English term

business suit

English to Arabic Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
Context: Someone was seen in the street wearing a business suit.

I am concerned here with the word "business".
If I say "سُترة أو بذلة عمل", this will confuse the reader.

Here is a definition by Meriam-Webster:
" a man's suit consisting of matching coat and trousers and sometimes a vest"

Your help is appreciated!

بذلة رجال أعمال

business suit means "businessman's suit."

Of course, these days, this is male-biased, so if the context is not male-specific, you can use بذلة ذوى الأعمال

بذلة رجال أعمال رسمية

Because it eliminates any other possible suit, such as athletic, wedding, dinner, etc. suits. It hits the nail right on the head.
