A word for clothes, shoes, accessories?
Solution 1:
These all fall under the category of apparel, attire, or simply clothing.
Solution 2:
I used to own a clothing store which carried all of the items listed in your question: The following descriptive terms, not already mentioned, are appropiate:
- Threads
- Wearables
- Wears or Wear: mentioned above but can be prefixed by specific category: Mens, Womens, Kids, Sports, Night, Day, ie. Menswear or used more generally like:
- Outerwear
- Textiles
- Garments
Also appropiate:
- Couture
Although originally associated with custom or expensive fashion, it has become a more generalized term.
Origin:
French in origin, from Old French cousture sewing, from Vulgar Latin consutura, from Latin consutus, past participle of consuere to sew together, from com- + suere to sew —

Solution 3:
Clothing is quite adequate. For alternatives that are standard and fun, though maybe pretentious, consider:
- Garb. Has connotations of a particularly stylized sort of clothing, but may be used to describe any clothing from "monkish garb" to "kids in combat garb". Similar to gear, but more general.
- Furnishings. It includes any article of dress, be it clothing, footwear, haberdashery or accessories. I recall it most commonly used in context as "men's furnishings" but not exclusively.
- Accoutrement or accoutrements. Plural is better. While seemingly French, it is accepted English language usage, see here.
- Trappings. Refers to any sort of clothing and equipment combination whether a costume or military outfit. Includes clothes, footware, jewelry, insignia, sashes, scarves and hosiery.
Solution 4:
I've heard the term rig. It encompasses a person's whole look from head to toe. Sometimes a person's rig can determine their place on the social food chain.
