Putting on an Armor of Smoldering, then a another piece of armor with a lower AC (Such as Pride Silk), the system thinks only pride silk is being worn.
Also, proficiency with light armor does not extend to Pride Silk Outfits, even though they are also classified as light armor.
I have heard a suggestion that a workaround, for pride silk is manually adding proficiency for pride silk.
This is because Pride Silk is technically not armor, but DDB had no way of programing non armor things that take up the armor slot. So they had to classify it for their system.
It was the first non armor thing that gave an AC calculation so sort of you know not prepared for this type of thing.
I wonder why DDB defined it as armor, then, if it's effectively clothing like fine clothes and such (which are defined as adventuring gear.)
I'm guessing the system isn't currently set up for Gear to provide AC calculations, just Armor.
A homebrew workaround would be to make a wondrous item like Clothes of Mending with modifier Bonus->Unarmored Armor Class->1, under the assumption that a monk or barbarian should be able to wear Pride Silk to get +1 to their unarmored AC.

As explained, the system was not designed to allow non-Armor equipment to grant an AC calculation so for system purposes it had to be classified as an armour even though its not actually armour. The system is also not designed for armour that doesn't require proficiency.
On your character sheet under proficiencies click the gear icon and from there you can manually add "Pride Silk Outfit" proficiency. This will let you find it, add it to your character and 'equip' it like normal light armour.
Also note: Pride Silk Outfit should not be compatible with Monk/Barb unarmoured AC. It's an AC Calculation (11 + Dex) and follows the rules of such, meaning you would choose either the Pride Silk Outfit's AC Calc or your Monk/Barb unarmoured Calc - you can't have both.
Pride Silk Outfit is identical to leather armour except (outside of D&D Beyond coding issues) a character does not need armour proficiency to benefit from it.
