Rabbi Yaakov Goldstein writes
(https://shulchanaruchharav.com/halacha/may-one-continue-wearing-shabbos-clothing-on-motzei-shabbos-which-is-tisha-beav):

The diary of Rav Leibel Groner documents the Rebbe’s reaction after being told by Rabbi Groner of the custom of some to change their Shabbos clothing. “The Rebbe was very surprised at this and asked me to show him where it states such a thing. I showed him in the Sefer Tishe Beav Shechal Beshabbos who brings that a number of Chassidic communities are accustomed to do so. The Rebbe responded that in Yakatrinslov no one did this and I do not understand this and why to delay Maariv for such a thing. Later the Rebbe said on Motzei Tisha Beav that this custom of delaying Maariv to go home and change Shabbos clothing is a wild custom that was the custom of Hungarian Jewry but not in Russia. The Rebbe added that the Rabbannim, and you included were never in Russia.”

On a similar note:
It’s common/many places practice in the house of an avel -r”l- that motzoei shabbbos they change clothes before maariv. I was menachem avel the Rosh Yeshivah, Rabbi Piekarsky ZL on Motzoei Shabbos and did observe that he was wearing his Shabbos clothes.
