clown suit
Polka-dot ensemble
A clown suit is the colorful, oversized costume worn by circus clowns—typically featuring bright patterns, ruffles, and exaggerated proportions.
Figuratively, any garish or ridiculous outfit: You're not wearing that clown suit to the interview, are you?
The term can dismiss someone's appearance or, by extension, their credibility.
