In the Name of Allah.
Bismi-llāh.
Anas b. Mālik (raḍiy Allāhu ʿanhu) narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “The screen between the jinn and the nakedness of the children of Ādam when they take off their garments is that they say [the above].” (Ṭabarānī in al-Muʿjam al-Awsaṭ 7066)
After Wearing Clothes
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْ كَسَانِيْ هٰذَا الثَّوْبَ ، وَرَزَقَنِيْهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِّنِّيْ وَلَا قُوَّةٍ.

All praise is for Allah who has clothed me with this garment and provided it for me, without any power or might from me.
Alḥamdu li-llāhi-l-ladhī kasānī hādha-th-thawb, wa razaqanīhi min ghayri ḥawli-m-minnī wa lā quwwah.
Muʿādh b. Anas (raḍiy Allāhu ʿanhu) narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever puts on a garment and says [the above], his past and future sins will be forgiven.” (Abū Dāwūd 4023)
When Wearing New Clothes
اَللّٰهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ كَسَوْتَنِيْهِ ، أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِهِ وَخَيْرِ مَا صُنِعَ لَهُ ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهِ وَشَرِّ مَا صُنِعَ لَهُ.

Allāhumma laka-l-ḥamdu Anta kasawtanīhi, as’aluka min khayrihī wa khayri mā ṣuniʿa lahu, wa aʿūdhu bika min sharrihī wa sharri mā ṣuniʿa lahu.
Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī (raḍiy Allāhu ʿanhu) reported that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wore a new garment he would name it: either a turban, a shirt, or a cloak; and then he would say [the above].
(Tirmidhī 1767)
