This doesn't make sense to me at all. The whole point of this kind of conscious signaling is to modulate people's reactions to you; if, in some context, you truly value signaling that (say) you really like InuYasha over all the other things you could be saying with your clothes, even after taking the downsides into account, then looking like you're on your way to an anime convention is exactly what you want in that situation, not a downside of any kind. Otherwise, it's not really what you want to say with your clothes.
Am I missing something important?
What I meant is the things I'd like to say are likely so complex and unusual that it's look like a costume, something only people in other usually fictional cultures wear, rather than any kind of normal everyday or formal clothing.
