I believe the answer is:

tails

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'evening wear' is the definition.
'tails' can be an answer for 'wear' (tails is a kind of wear). I'm not sure about the 'evening' bit.

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tails that I've seen before include "Ends" , "Follows closely" , "Evening dress; coin toss call" , "as opposed to heads" , "the back of bears - bulls too" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
