Because the clothing is nowhere near to being unique to the setting like your examples are (heck, Trixie wore almost the same outfit...) and it's more like recognizing 'jeans and denim coat' or something like that as costume. Unless, of course, the wearer had some striking feature unlikely to be replicated in normal clothes.
