With your logic you could justify any behavior. I can "be sure" because God gave me a brain. There is nothing you can say that will make me think his "style" is a good or worthwhile thing.
(hey, maybe he could wear a clown suit with a big horn attached to it that he could honk for emphasis when he makes a good point in his sermons! I mean that might appeal to somebody in the world and get some "poor lost soul's attention and bring him to God"!)

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
