I think a uniform of some kind is important. There are 2 ways to go here...

The other approach is to wear totally functional clothing. You know the sort of thing: transparent pockets on your thighs, knife strapped to each ankle, gloves, bone dome. As you walk out to your PA28 / C172 everyone will think "There goes a man equipped for anything" and "I wish I was cool like that".

Hope this helps to clear up any sartorial doubts.
