Easy way to do this?

I had the idea of a player that could change the color of their clothing in game, as sort of a cloaking but instead of invisible the model texture colors changed.
I wanted a cool flowing graphic to go down the body and change the color, is there a good way to do this other then a bunch of textures at different stages of the change?

What I would do is have a pixel shader lerp between old and new. The interpolation factor would have to be calculated. You said it should "go down the body" so what I would do is base the interpolation factor on the z-component of the vertex position (in object space).
I realize that's a light description, but unless I actually made the effect, it'd be hard to post more information. That would be my "plan" for how to make the effect.
