The outer reinforcement has a plate-thickness gradual change region where a thickness of the outer reinforcement gradually changes in the front-rear direction of the vehicle such that a thickness of the flange portion becomes equal to or less than a thickness of the thick-plate region between a thick-plate region where a thickness of the outer portion is more than a predetermined thickness and the flange portion.
