Often, a character's outfit can reveal many things about him/her such as their status in society, the amount of spending money they have, their interests, and sometimes even their moral values.

In the first instance, a character who is dressed to the nines and wears respectable clothes will often attract more people than someone who wears unkempt clothes that look like they haven't ever been washed simply because they look and most likely have more class and self-respect.

The next one is quite obvious. A character who is flaunting a six hundred dollar Gucci purse and designer clothes most likely has more money than a character who is wearing an outfit from the Goodwill.

As far as interests go, sometimes describing characters in certain clothes will inform the reader details about the girl/guy in your story. Instead of telling the reader that your character is a fan of a certain band or is a part of a certain school club, try telling the reader that they are wearing a shirt with the band's logo or school club's initials. You can also use this as a scheme to make connections from your character to other characters, for example two girls could start talking because one girl liked the band on the others' shirt. That could be the opening conversation for an unexpected friendship.

Finally, character traits. This one is pretty self-explanitory. If a character is wearing revealing clothing considered "slutty" by society, the reader will most likely make the assumption that the character is very uninhibited compared to a character who constantly wears dresses and suits.
