Western dress codesWestern dress codes are a set of dress codes detailing what clothes are worn for what occasion that originated in the Western world, particularly Western Europe and the United States, in the 19th century and which are rooted in Western culture. These codes have since been adapted to local contexts in non-Western cultures but are no longer considered Western there as a result.
