comfortable everyday tracksuits
With advanced AP technology clothing can become much more comfortable. First and foremost thermal regulation becomes a thing one just don't have to care about anymore (except in very hot and dark climates) .... One can keep the same clothes independent of the whether.
With more advanced metamaterials which can emulate elasticity and actively change surface area (not shape - that is no utility fog is meant here) clothing can be made sloppy or skin tight or both on different body parts. Remote sensing for telepresence can become possible too. A simple lightweight hood with transparent visor that behaves like textile when unused and self stiffens when employed can be used to protect the face.

Temperature regulation
A normally thin skin covering material can blow up a tiny bit in volume and rise it's thermal isolation to levels that suffice for every possible climate one can encounter on earth including -90°C and extreme winds on the polar caps.
Additionally one can use a heat harvesting trick similar to the one penguins use.
Turning the sun facing area black (in the visible spectrum that lies way above thermal equilibrium) and the area in the shadow white
this maximizes optical absorption while minimizing thermal emission.
(see Kirchhoff's law of thermal radiation,
Stefan–Boltzmann law,
emissivity and absorptivity)
In hot climate the solar energy can directly be used for cooling with e.g. diamondoid heat pump systems.
advanced protection suits
Suits for extreme oxygen deprived or lacking environments like space and deep-sea
Life support systems add significant volume and mass. This won't make them exorbitant more expensive than simple AP tracksuits. Only patents may do so when they first emerge.
space suits
Space suits can use the same fabric as advanced basic AP tracksuits just fortified against micrometeorites. Shielding against radiation will always be troublesome.
deep sea suits
With diamond as building material deep sea suits will become less bulky. Maybe each finger can be encapsulated seperately.
