Morphology
ethnicky + outfit
Although 'ethnicky' is non-standard, it is transparently derived from 'ethnic' (relating to a cultural or ethnic group) with a productive adjectival form combined with 'outfit' (a clothing ensemble). The phrase therefore composes directly to mean clothing that reflects a particular cultural/ethnic background, a pattern that is cross-linguistically common and easily inferable by a B1 learner who knows the constituents.
Etymology
Ethnicky outfit comes from people wearing special clothes to show their culture, like a bright dress, patterned coat or a special hat passed down in families. Here ethnicky points to a person's cultural origin and outfit means clothes. So, ethnicky outfit means 'a set of clothes that shows a particular culture'.
