Because that was the current clothing fashion. Being an itinerant wandering teacher/prophet he did not have much money to make himself "fashionable" - at any rate that would have went against his teaching of rejecting worldly things.

Though Jesus Christ was quite poor materially when on earth, he evidently wore a garment of such high quality that his executioners cast lots over who would confiscate it! (John 19:23, 24)
Jesus was without defect, so no doubt he was a fine-looking man. (John 1:29; Hebrews 7:26) And he certainly would not have worn the permanent look of melancholy given to him in popular art. True, he experienced many distressing events in his life, but in his general disposition, he perfectly mirrored his Father, "the happy God."-1 Timothy 1:11; Luke 10:21; Hebrews 1:3.
Was the hair of Jesus long? Only Nazirites were not to cut their hair or drink wine, and Jesus was not a Nazirite. So he no doubt had his hair neatly clipped like any other Jewish male. (Numbers 6:2-7)
And he evidently wore a beard, which is attested to in a prophecy concerning his suffering.-Isaiah 50:6.
What about Jesus' complexion and features? They were likely Semitic. He would have inherited these features from his mother, Mary, who was Jewish. Her ancestors were Jewish, in the line of the Hebrews. So Jesus would probably have had a complexion and features common to Jews.
Even among his apostles, Jesus apparently did not stand out as being very different physically, for Judas had to betray him to his enemies with an identifying kiss. Thus, Jesus could readily blend in with the crowd. And he did, for on at least one occasion, he traveled unrecognized from Galilee to Jerusalem.-Mark 14:44; John 7:10, 11.

You did not have to include the fact that you are an atheist. I could tell just by the way you speak of Christ. He came here to teach us the way to Heaven and how to live. He wore what was the fashion of His time. He did not come as a rich man so that all men could identify with Him. What Jesus looks like is not important, it is what He did to save us that matters.

Jesus is perfect because he was the messenger of god ... and perfect is not measured by cloth ...
and no he can't lead millions of people into the gates of heaven ...
what you do in your life .... how do you worship god and pray for him ... thank him ...... be helpfull to others .....
what you do in your life if you'r doing good things ... will lead you to heaven
it's silly to think that jesus will lead millions of people into the gates of heaven ... and that he died to take the sins of the human
so silly ....
you can do what ever you want ... lot of sins .... kill people .... they you think your going to heaven because jesus died on the cross to take the sins of every body

The way in which Jesus was perfect had nothing to do with his appearance. The clothes he wore and the way he wore his hair and beard are indicative of the time in which he lived.

Christianity is not about what is on the outside, it is about what is inside and man that counts. Clothes don't make the man, the man makes the clothes. The old saying is you can lead a horse to water but you cant make him drink. The same with Jesus, He can lead you but accepting him is your cup to drink.

you describe perfect first. besides, we are not even certain whether the pictures of jesus are really jesus' picture and not just some artists' conception. and so, you, being an atheist, think there's really heaven and gates of heaven?

Jesus wore a seemless garment which is the most expensive to make. He didnt wear off the rack stuff.

Any suggestion where Jesus should shop when He returns? And Oh, you believe in Heaven?

HE dressed, and acted like the average person of the day in the area where HE lived.
Do NOT feel bad that you are an IGNORANT Atheist.
There are many intelligent ones too.
