Part of what I see in dress isn't "level of formality" per se.. it's hard for me to describe but the clothing is just part of the whole attitude of "this is going to be my most miserable day of the year, and this is what I will wear for that". I mentioned I flew somewhere and people's reaction is "oh, I'm sorry you had to do that". Etc, etc.

I took it as DEN-HNL in Y and HNL-DEN in F. That's not too hard for under $1k.
