Formal wear in front section — a draw (3,3)
I believe the answer is:
bow tie
'formal wear' is the definition.
(formal item of clothing)
'front section a draw' is the wordplay.
'front section' becomes 'bow' (front of a boat).
'a draw' becomes 'tie' ('tie' can be a synonym of 'draw').
'bow'+'tie'='BOW TIE'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for bow tie that I've seen before include "CLOTHING" , "accompaniment for DJ" , "Male neckwear worn with evening dress" , "One may be seen with DJ" , "Item of formal wear" .)
