Being polite can tell people you are perfectly comfortable in who you are and changing into a jacket and tie doesn't take that away from you.

It's flout a dress code. (I wish there were some phrase or acronym we could use to signal a correction offered with friendly intentions. And yes, I'm aware of the [irony?] of offering such a correction in a thread about ... politeness.)
