The Lord Jesus Christ is using satire to deride those who love fancy clothes. In Cockney slang it would be translated, the rich "nancy boys" in powerful positions love fancy clothes.

Luke 7:24-26
²⁴And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
²⁵But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts.
²⁶But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
