COLLINS ENGLISH DICTIONARY
USAGE FOR Outside of
The use of outside of and inside of, although fairly common,
is generally thought to be incorrect ornon-standard:
she waits outside (not outside of) the school
Dictionary of Problem Words and Expression
Out of & outside of
As is pointed out in the inside entry,
not all double prepositions are incorrect:
one can walk out of a room, stroll up toa house, and go over to a nearby store.
However, “looking out of a window,”
“walking outside of an office,” and
“falling off of a stairway” are wordy, nonstandardphrases.
