We consider many college professors heathen, and most of them dress just like Pentecostal men.
This whole 'separate in dress' thing just has no biblical basis. We should dress in a way that is becoming to a Christian, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to be drastically different.
Yes, as our world gets more naked, we are going to look more different. But not just for the sake of looking different.

I think you missed what I was saying.
We are separted in every way you can imagine. If I am separated by my worldview and values, that bleeds into every area of my life. A woman wouldn't dress like a sleaze-bag, a man would dress like a gentleman, a youth will dress respectably. It doesn't mean no one else is or does -- I mean there's plenty of non-Christians that have
some good fruit. But definitely what I see in the mirror, as a product of His image, and in consideration of my brother and sister, as well as the responsibility of being His ambassador will help me consider what to wear.. and that does (and should) make a difference!
It's not always "drastically" different, but I didn't propose that either. There may be cases where it's drastic, but for the most part, it's just living modestly, humbly and reflecting as much of Christ as we can. Clothing is an expression of you. Don't believe me? Ask the Fashion Industry. Hip Hop clothes, Hippy clothes, Athlete clothes, Preppy clothes, etc... There is a message.
(BTW, some probably wouldn't have a problem with nudity if the world started doing it. On what basis would they use?)
