There are three categories of clothing: outerwear, underwear and just plain wear.

Outerwear is designed to be worn outside of your just plain wear. The category of outerwear includes coats, jackets, coveralls and snowpants. If you wear outerwear with nothing underneath it does not make the outerwear just plain wear, but it does make you a pervert.

Underwear is designed to be worn under your just plain wear. That's why they call it underwear. The category of underwear includes boxers, briefs, undershirts, bras and panties. Wearing underwear over your just plain wear does not make it outerwear, but it does make you Superman. Wearing underwear with nothing over it does not make it just plain wear, but it does make you Madonna. Wearing underwear under your bike shorts makes you saddle sore and stupid.

The category of just plain wear includes shirts, pants, kilts, skirts, dresses, bike shorts and jerseys. Of these, kilts and bicycle shorts are designed to be worn without underwear. No one cares much what you wear under the others.

Making difficult concepts clear
A truly wonderful definition! I vote that this post becomes a sticky, and that eventually it be submitted as an addendum to wiki_underwear.
