"Crossdressing" by fivehalves

Formerly known as the “Sunday Summer Substitute”, editor Cap'n Rick now takes the helm for 'Smooth Sailing Sundays'. As The Commodores sang about Sunday morning, the SSS will focus on easier metas. SSS will also support smaller grids and will mentor new constructors on request. Puzzles released each Sunday around 8am Eastern. Nudges released same day at Noon Eastern. New constructors are welcome.

Reveal time!

The answer is SELF!

There are eight entries in the grid that can also mean articles of clothing, even if they're not clued as clothing:
ACROSS
1: SUIT
25: TIE
45: BLAZER
51: LOAFERS

DOWN
1: SKIRT
15: MAKEUP
35: HEELS
52: FLATS

Each of those entries crosses another. If you collect the letters at the four intersections where two theme entries meet, you get SELF.
Jay, he/him
