I don't understand the marketing direction they took for Moonlight Chic. I don't really get an evening wear vibe (or chic one) from most of these clothes. They look fine, and I like a few pieces, I just don't think most of the items match the theme very well. I mean shorts and cargo pants don't jump out to me as evening wear unless it's like a beach party, or backyard bbq..

I don't think there's a point in arguing about fashion much, as taste is very subjective and what is considered fashionable also has a lot to do with where you live. But cargo pants or pants with cargo elements like large pockets or military style belts are definitely something one wears on a night out where I live. I wouldn't describe it as evening wear though either, it's for clubbing or just going out for drinks. I thought some examples might help to picture what I mean.

I am actually more confused about the lack of shoes. There should have been at least one pair of heels in this kit.

Obviously fashion is somewhat subjective. And even in one area, there will be many factors which dictate what a person wears where and when..
Also in the fashion industry, they can, and do find a way to make anything look chic.. Whatever makes it sell. I guess I meant on a broader scale.. If I went out on a given evening, I wouldn't expect to see a lot of women in heels and cargo pants. Not that I don't think it is a cute look. It just isn't what my mind conjures up as something for a night out.. Even in those pictures, I think the outfits are cute, but also casual, and great for an afternoon, or early drinks perhaps.. I dunno..

Like I said, it just wasn't what I had pictured to be coming.

I have often wondered if the reason why one might feel like that (because I often feel that way) is because of the art style of the sims 4. It's a bit more cartoony and therefore you expect things to be a little more expressive, because that's how it is in cartoons.

And there is not enough detail to see the difference (especially in that low quality picture) between a pair of cargo pants that you use when going out hiking and a pair of cargo pants that you use to go to a night club.

On the picture of the real people, you see the difference. In The Sims 4, when your sim is standing on an empty background, and with that cartoony art style, it's more difficult to get clothes like that to look unique.

It's true that the art style of the game limits how things can look (compared to real-life counterparts). In the case of clothing, I personally notice the way the fabric hangs on a body, and in the game it just sort of... sits there like a clothing-shaped mold.
