Someone can be dressed in a suit in F and still be an obnoxious a$$hole pounding the free drinks talking loudly about himself the entire flight to seatmates that could care less and just want some peace and quite. Acting classy isn't about wearing a jacket. It's about consideration for the people around you.
I'll agree that there are and should be some taboos, but that all comes back to common courtesy and consideration when in close quarters with a bunch of strangers.
If someone is quiet, polite, dry, odorless, and keeps in their personal space, I could care less if they are in a ballcap and long sleeve T or in a tuxedo.
peace,
