Another might be like my case, if your choosen type of plainwear, in this case bike shorts, isn't suitable for conditions, like working in a lumber mill or similer factory, and you don a less desirable type of plainwear over it, like denim jeans, is the layer of plainwear mandated by conditions considered outerwear while the more desirable plainwear under remains plainwear or how would this work?
