To a point. Much depends on the character of the man wearing the clothes.

Herman Göring in Lederhosen:

Herman Göring as Reichsmarshalk

Don't know if Character has annything to do with it.
But for Herman here... a really strong belt, pulled on by some horsepower... does some work.

@SW-User Your clothing can have an influence on how you carry yourself. Maybe that is the meaning behind that phrase?

@Kwek00 Suits, and uniforms tend to hide figure flaws on men. Lol.

@chrisCA In certain situations, it can also change someones character... If you order someone to guard a prison in normal clothes, or you give them a tight outfit, lots of people in the new outfit have a way more easier way of identifying themselves as guard and start living the role. (also intrestingly described in "The Lucifer Effect" by Philip Zimbardo)

@chrisCA Herman was probably one of the most "posh" NAZI guys around... he loved to show his "good side" in front of the camera. (no photoshop in those days either)
