Dress 250 years old and you'll probably look like a tool unless you take up EVERY attribute that was fashionable in that period. Are you going to wear a periwig? Sneakers don't go well with a tricorn hat.

For example, there's a young CS student at my school who wears a long brown leather coat and a pirate-ish hat. The two problems are: Who over the age of 8 dresses up like a pirate? and he's bald-faced, sneaker-wearing, and has a t-shirt under the coat.
