Morphology
The phrase is compositionally transparent: 'hoochie' (a promiscuous/flashy person) modifies 'outfit', so the meaning 'provocative, revealing clothing' follows directly from the constituents. Although 'hoochie' is informal/slang, the noun+modifier pattern is regular and predictable, so a learner who knows both words can infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The phrase hoochie outfit comes from the old phrase hoochie coochie, the name for a sexy dance at fairs where dancers showed a lot of skin. So hoochie outfit paints a picture of a hoochie, a sexy performer, wearing an outfit made to get attention, which is why it means 'clothing that is revealing or meant to look sexy'.
