How it's used
Refers specifically to a coordinated set of items, whether it is a formal business suit or a bundled collection of retail products. When used for clothing, it implies a matching top and bottom, distinguishing it from individual pieces. It is frequently used in commercial contexts to describe promotional bundles or gift sets.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe a single piece of clothing like a jacket or trousers, as it strictly implies a matching set. Learners sometimes confuse it with the general word for clothes, 衫, which does not carry the connotation of a coordinated ensemble.
