@abigpony Basically, some cosplayers pride themselves on outlandish, spectacular costumes. Plain clothes cosplay is essentially wearing costumes that can be recognized as a character, but at the same time not attracting any strange looks from passers-by. For example, Scott Pilgrim. His clothes are pretty distinct, but they won't get you funny looks if you wear them on the street.
