nnyKnow what?
I don't care. I'm sorry, but I don't care. I'm not interested in what your RP character is wearing. Unless it's something like a seven foot wide sombrero, in which case, okay, I can see why you'd mention it. It might prompt a O.O reaction or two. Depends on the character, I guess. But please, seriously. I Don't Care.
It's overthinking. It's... SF writer syndrome. It's where you've designed it so carefully in your head you want someone to worship you for it. You want people to see things exactly as you see them. I don't read SF because of the over description complex. I'm far more interested in the things that aren't stated, the random moments and hints that populate Neil Gaiman's work, for instance- stuff he could no doubt talk at length about, stuff that he gives a slight mention of, stuff that you can look into yourself, make up your own stories for.
If I wanted someone else's vision, I'd watch TV.
Credit your readers with a little imagination, please?
