This is where fading can be helpful - easiest in small groups, though.
I personally think it'd be funny to say "okay, can we pretend an hour has passed while Character's Name changes outfits", have the ooc group leader put a ~1 hour later~ notif in party chat or whatever, and then when Character's Name gets back ""an hour later"" (30 seconds in real time) everyone's ICly really exasperated with them... xD
Works as an IC excuse for OOC AFK, too. "Sorry, family wants me to eat sunday dinner, BRB ~1-2hr let's say my character's off getting changed/ready" lol. When I was younger I had to come up with all sorts of contrived excuses as to why my character was suddenly leaving in the middle of a session; I'm sure I must've used that at least once.
...which is actually some of where an IC "just quickchange!" can be a really troublesome and annoying response to get, since then you get dragged into IC "what does that even mean" "well you see--" when the whole point was to get you out of RP.
I generally think it's best to, where possible, fit in with the atmosphere of the people you're RPing with... there's no point being contrary or obstructive for the sake of it. And if you really can't stand it or it's fundamentally incompatible with what you find fun, find another group to go with, yknow?
