attire
What you're wearing
Attire is clothing, especially when considered as a whole outfit or style of dress: formal attire, business attire, wedding attire.
The word sounds slightly elevated compared to clothes or outfit, appearing often on invitations and dress codes.
As a verb, to attire oneself is to dress: She was attired in silk.
