In the context of weddings it means suits and ties, but they aren't "formal".

Added another definition as the current definitions listed as misleading when it comes to 平服 usage in wedding ceremony. If you google 平服 you will see pictures of suits and ties. The English phrase (plain clothes) carries very different meaning.
