Accepted answer
When you are roughed up by a bunch of hooligans you don't worry too much about their (lack of) sense of fashion. You have more urgent problems.
Hitler was somewhat lucky when his people found a load of tropical uniforms in a dump store for a bargain price. That's why the brown shirts wore brown shirts. Only much later was he able to afford to have Hugo Boss designing his uniforms.
Mussolini began much earlier than Hitler. By the time he was in power he could also afford pricey designers.
Oswald Mosley didn't have that luxury. His party was a fringe party, and remained a fringe party.
