Lined garment
colloquialclothing
How it's used
Refers specifically to a garment with an inner lining, distinguishing it from a single layer or a padded jacket. While once common for seasonal clothing, it is now a somewhat literary or traditional term that is rarely used in modern casual conversation to describe everyday store-bought clothes.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with general terms for jackets like 外套. Using it for a modern synthetic windbreaker or a heavy down jacket will sound unnatural as it implies a traditional construction with a distinct lining layer.
