Maybe looking at customs will help:

In the East lots of clothes was/is considered wealth just like silver and 
gold. Monarchs and kings would hold banquets and give of their clothes to 
those who didn't have any appropriate apparel. It was a mark of distinction 
to wear the clothes of the king--from his own wardrobe. There are many 
examples of this view of clothing in scripture. So, if you're at the wedding 
feast, you'll have your garment provided from the Lord's wardrobe as we 
have nothing suitable. Whether one is more ornate than the other, though, 
is debatable.
