and the abomination refered to in that verse was the idol worship that was being done by the pagan nieghbors of the Israelites.
Before the men (hebrew "geber" = warriors) would go into battle they would have their women put on the "apparel' or armaments of war, the soldiers would atire themselves in the cast off garments of the women.
Then they would, dressed in that fassion, appease their gods to bless them in battle.
The words of Dt 22:5 was a warnig to Israel not to do as their pagan nieghbors did.
The Abomination was NEVER the clothing they wore but the idolol worship that took place when this practice took place.
So "search for holiness" is wrongon this account. Call the book what it is, "Search for man made standards"
