The setting of Minecraft requires the wearing of appropriate medieval clothes to not stand out from ordinary folk. I just can't fancy a character in sci-fi armor casually pacing amongst one-story houses. With medieval clothing, you can dress as a blacksmith, vicar, farmer, logger, pillager, etc.
Someone may point out that, in most cases, we'd want to wear a set of armor instead anyway. But I would have to disagree with that take. You wear armor when you're out for a dangerous venture, but for peaceful times another outfit can be more suitable. All of the items from the mod are obtainable through trade with different villagers.
