How to use outfit in a sentence?
Like for example:
I need to buy a sports outfit
is correct?
If I want to make it plural,
I need to buy some sports outfits
can be used?

1Have you looked it up in a dictionary? I'm not sure why you think it may be incorrect. – Damkerng T. May 25 '16 at 10:40

Because all the examples in the dictionary, had no article before, like for example "This outfit is perfect" – Magnetic_dud May 25 '16 at 10:55

Then you need to check more than one dictionary, or maybe look it up on the internet, because I found multiple dictionaries that give examples or explain that outfit is a countable noun. – stangdon May 25 '16 at 13:03

An outfit is a set containing one or more items of clothes that is for a single person to wear. An outfit can have 1 item, such as a dress, or multiple items, such as shoulder pads, helmet, etc. Even if it has multiple items, we care about the set of items as a single unit, so we use the singular unless we mean multiple sets.
Put a simpler way: You'd buy multiple outfits if you had multiple people each needing to wear them. If just one person, then say outfit.

Well, you could have multiple outfits for one person. Like you could say "I have 3 outfits: this one is for Monday, this one for Tuesday, and this one for Wednesday". But basically, yes, agree. – Jay May 25 '16 at 16:54
