Conformity is more driven by our need to put food on the table(not some egotistical peer to peer competition). I'm sure many people would love to chase their radical notions and wear a bathing suit to work. But that will get you fired...

More interesting question, in a post-scarcity society where everyone has their basic needs met, how does this effect conformity?
