'one's apparel' is the definition.
'garb' can be an answer for 'apparel' (garb is a kind of apparel). I'm not sure about the 'one's' bit.

'boast about' is the wordplay.
'boast' becomes 'brag' (synonyms).
'about' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'brag' in reverse letter order is 'GARB'.

(Other definitions for garb that I've seen before include "Kit" , "Dress - clothing" , "Covering" , "gear discovered" , "Clothe" .)
