Definition
In modern Chinese, 装束 is a noun meaning 'attire, outfit, or dress' — the way a person is dressed from head to toe. The gloss also gives verbal senses like 'pack up' and 'get ready for travel,' but those are archaic or literary; you're unlikely to hear 装束 as a verb in everyday conversation. Use it to comment on someone's overall clothing style or uniform rather than individual garments.
