Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'Muslim' (pertaining to Islam) modifies 'attire' (clothing), so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to clothing associated with Muslims. This adjective+noun pattern is cross-linguistically common, making the phrase easily understandable to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Muslim attire comes from the simple picture of clothes that show someone is Muslim: the word Muslim (a follower of Islam) plus attire (clothes). These can be items like a hijab, abaya, or kufi, so the phrase means 'clothing that reflects faith or culture'.
