I enjoy cosplay, but they're characters that I like and am drawn to ..
It sucks that your own version is rather enforced and a chore for you.
Isn't it weird how adults impress such issues. Dress this in this manner and you show your respect for me. Ah but were is your respect? o.O
You are not his 'mini-me' .. you are You!
I find it sad that your Father impresses this upon you, but I'm mindful of the fact that he is himself influenced by tradition and society norms. I don't think he's a 'bad guy', but rather he has certain structures that he himself conforms to and expects others to follow suit .. especially his children.
I don't know if he realizes that the whole 'clothes maketh the man' concept is historically apt, but not so much a modern issue.

Try to compromise? Find a 'happy medium' of darker hues?
Grays, deep burgundy .. colours that perhaps comfort you but in labeled garments that can potentially appease him?
