Trouble is Jock, that the words "formal" and "dress" have been coopted by those who have no idea of what they speak. The other day at the cleaners, my dark blue and black checked short sleeve shirt was called a "dress" shirt. Good grief! It's as casual as you can get, but she explained that to her that means that it had buttons and a collar.
I took a moment to educate her.
