tuxedos; for women it may indicate elegant dresses.
The requirement concerns the overall formality of the clothing. The specific garments can vary with the dress expectations stated for the setting.
Shirts required and shoes required concern particular articles of clothing. Meeting either of those requirements alone does not establish highly formal attire.
