Not surprised. The hot style right now is "authenticity" and typical high status clothing is associated with just the opposite of that.

Yes, but authenticity as value signaling, not as a commitment to behave without unnecessary layers.
I lived in a meditation center for a year, and I saw some people there that claimed to be authentic, and worked to look like the stereotype. But they were actually hiding a desire for materialism and the failure to live up to it behind the apparent choice of rejecting it.
Irony can be pretty ironic.
