Why is it masculine?

Vestido is masculine because it derives from the Latin past participle "vestitus" (clothed/dressed), which carried masculine gender from the Latin noun "vestis" (garment); over time, Spanish grammaticalized this past participle as a noun retaining its original masculine gender despite referring to an article of clothing that can be worn by anyone.
