The word for today is…

sartorial (adjective):

: of or relating to a tailor or tailored clothes  
broadly : of or relating to clothes

Source : [Merriam -Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sartorial?ref=goodoil.news)

Etymology : It’s easy to uncover the root of sartorial. Just strip off the suffix -ial and you discover the Latin noun sartor, meaning “tailor” (literally, “one who patches or mends”). Sartorial splendor has been the stuff of voguish magazines for years, and even sartor itself has occasionally proven fashionable, as it did in 1843, when Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote of “coats whose memory turns the sartor pale,” or in the 1870 title The Sartor, or British journal of cutting, clothing, and fashion. Sartorial has been in style with English speakers since at least 1823.
