The notion that you can only wear certain clothes if you are in a specific field is a relic of age old traditions going back thousands of years.
It has always been important to be able to distinguish the upper classes from the lower classes.

Many times in history there have actually be laws restricting the type of clothes one is allowed to wear depending on his class, and still today many places have dress codes that are more or less exclusive to very specific events... events that only the highest social classes can attend.
You would be harshly criticized if you decided to wear a white tie outfit outside of a white tie event, not because you are dressed unusually, but because you are not of the right social class.

Social classes are not unlike military ranks, there are articles of clothing such as epaullettes and agrillites that you are only allowed to wear if you are of a certain rank.

Most people accept their place in life and will not wear a suit, they resign themselves to dressing in cheap tracksuits and sneakers, the modern equivelent of brown rags that the peasant class used to wear.
You can choose to go along with the crowd and be accepted by society or you can choose to be the poor man in a top hat, not because you want to say something about social status, but simply because you like the style of clothing that you do and there is no reason to abide by oppressive and obsolete social class pressure.

It's just clothes, it doesn't matter what shape, colour or texture they are, if you like it, wear what you like
