Having spent most of my life selling menswear, I chuckled at your sartorial choice, which is sage and frugal. My own choices have often been trend led, possibly in some instances trend setting, always on the smart side especially for work. I consequently can't remember the last thing I actually wore out.
Currently as a carer I am always casual and miss donning my suit (of armour), shirt and tie to face the working day.
The stylist in me applauds your choices and their reasoning.
I'd like to think that I have A Style, but the closest I've come to suit-and-tie is my Teaching Costume (shirt, tie, workboots, and Carhart work pants. A vest or a cardigan, maybe.) In recent years, my formal wear has trended toward kilts. I perform weddings in a clergy tartan, black vest, etc.
It's long been of interest to me how certain 'costumes' allow you to be different and almost give you different abilities in terms of how you address the world. You can dress to stand out, you can dress to be invisible, you can dress to be taken seriously, or perceived as dangerous. There's a lot of power in clothes.

Thanks for sharing some sartorial insights.
