suited up
Ready for action
Suited up means dressed in special clothing for a particular activity or occasion.
Athletes suit up before games, astronauts suit up before spacewalks, and executives suit up in business attire before important meetings.
The phrase emphasizes preparation and readiness: The team suited up in the locker room.
