If the purpose of protests is giving people a place to publically congregate and build a network of resistance and support and a constant reminder that they are not alone in this fight, then the current dress code of "whatever you want and a sign" seems fine.

Neo-Nazis marching in perfect formation and in uniform don't convince people of abhorrent poo poo because they look snappy. I'm not sure why you'd think that progressives would somehow be different even though their message is morally much better.

Protests don't really change anyone's mind ever, however if they continue then either people will start to see through Trump and his ilk has incompetent buffoons who can not keep order at all, or protestors will be subject to extremely harsh and unjust violence which was pretty much Ghandi or MLK's goal with non-violent protests.
