outer
As an adjective, it describes the physical boundary or perimeter of an object. It implies a layer that protects or encapsulates something inner. While 'external' is more clinical or technical, 'outer' often suggests a concentric relationship (like layers of an onion). As a noun, it is a specialized term for outerwear. This usage is more common in specific professional contexts—such as theater, galleries, or high-end hospitality—where guests are asked to remove their heavy coats.
Used specifically when referring to individual pieces of outerwear, such as a single coat or jacket.
