The article answers this.

"I don’t know many poor, or working class, or female, or struggling-to-be-taken-seriously folk who would show up at the inauguration of our 46th president dressed like Bernie."

Given the importance of the event, there is a socially constructed "dress code". The privilege comes from Bernie being able to break this code without fear of negative repercussions.
