Oh yes.

I think the way I would do this is to make the character suffer some other disadvantage while he is in fine clothes. He could be short-tempered and suffer from Bad Temper (12) in the meantime. The fact that he loses out points-wise (-5 vs. -10) makes it fair that he gets to trade one disadvantage for another. And he should resent doing this, and not do it often.
