الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي كَسَانِي هَذَا الثَّوْبَ وَرَزَقَنِيهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِنِّي وَلَا قُوَّةٍ

Source & Authentication
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: When you wear a new garment, praise Allah, thank Him, and then say: 'Glory be to Allah, I seek refuge in Allah from the evil of this garment and the evil of what it was made for.' Then praise Allah and thank Him, and then say: 'All praise is due to Allah Who has clothed me with this (garment) and provided it for me, though I had no power nor strength (myself).' (Sunan Abi Dawud 4023, graded Hasan by some scholars; also found in Sunan At-Tirmidhi 1767, graded Hasan Gharib). *Note: While the longer version includes seeking refuge, the core gratitude part is emphasized here as specifically for 'wearing' the clothes. The essence remains acknowledging Allah's provision.
