What do you call the kind of attire the male reporters and anchors on TV wear?

Suits.

It’s business attire, or “business professional”. (as opposed to “business casual”)

“Formal” is another step up, when you break out the fancies.

Waist up suit and tie. Nobody cares about what they got on below the visible level of desk.

What was this fragment about: “No one talks about the way they are dressed invites bad behaviour”
?

I think they’re too gussied up. A sports shirt would make them much more human and much less like Ken dolls.

The attire on both looks fine.

@elbanditoroso I don’t know if they are gussied up, they’re just regular to me. I don’t picture Ken dolls in suits, it’s a rare to me. Maybe it’s because I don’t follow it.
