The idea is quite simple, in the player’s information window must be shown which clothes is that clone wearing at the time.
Just like the ship’s info window lets us know what skin is being used.
”This helps players to ‘brag’ if they bought a 20 bill ISK boots, and want to show them off”.
No, seriously, people buy expensive clothes but almost no one even notice what they are wearing, it is a matter of status.
This can boost the apparel market with free marketing.
Wow, where did you get those nice boots?
Those are 20 billion? You must be rich!

Some apparel is indeed expensive. Many people won’t notice, many won’t care. But be sure that right now some people will notice your expensive clothes.
