As most people, know you must “dress for success”, so what choice of outfit would you make to be the most successful in your begging efforts?
For myself, I think I would wear cut-off wranglers; worn-out redwing work boots; plain ol’ white wifebeater undershirt; an army/navy surplus jacket and dogtags; and a trucker cap.
A bra and a thong. That’s it. I’m gonna be rich. 
I would have a dog at my side. People who won’t support a panhandle will support the dog.

Black, Prada sleeveless dress with matching clutch, and Louboutin peep-toe heels.
Me too! Who wouldn’t give money to a 200 pound bald guy in a bra and thong, amiright? 
Ninja costume, with accompanying sign proclaiming something along the lines of “Family kidnapped by rival ninjas. Need $ for more training.”
What’s this I hear about barring songs in public? Why shouldn’t someone sing in public if they want? Maybe they have a bad voice! So What! Don’t listen!
Oh.
A bra and a thong.
That’s different.
Never mind.
Horn-rimmed glasses with white tape on the nose-piece, brown corduroys and a white shirt with a plastic pocket protector.
My sign reads: “Will Code For Food”.
My friends begged on a street corner in Las Cruces dressed as robots - in cardboard-box and aluminum foil costumes, that is. They also had a sign that said “hit the robot with a quarter!”
I don’t remember how it fared for them, tho. I think they didn’t have the drive to keep it up long enough to make serious cash. They probably had the munchies.
Wedding gown and tear-streaked cheeks.
I’d go old school and wear a pickle barrel with suspenders.
I’d probably offer you a long term position. A room, home cooked meals, and all the Mountain Dew and Cheetos you can snarf.
Bra and a thong. (I’m a male.)
Or a Big Bird suit.
I’d wear my tux, but with the black tie. That way people can see that I’m too poor to go to white tie affairs.
A fake moustache and an erection.
Regardless of what you may be wearing, never be seen talking on your iPhone. Pass the time with a ragged old paperbook; never with an iPad. Some “panhandlers” just don’t get it.
A disguise!
I like it; subtle but effective.
