Casual Conversation Why do so many medical students wear the coat outside their campus on the streets?

I must add the disclaimer that I’m not trying to be mean.
I just never understood why medical students here always wear their coat outside, while walking on the streets or getting into a crowded lift. Doesn’t it make your coat dirty, especially in a climate like ours?
I have second cousins who studied medicine in the West, they never did this. My parents and grandparents are doctors and they’ve done much of their medical schooling abroad. I asked them if this was a thing amongst them. They said that they never wore their coats outside the campus.
I know, this might come across as somewhat judgmental, but I’ve never quite understood the point.
