A lot of people had a lot of different beliefs about this, but Elton John said he dressed like he did because he felt like it was a way to escape his youth. He was going through a hard time because of the divorce of his parents, and they were very strict. He had to dress in a very serious and somber manner. He was always very close to his mother, but he was afraid of his father. When he had the freedom, he started wearing weirder clothes to escape from his youth. He also said he enjoyed doing it until the mid 80's. In 1988, he sold a lot of his old costumes in auctions.
