You cannot remove those weird outfits unfortunately, they are called "situational outfits" there are mods that remove them however, like MC Command Center.
I do wonder if the situational outfits are really working as intended though because a lot of items seems to be included in these outfits which seem to have little or nothing to do with the actual situation. The clothing generator have always worked badly but here it seems to be straight up broken.

right, i meant 'have them stop wearing it'... also, if the other person who posted had found the outfit in CAS theirs might have been a separate issue easily solved that way. so worth checking.
and, since this has been going on forever. i'd be interested in a list of all the situations that cause these outfits to appear. why some characters won't always have them and suddenly gain one. there has to be some logic behind this. :P
i would agree with you that some accessories included have little to do with the situation.... but i just can never tell what the situation is. the affected Sims will be simply walking by, or often outside their house if you have just rotated houses and returned to play them.

The list is pretty long now, because Maxis keep adding situational outfits... one reason why the outfits look so bad are the random hats and accessories that the clothing generator seems to include with them and they can get stuck and get generated on other outfits, like the towel outfit.
- Fake Vampires - Sims who walk on the streets at night pretending to be vampires.
- Festival Outfits - different outfits for the City Living festivals
- Rain Outfits - This is the one I suspect people have posted about recently, it's an outfit that is supposed to look like something that sims are wearing when it is raining, but the items included are things like the ski glasses and the hijab, it's also common that the outfit stays on after, even when it is not raining.
- Celebrity Outfits - Outfits sims are wearing in some neighborhoods in Del Sol Valley, this one feels completely broken because the outfits they wear are completely random.
- Realm of Magic outfits - Outfits sims are wearing in the magic realm, seems also pretty broken and sims also seem to get random hats and accessories.
- Island Living outfits - Outfits sims are wearing during Island Living festivals, I noticed this one often seem to get random accessories a lot.
- Discover University outfits - outfits sims are wearing when organizations are gathering, they seem to work pretty ok, they don't look too bad. The hats can get stuck though and end up on other situational outfits, like the Foxbury Crab hat.
There are also some cases where sims will wear random outfits because they are supposed to fill certain NPC roles, like during Seasons or if they are supposed to be a tourist in city living for example.

thank you. i did a bad job of writing my post.
as someone who owns no EPs (i only own Dine Out and a few SPs) i keep wondering what situations can apply to a game that has no supernaturals, no seasons, no festivals, no tourists, no celebrities, no students, etc. 😞
- @unseenlarks Yup. The outfits are nowhere to be found in CAS. Just need to change outfit to an existing one and it's "done" - for a while.

@adduapina--"for a while" being the key phrase. 😉 saw one of my played but (at the time) not active Sims today, grilling some food... with a random outfit on, plus hat and glasses.
- @unseenlarks It's a minor inconvenience but still annoys me to see my rich, posh lawyer hanging around in ski glasses in the hoods 😛 Breaks the illusion in my world.
- unseenlarks5 years agoSeasoned Ace@adduapina--i laughed at that... but seriously, i understand, this is exactly why it bothers me. yes, i also know/agree this might not be as serious as other issues, but it breaks immersion proper. ☹️
one of my characters is supposed to be blind. definitely does not need reading glasses. that's just one example.
does the game *have* to read my mind? no, of course not. but also, why generate this unnecessary outfit when she is just walking down the street? :/
