habiliments

One's official garb

Habiliments are clothing or attire, especially the distinctive dress associated with a particular occupation, rank, or occasion: the habiliments of a priest, the habiliments of war.

The word is formal and literary, rarely encountered outside historical or ceremonial contexts.

It carries a sense of costume or regalia rather than everyday clothes.
