What is Tenue de Ville?

Post by elison00 »

hello
Tenue is a set of clothing, ensemble or outfit, and de ville is French for of the city. When combined, tenue de ville means dressy and usually business attire—those clothes you’d wear in a business setting. As translated by native speakers of French, the term can refer to any type of semi-dressy but not formal clothing. A sweater vest or slacks with a sports coat might make up part of tenue de ville, or a skirt and blouse worn by a woman.
thanks
