English term or phrase: Sunday clothes
The character is talking about his father who used to go to church every Sunday morning in his SUNDAY CLOTHES.

what is the best semantically, culturally and pragmatically appropriate choice which preserve the fluency of reading. I mean a choice which does not stand out, do not strike the reader`s attention to translated nature of text. In other words, the harmony of tone in text is ensured.

Regards.

agree  Farzad Akmali: Good as "church" is included! Two years ago in one of my classes I offered آدین جامه for the term in question, but I think it's not much of an approximation, or if it is, it needs an explanation or a footnote!

sunday clothes
لباس عید پاک، لباس عید، لباس یکشنبه، لباس کلیسا


Explanation:
as defined by Oxford Talking Dictionary Sunday or Easter Dayis: (also Easter Day or Sunday) the festival of the Resurrection of Christ, the greatest and oldest festival of the Christian Church, celebrated in the Western Church on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the northern vernal equinox (21 Mar.). as the definitions says sunday is the same as Easter day and I suggest لباس عید پاک or لباس یکشنبه. we have عید پاک a well-known equivalent, conveying the proper equivalent and at the same time the cultural colour. preserving the cultural colour as well as conveying the proper meaning is very important in the process of translation, specially in this kind.so these important elements should not be sacrificed for the sake of deforeignization.

--------------------------------------------------

as suggested لباس های پلو خوری and لباس های شیک و پیک, these are possible but لباس های یکشنبه or لباس های شیک یکشنبه is a recognized translation which has more frequency of use and as I mentioned before preserves یکشنبه while conveying the idea that it is an important day in christianity.
