Apparel is an old word for clothes. The line appears in the Christmas Carol, "Deck the halls with boughs of holly", and goes "Don we now our gay apparel, fa la la la la la la la la."

Don means put on, so it means "Put on your gay clothes."

In those days the word gay meant bright and cheerful.

Now it means bright and cheerful and homosexual.
