In a thread in the Lounge, the possibility of a coming crisis is being discussed, with the implication being that modern civilization may collapse (e.g., due to world economic collapse, or wars.)
Now, whether a crisis is realistic and what form it would take is a topic for that other thread.
But supposing Something Big Happens, how would it affect your dressing? Would you take advantage of the breakdown of social expectations to dress more, or would you say that in such a situation, with the comforts of laws and policing and polite social fictions eroded, that it would probably be too risky to be "different"?
