Simple Sunnah: New clothes
سم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri (ra) said,
“When the Prophet (pbuh) put on a new garment, he would in happiness mention that garment’s name. For example, ‘Allah Ta’aala gave me this qamis [shirt], ‘amaamah (turban), sheet, etc” Then recited this du’aa:
اللهم لك الحمد انت كسوتنيه اسالك من خير ه وخير ما صنع له واعوذ بك من شره وشر ما صنع له
‘Allahumma lakal hamdu anta kasauw- tanihi, as-aluka khayrahu wa-khayra ma-suni’a lahu wa-a’u- dhu bika min sharrihi wa-sharri ma-suni’a lahu‘.
Translation:
“Oh Allah, all praise and thanks to You for clothing me with this (garment). I ask You for the good of it and the good of what it was made for, and I ask Your protection from the evil of it and the evil of what it was made for.” [Tirmidhi]

This du’a teaches us to be grateful for the new clothes that we get, and not to use them in a way contrary to Islam; such as for arrogance, ostentation or getting attention.
