Perhaps it's to demonstrate that wearing tasteful gear is a sign that you have no soul.
It makes you vain and self-obsessed. (Whereas being naturally beautiful just means your inner soul is shining through!) Only silly girls, blah blah insert sexism care about clothes. And of course, guys who wear colours that match *horrors!* are slightly effeminate cowards. A real man is endearingly bad at that sort of thing, and will eventually end up being dressed by his wife.
(yes, K2K people, all my awesome theories come to fuck-all too :D)
I love K2K. They spent so long obsessing over the plots to all 7 books while Rowling's probably twiddling her thumbs and staring into thin air.
Tom Riddle, being evil, is a prime candidate for OMG RAPIST, so some people might well stick up for you there.
I'm reminded of the post on the fic cliches comm about how people need to stop portraying the Gryffindors as potential rapists, because obviously they'd never ever do such a thing! Only people wearing black hats and twirling moustaches green ties are innately capable of that. (Actually, McLaggen and Romilda are probably closer to the grey than, say, Draco and Pansy, but whatever.)
