garbed
Wearing an outfit
Garbed means clothed or dressed, typically in distinctive or notable attire: knights garbed in armor, mourners garbed in black.
The word is literary and slightly formal—you wouldn't say someone is garbed in jeans.
It draws attention to what someone is wearing as deliberate or significant.
