"Your clothes become you" can be taken two ways.
A compliment, your clothes suit you perfectly.
A warning, your clothes are adapting.
Yes, I said adapting.
The more you wear something, the more of you is taken in.
Souls cling to familiar objects, given enough time these objects become more.
They are given life from your presence, or do they take life from you?
Little by little these items begin to devour their host, leaving gaping holes
where flesh and muscle once were and forming a body over the wearer.
Given enough time the host may be devoured wholly leaving nothing but the
newly formed creature.
Another possibility is that the creature will run out of strength midway leaving
the host trapped inside a thick layer of their own skin.
This leads to death by asphyxiation.
Should the creature live through this, they can be spotted by the texture of their
stolen skin and the lingering scent of blood.
