traje

Es otra posibilidad. Aunque suena más formal, también es más específico que "conjunto" (al cual tienes que añadir "de ropa" para que se sepa de qué hablas).

un equipo / un conjunto de ropa

I would say "un equipo". "Un conjunto de ropa" is another possibility (I'm speaking only for Argentina, I don't know about other countries).

"De vestir" en la Arg. implica "elegante", "de noche", probably not the case here. But I'll bear it in mind... :-)
