raiment
What one wears
Raiment is a literary or archaic word for clothing, especially fine or elaborate garments: clad in royal raiment.
The word appears almost exclusively in poetry, scripture, and deliberately elevated prose.
In modern contexts it often carries ironic or humorous overtones, signaling that the speaker knows they're being fancy.
