Writing in unnecessary detail about a character's appearance, clothing, or background is a pretty common thing with new authors. If it has a direct bearing on the scene (for instance, clothing detail used in explaining why one character is so sexually attracted to another), there's nothing wrong with it. At least, elements like that tend to happen early-enough on in most stories to inform you what kind of story you're about to read (or put down before it's too late).
