الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي كَسَانِي هَذَا الثَّوْبَ وَرَزَقَنِيهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِنِّي وَلَا قُوَّةٍ
All praise is due to Allah, Who has clothed me with this (garment) and provided it for me, without any strength or power from my side.

Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to put on a new garment, he would mention its name (e.g. a shirt or a cloak) and say: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي كَسَانِي هَذَا الثَّوْبَ وَرَزَقَنِيهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِنِّي وَلَا قُوَّةٍ (Alhamdulillah alladhi kasani hadha ath-thawba wa razaqanihi min ghayri hawlin minni wa la quwwah). (Sunan Abi Dawud 4023, Graded Hasan by some scholars). Tirmidhi also narrated a similar hadith: When the Prophet ﷺ wore a new shirt, he would say: 'O Allah, to You be praise, You have clothed me. I ask You for its good and the good of what it was made for, and I seek refuge in You from its evil and the evil of what it was made for.' Then when he took it off, he would say: 'O Allah, to You be praise.' (Sunan At-Tirmidhi 1767, Graded Sahih). The first version is more commonly cited specifically for putting on clothes.
