I loved rolling my fem Crusader, only to realize that most of my clothes seemed to fall off along the way as I moved up the ranks. Last I checked, sports bras and chastity belts weren't classified as standard issue armor.
Edit: This just says it all for me - right here.

Edit 2: A little idea just dawned on me that MIGHT actually be realistic for future development. (Still very unlikely, but not improbable nonetheless) What if the sprites were organized into a system of upgrades similar to the Eden armor upgrades, only in regards to fashion?
For a simplified hypothetical example:
NPC: Oh you're ready to upgrade to a Paladin/Royal Guard! Congratulations! As a small recognition of your new rank, you're free to choose some new armor! (Paladin/Royal Guard Sprite design) Of course, you may choose to remain in your current attire if you wish, (Crusader Sprite design) but you are welcome to upgrade at this time.
ME: I'll keep my clothes on, but thanks though! *walks away*
This is of course very exaggerated, lol, but I don't feel the concept is unbelievable. That way no one would have to suffer engineering countless new sprite gear/costumes and people would just be left with the simple option to choose between their own class looks once they become available. It could provide a healthy feeling of choice/customization without impeding the system, while at the same time giving people access to their personal preferences.
Yes? No?
