outward decoration or dress: ornamental equipment

trapping
1 : CAPARISON 1 — usually used in plural
2 plural : outward decoration or dress : ornamental equipment
3 plural : outward signs <conventional men with all the trappings...of banality — Robert Plank>
[M-W's Col. Dic.]

Is outward associated only with decoration or with both decoration and dress? If it's associated with both, then it can be read: outward decoration or outward dress. I wonder is there also some inward dress?
