They play dress-up to represent something that they aren’t, to get you to think that they’re serious and competent.
Someone who really has competentence and something behind the looks can show up in rags and I will trust that person. Someone in a suit makes me question, what are they hiding? Why the need to show off?
My wife and I attended our friend’s wedding in our Hogwarts House outfits, Ravenclaw x Hufflepuff. Everyone else looked like they either had never seen a tailor before or had the same old suit sitting in the closet for years until that day.
I don’t want to have my ‘best’ dressed day to be in my casket… a man named Jidenna taught me that.
Here in the UK there are in general 2 categories of ppl who are still wearing suits: corporate managers and real estate agents. Not sure which is the worst, a close competition.
Someone in a suit is always suspicious.

You at a wedding: “Why is every man here wearing a suit? What are they hiding? Suspicion indeed!”
Nah, in this setting I would ask myself:
Why do we require suits for a wedding? We’re celebrating a couple, how does wearing a suit make it more celebratory?
And then probably go on a rant about our superficial society.
But the only wedding I would actually attend would be one where we’d sit on the ground in jeans and hoodies and pass a joint, or something like that.
Why not go entirely naked then? Jeans and hoodies is also an imposed norm by society just done by a different sub culture.
Because it may be cold, and I like my body in a mild climate.
And if it’s in Florida type heat? Then we do the naked wedding for you?
YES

Just about every culture on earth has ceremonial dress. It’s a human thing to dress special for special occasions. Don’t read too much into it.
