that's what glamours are for. their Job specific gear can still be iconic no matter what they share regular gear with.

and a RDM looks a lot more RDM-like with a Heavy High Allagan Coat than a High Allagan Coat of Healing, not all tank gear is Heavy Metal, a bunch of them are pretty flowy without actually looking like dresses.

also they obviously don't care about distasteful when MNK and NIN gets to use The Guardian's Breastplate Of Striking.
