Using the "cost of living" rules on Campaigns. A full set of clothes costs a percentage of the cost of living, so it is proportional to Status: higher-status characters who do not want to "lose face" will be obliged to spend more money on clothes.

Status 0 characters who want to save money can buy cheap, unbranded clothes at markets or hard-discount shops (e.g., Status -1 clothes), therefore suffering reaction penalties.
