My personal take on fashion is that I really don't want to try and copy what everyone else wears: after all, I look much better as ME than as a poor imitation of someone else. That said, where I live right now fashion is a bit different than a lot of other places in that clothing is generally a lot more casual (and working with mathematicians at a university only makes it more so). For example, my suits generally collect dust except for specific Harvard Club events because... well... who really wears a suit on the west coast besides bankers?
Looking at the listed fashions, I had to check 'belted coats' to make sure that was actually a male fashion: the model looked more than androgynous enough to be female and the fashion looked like a specific female model shoot (like this (http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a.f.-vandevorst-fw-2012) but with slightly more skin showing). Also, there are only two I could imagine fitting in with the Harry Potter characters: Draco Malfoy in grey on grey (he wouldn't be caught dead in a silly Muggle hat or those trousers) and Hermione Granger in the 60s motif. The 90s nostalgia shirt could - I suppose - be seen on the type of Sirius Black persona (from fic) that loves to make Sirius/serious jokes... but really that's more for those who REALLY want to thumb their noses as the wizarding world!
