There are probably stories, personal histories and other things being revealed in the suits, but there's also a lot being masked or covered. They obviously transform the wearer into something else: a creature from another planet, or just another person, or something that's indeterminate. It's just not always clear what the personal meanings are, and that's probably not by accident. Nick is perhaps a little shy, and so the suits function as psychological armor, and to some extent their content has to do with hiding.
