overgarment
Worn atop clothes
An overgarment is any garment worn over other clothing—a coat, jacket, cloak, or similar outer layer.
The term is practical rather than fashionable, appearing in clothing regulations, laundry instructions, or technical contexts: Remove overgarments before entering the clean room.
