Formal wear is a piece of clothing in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics[]

When equipped, the outfit does not grant any Damage Threshold and has no additional effects. It can be repaired with other instances of itself and, with the Jury Rigging perk, both light armor and other pieces in the "clothing" category.

The outfit is identical to the White Glove Society attire and is one of several where its appearance differs depending on the wearer's gender: the male version consists of a black tailcoat over a white two-piece dress shirt, paired with black dress pants held up by a belt and black dress shoes (both caked in dust and dirt near the bottom). The female version consists of a long floral print dress with a singular right-shoulder strap and a black waist loop, paired with black high heels.

Locations[]

Due to its high-society design, the formal wear is largely found in areas occupied by members of the White Glove Society, namely the Ultra-Luxe casino on the New Vegas Strip:

  • Worn by Chauncey. It can be looted from him after he is killed by an assassin in the bathhouse during the investigation path of Beyond the Beef.
  • Worn by Mortimer. It can either be reverse-pickpocketed or looted from him after he is killed either independently or during the investigation path of Beyond the Beef.
  • Marjorie will gift a set of formal wear after successfully gaining her White Glove sponsorship during the investigation path of Beyond the Beef.
  • Worn by the pair of White Gloves found in the Gourmand's kitchen roasting brahmin with flamers.

Related quests[]

  • You Make Me Feel Like a Woman - Recruiting Veronica as a companion unlocks a dialogue option to ask about her personal goals, and she reveals her desire to find a pretty dress. The formal wear is considered one of two outfits (along with the White Glove Society attire) that she will accept for which she will reward the Unarmed technique Scribe Counter.

Notes[]

The presence of a belt on the pants of the male version indicates that they are mismatched to the tailcoat, as traditional tailcoat pants are held up by suspenders and lack belt loops.
