Decorations
The best answer is "decorations". The word "regalia" usually refers to royal possesions which are very decorative. They can include ceremonial clothes, designs, or emblems. "Clothes" simply refers to garments or apparel. The defining characteristic of regalia is that is is very decorative, and the word clothes does not imply this meaning. The word "regions" is unrelated, and the remaining words, "fancy" and "royalty," are words one might use when talking about "regalia," but are not "regalia" themselves.
