I've heard this a lot. But there's a lot of space between three-piece-suit and someone wearing a low-quality tee, cargo shorts and plastic footwear.
There are tons of ways to look better that don't require a waistcoat. Wear pants or shorts that fit and are made of high-quality material rather than something baggy enough to be draped over any pair of legs that walks through the door at Target. Wear a shirt with a collar, not a bell-shaped tee shirt that may have been a free promotional item. Wear footwear that look better and better with age instead of immediately worse, and worse after that.
When people wear clothes suited for the beach or the gym or for doing yardwork, it sends the message that where you are going is more important to you than where you are. And just like when someone is free to go to a steak place and order the cut extra well-done, with a side of ketchup, I am free to believe that it says something fundamental about them.
