Are there any studies on links between clothing style and personality?

Reading about on personality psychology, I have met several vague claims that different personality types prefer different clothing styles.

Apparently, people who are more keen to their senses will prefer softer clothes.
People who highly value order and efficiency have been said to prefer a more formal clothing style.

Are there any research studies to support such claims? (I'm looking for links to scientific reports)

I'm not thinking about sexy or revealing clothing, though. – Berit Larsen Jun 21 '15 at 00:00
Could you include references to those 'vague claims' you have read? – Steven Jeuris Oct 24 '17 at 08:49
