Example:
I wonder if his [...] has something to do with his craziness.
The only word I could think of was attire. But I think attire only refers to what the person is wearing now; not to the way he or she usually dresses.

2Way of dressing is fine, as are wardrobe and attire (the statement can refer to his attire generally; it does not necessarily mean what he is wearing now).– DrewOct 6, 2014 at 4:14

@Raestloz Fashion is not the same as style :-)– user63230Oct 6, 2014 at 6:01

@andy256 exactly. Fashion is specifically for... uh, well, fashion: the way of dressing, while style is much more general– RaestlozOct 6, 2014 at 6:24

... a form of appearance, design, ... elegance or refinement of manners, dress, etc.
While usually positive, it can also be applied in a negative sense, as in
I don't like his style. He looks like a banana.
Another phrase would be dress sense.
Look can refer to a fashionable or specific way of dressing :
(Clothing & Fashion) style; fashion: the new look for summer, his new look is quite unusual.
A distinctive, unified manner of dress or fashion: the preferred look for this fall.

aesthetic could be used here.
Example: Her particular aesthetic is more suited to the Goth scene. Or you could use the word aesthetic to further modify fashion, as in "fashion aesthetic."
