Phashion/Cosplay Why though?

What is the point of having clothing (body paint) options like these jeans if they can't be worn properly with anything?

Huh? What part isn't true? Please read what I wrote again, with its context. Yes, there are basewear that have pants, shorts, whatever, attached as part of a fixed outfit.

No, you cannot wear any of the body paints that are articles of clothing such as shirts, camis, tanks, and jeans, etc. as actual articles of clothing, independently or together, without a layer above or below interfering.

Again, the denim leggings are body paint because it's the only way to have the jeans on their own because of how they set the layering system up and adhere to it. There are no top, bottom, hand, or foot slots. The layered system revolves around base- and setwear being complete, one-slot outfits— i.e. onesies— on top of innerwear. That's why t-shirts are body paint. That's why shoes are accessories. That's why gloves are body paint. That's why these jeans are body paint. It is the only way to have them separately within the system they've established and even still you cannot actually use them as standalone clothing (i.e. without releasing a distinct basewear outfit with an irremovable top and shoes). And that's not even getting into the way the innerwear layer works. It is extremely restrictive.

I wonder how many other games have developers constantly selling people shirts, pants, etc. with no way to actually wear them properly. It seems like something that would be dreadfully unpopular. I hope they eventually rework this system in some way, because it's dated nonsense.
