"When I see pictures of libertarians or right-wingers, they often seem to be wearing conformist looking clothes"

Isn't simply a case of advertising that you are part of a particular social grouping (or at least aspire to it) by conforming to the styles used by that group?

NB My own favourite example being spotting genuinely posh people by the colour and state of their cords trousers... (is it an ex-army thing?).
