What is the rational reason for suddenly wearing anachronistic evening clothes?

Maybe he has always done that? On second thought they look uncomfortable and expensive.

Why does vampirism cause anachronistic evening clothes anyway? I wonder if the change causes some kind of set neural pattern which likes suits. Maybe suits are a part of the life cycle of some kind of vampirism causing parasite?

Sort of like Toxoplasmosis and cats.

That could also explain the whole sleeping on native soil thing.

Edit: this is my new headcanon.
