It's like that old joke, at one time a person with tatoos was nutcase, now it's a chef that will do you pork belly with a balsamic drizzle.

I don't often wear suits nowadays but on Monday I put on a mid grey wool suit, more Italian than Ivy style, with black sebagos, white Brooks Brothers shirt and a black made in Belgium silk tie. I was attending a funeral. My Uncle, whose wife we were burying, looked at me when we met and said 'you look good, that is a good suit' I felt more comfortable in a suit than I could remember and I was pleased with the compliment. I must buy a lightweight wash and wear suit for the summer. I can't keep wearing my chore jacket expecting to 'pass muster'

BUt seems right on them when they are welding etc not out drinking expensive vokda in ice bars

Or making you an oat milk decaf flat white

Black coffee only for me by now... it gets easier once the milk isn't there.

I bought a cheap chore jacket last spring to have when I poke around in the garden or smoke cigars on the back porch in the evening.

Dungarees and Carpenter pant's were big on the soul scene late 70's, usually worn with made in the USA sweatshirts.
