The clown suit may be a big example, dunno how else to put it, but I tried to illustrate the situation. Fact of the matter is: You act the way you dress. Put a hip-hop dude in a pink ballet-tutu, and he'll be emberassed - maybe that get's the point across? The hiphopper might not show it but generally, no hiphopper would feel comfortable wearing a pink tutu (there are always exceptions. Pink hair, for one). Works the other way around too: A formal suit gives someone confidence. - How ridiculous this sounds, it is a fact. Clothes shouldn't make a difference but they do. People feel comfortable in them, it gives them confidence if they look how they like to look.
