Cloths are neither moral or immoral, they are things we wear, and depending upon context people assign a judgment to what someone wears or how they dress.
A military uniform says something about the person wearing it, but it may send different messages to the people viewing it, depending which military of which country they are in.
But nudity in in of itself is neither moral or immoral. In the case of nudity, for me, it is context of situation. If I go to a place that is not known for nudity and I have no expectation to see it and go there and there is nudity, then it might shock me. But if one deliberately goes to a nudist camp or swingers club they have a reasonable expectation that people will be naked.
I wouldn't want to show up to a family reunion with everyone naked. But I'd be a liar to say it wouldn't be fun to be at a legal nude beach, or a legal naked jog through a city street.
Cloths in human history have multiple purposes. Evolution wise in our early history it was to keep us warm and dry. It evolved into status symbols, then onto religious symbols. In todays modern life it can be all those things or merely simple comfort.
But over all cloths do not "make the man". Berny Madoff wore a suit. The PM of Iran wears a suit. The Pope wears a costume. But that does not make the entire population of the world value them and it will not prevent them from dying eventually.
So cloths to me for most of my daily life only serve as a pragmatic function of keeping me warm and obeying community standard laws. But other than that, I really dont care what someone likes wearing, the person is who is important.
Cloths wont automatically make you a bad or good person because they are objects.
