@clpeters1 There currently seems to be a bug that messes with work-outfits for sims. What your sim is wearing is indeed a costume that was recently added. The problem will very probably solve itself once your sim gets a promotion and the work-outfit is automatically replaced with the corresponding one for that career level. However, if you don't want to wait that long you can create your own work-outfit by selecting your active sim in live-mode and opening the cheat-console (press Ctrl + Shift + C), then enter the following:
testingcheats on
sims.modify_career_outfit_in_cas
This will lead you to a special CAS-screen where you can assign the current work-outfit for that sim. Make sure that you ONLY change that particular outfit and not any of the others!
Hope this helps!

@DMDragonCT Thank you so much! Good to know it wasn’t some random permanent thing. I didn’t know about modifying the work outfits either, so I will definitely be checking that out!

  @clpeters1 Glad to be of help. And yes, there definitely seems to be something off in the game concerning work-outfits. One of my sims in the business career just got assigned the politician's outfit upon being promoted. Something very weird going on. At least it wasn't a bigfoot constume...
  Better to keep that code close at hand, for it looks like it's going to be needed more often than not.

    It would have been kind of cool if they had used that costume for the Hermit in Granite Falls. Maybe I will give that a try using testingcheats and editing the Hermit in CAS 🥳
