Getting back to what the OP actually asked in the first place - a "singlet top" would be acceptable in many places that have dress codes. A "singlet top" can be considered very dressy, depending on the particular garment in question.
It doesn't mean the same as "singlet" - such as those with bintang and other logos on them - and which seems to be the definition you've run away with here.
