I realize we all have different values/expectations and different levels of comfort when it comes to long haul flights...I tend to fly in shorts, slip on shoes and a hoodie though I do feel out of place in business class flights when looking at suit dressed execs and corporate types who give me "the stare of death" as though I should not be there.
The only thing I would really take offence at is if you were smelly or excessively loud. Other than that, as long as you don't dress totally trashy, you should be fine.
If there were an expected dress code beyond regular street wear, airlines would publish it.
