phrases - Meaning of "dress style"

The confusion here arises from two meanings of the noun "dress".



1 : apparel, clothing
2 : an outer garment (as for a woman or girl) usually consisting of a one-piece bodice and skirt



In this particular use of the phrase "dress style", they are using the first definition -- a general purpose word for your choice of clothing.



"A dress" always refers to the women's item of clothing.
