Said to someone wearing a new garment:

تُبْلِي وَيُخْلِفُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى

Tubli wayukhlifullahu ta'ala

May you wear it out, and may Allah the Exalted give you another in its place.

A prayer for long life: that the wearer may live long enough to wear the garment out.

الْبَسْ جَدِيدًا، وَعِشْ حَمِيدًا، وَمُتْ شَهِيدًا

Ilbas jadida, wa 'ish hamida, wa mut shahida

Wear what is new, live praiseworthy, and die a martyr.
