I'm going to play devil's advocate here and say that it isn't purely a stereotype. Stereotypes are based on undeniable truths and while they shouldn't be the rule, they don't leave much to exception either.
As a gay man fashion sense is important to me and I think this has two reasons.
The first reason is culture. If you go to any gay club or gay mecca in general, you'll likely see chiseled bodies, high fashion, and a few other "new" things. Gay men have a mastered understanding of the importance of physical attraction. It's clear to us that in the real world plain Jane doesn't get supermodel Shaun. Personality is most important without question, but without an inviting exterior nobody wants to see what counts. Just as a home with the most elegant designs and styles on the inside will be overlooked if the outside looks like an earthquake has taken place. Fashion is a part of displaying our physical attributes in a colorful and inviting way.
The second reason is innate within all gay men. Studies have proven gay mens brains function more like the female brain. Studies have also shown that female brains have an inclination to detail, organization, and you guessed it fashion.
Of course gay and fashionable does not come hand in hand, but they are often seen in pairs nevertheless.

That's an opinion. It's a sterotype. Yeah it's true many gay men have a good fashion sense but others do not. On the other hand lesbians are said to not care about fashion, yet I know many that are very fashionable. I don't like sterotypes and labels.

We dress better because we care how we look and we dont want to run into someone we know if we are dressed bad..
