DJ stands for dinner jacket, a formal menswear garment traditionally worn as part of black-tie attire. Tailors and rental shops use the abbreviation on tickets, order forms, and production schedules to distinguish it from lounge suits or morning coats. The jacket typically features satin or grosgrain facings on the lapels and is paired with matching trousers that have a single braid down the outseam.
