I totally agree, but I am also a fan of civilization. There are some standards of dress depending on occasion and venue. I don't want everyone dressed like me, but it's a matter of respect to at least adhere to the local customs.
I was guest on a wedding once where one rebel of a guest came dressed in t-shirt and jeans, while EVERYONE else was wearing a suit or dress. Now, this is just rude and shows no respect towards host or other guests.
I rarely wear a suit for a restaurant, but at least I am trying to look decent. No intention of me to feel better about myself - if I had, I would be happy if I was the best dressed among all of them
