Outerwear refers to clothing worn outdoors or in cool weather conditions. It includes various items such as Chore jackets, coats, overcoats, windbreakers, and raincoats. Outerwear is typically designed to retain body heat, protect against the elements like rain, snow, and wind, and provide comfort. Styles, materials, and features vary greatly, from lightweight fleece jackets for mild chills, to heavy-duty parkas for extreme cold climates. Some outerwear like trench coats and leather jackets also serve a significant fashion purpose beyond just utility.
