Who are some wrestlers who switched to different attire when they turned heel? Off the top of my head I can think of Andre going to the one strap singlet and Crush wearing face paint and black singlets (though they did have colors on them, they were nothing like the ones he wore in 92-93).

Though now she has her old gear in heelish darker colors since being called up to Raw as part of Damage CTRL.

Player Uno to Evil Uno, though the gear has evolved over time and wasn't necessarily as drastic a change at the time.
Stu Grayson from Player Dos was definitely a change.

Rick Martel is the first one to come to mind. I liked the choice of colors they had for him and every time he came back from time off they had him in a new color, except the last time in 93.

Savage wearing long tights and eventually a top as Macho King. Though I believe that was more of a shrinkage after going off the gas issue than a new look for a new character.

Keiji Mutoh and The Great Muta?
Jushin Liger had a black version of his outfit when he lead the heel stable CTU.
And Masa Chono went from white trunks to black long tights and long black coats to the ring.

Did Jeff Jarrett wear the weird strap tights as a face in the USWA or was that once he became a WWF heel?

Several people switched from long tights to trunks upon or shortly after heel turns
Triple H in '99 Bradshaw to JBL in 2004 Brian Kendrick to The Brian Kendrick in 2008
Billy Kidman started rocking a ring jacket with white boots after he turned on London in 2004. Matt Hardy switched out his Hardy Boyz gear for the V1 Gear in the Fall of 2002.

Not already said above.
Batista heel turn post baby face. Ring attire not so much but Street clothes he went from suits to what we call DoucheTista. John Cena rapper look once he went heel. Orton famous tight design happened once he went Evolution. After the shorts style tights when he was the blew chipper. Scott Steiner heel turn, changed a ton of things. Hair, goatee, and in a couple months into it started having design on his singlet than to the shorts. Heel Lita RTC Ivory and everyone else who went to RTC Reverend D-Von TNA when Team 3D broke up and Bully Ray became a thing.

Jimmy Snuka wore boots (boots!!!) for a few squash matches on tv for an aborted heel turn in the late 70's/early 80's. My memory is a bit hazy about which year but it was shown on Maple Leaf Wrestling. Same moveset, maybe scowled a tad more.

In TNA, Lashley’s heel turn coincided with him starting to wear the headband.
