Definition
衣裤 literally means "upper garment and trousers" and refers to a set of clothing, often in a traditional or formal style. In modern Mandarin, this compound is rare — the usual word for "clothes" is 衣服 (yīfu) and for "pants" is 裤子 (kùzi). It appears mainly in literary or descriptive contexts.
