I am pretty sure there has to be some sort of idiom that means that since trying clothes to see if they fit is something that's done by everyone in their lives. Is there any such expression?

It fits like a glove.
It's tailor made. [Often said of things which are not literally tailor made, but fit very well.]
It's made to measure. [Likewise, often used metaphorically of things which are not made to measure.]
The three idioms above seem to come close to what you want to say.

Here are a few Examples that may be "Similar" to what you mean, you could always create your own Idiom, but it wouldn't be well Known.
"Old Hat"
Something is an old hat if it is not new and has been used for a long time. Example:
I’ve been using my red wallet for many years now. It is an old hat and a lucky one at that.
Like with this sentence, you could say... Getting rid of the Old Hat. Meaning your Getting rid of old things/clothes specifically, and possibly finding new ones.
"Get All Dolled Up"
Get all dolled up means to get fashionably dressed. Example: Many women love to get all dolled up for Friday night parties.
This may not be exactly Relative to your request, but it does represent trying on new cloths. For Example, you could say... I'm heading to the Tailor to "Get All Dolled Up".
Therefore with those two examples, you could put them together to create something along the lines of...
Im heading to the Tailor to get all Dolled Up, then I shall head home to get rid of the old hat of clothes!

"Getting rid of the old hat" is not an idiom I have ever heard. Do you mean [something] is old hat"? That means "[something] is old fashioned/out of date." "Old hat" is an adjective, not a noun.
