Well, Hamlet's male, so the fact that he's wearing a dress at all might be some cause for concern.

Actually, "dress" in this case just means "clothing", and what bugs them about it is that Hamlet's wearing black, the color of mourning. Which really is fair enough, because his father died, but his mother (Gertrude) has since remarried (to Claudius, Hamlet's father's brother); the two of them want people to focus on the new king (Claudius) and forget about the dead one (Hamlet's dad), and Hamlet is dressed all in black moping about, serving as a reminder.
