That being said I feel like a lot of other people have experienced embarrassment from overprotective parents too, even if in other ways, so they probably understand that it's your parents and not you who decided on those clothes!
Would it help to think about what people who care about you for your personality think about you, rather than those who you might worry about seeing you? They probably like you for reasons other than how you dress, and who knows maybe they even appreciate it as a quirk!

My parka is way too big for me too, my parents bought it too big to fit all the layers I have to wear under it. I literally always have to wear my hoods up with the scarf wrapped around them so all you can see are my eyes. And that’s true, but I’m by far the most bundled up student at my school. And that’s a tough one for me, I have trouble making friends.
