Why?
Steve Jobs would have to have previously applied for and been granted a trademark for his particular look which is not in any way "unique".
The purpose of trademarks is to make a clear distinction between one entity and another so they can be clearly identified as such.
Millions of people wear turtleneck sweaters, not making it unique and distinguishable enough from others to be trademarked.
Now if he dressed in a colorful, striped uniform similar in design to a Vatican guard on a daily basis, that would be very unique and it would probably have been granted trademark protection, bringing a whole new meaning to the word, trade dress.
