Use of 'dress' for men
Hi
Long ago, I was told by a native speaker of English that the word dress is used for women mostly. But I often come across sentences like these:
(Are these sentences natural?)
- From his dress, one could tell that...
- We all knew that he had no dress sense.
- We could judge from his dress that he was a rich man.
- His dress is always very formal.
Thanks,
Tom

Mr. Tom mostly If you look the word up, you will see that it is a way of saying "clothing", "garb" or "attire" applied to either ***. But applied to women, it can easily be confused with the garment, so I would say the opposite, that it is mostly applied to men.
