We have been described in several ocations the clothes of Nearly
Headless Nick, and how they change for each occasion (I don't have the
books handy at this point, so you'll have to look up your own
examples). For example, IIRC, he sometimes wears a doublet with a high
neck that helps keep his head in place (which automatically implies
that sometimes he doesn't), and in his deathday party he wears
something formal, I think. In my opinion, this means  that ghosts can
indeed change clothes. I doubt they have to buy them or adquire them
in any way, though. Probably if they can picture themselves wearing
the clothes it will be enough. Thus, by this theory, Myrtle still
thinks herself short-sighted and wills some glasses that "correct" her
vision.

Hope that helps,
