What is the purpose of the Physical Journey? Well, it is to stimulate a Psychological Transformation. Because that's what a story is - a Transformation.
This is your job as a writer - to guide the Transformation. To pull the Hero through the necessary stages of the Journey and see him or her through the Change Process. In a way, you're a Change Manager.
In the beginning the Hero will be dressed one way, after being pushed through some stages of the journey, the psychological change will reflect in clothing, behaviour, attitudes and beliefs. For example:
In Annie Hall (1977), Annie is initially shy, retiring, dependent on Alvie and living in New York. At the end, she is confident, independent and in Los Angeles. Along the way, change is incremental.
In The Godfather (1972), Michael is initially resistant to joining the Family whereas finally he leads it. His clothing, physical form (face) and demeanour represent the change. Again, along the way, the incremental changes are evident.
