And you can't see, at all, that the folks who choose to wear business suits feel precisely the same way?
That they like getting compliments from the people they interact with? That it makes them feel good about themselves and feel like it matches who they are?
That the suit feels good too them due to the materials being quality and expensive?
That they would never feel good in leather because it's not who they are? That even if the leather wasn't sweaty and sticky, they'd still feel horrible?
Both of y'all are doing the same shit. You're wearing what you want to wear because it feels good to you and it feels good to you because you get compliments on it and getting compliments on it means that you've been accepted by the group you wish to be accepted by.
The suit and the leather gimp suit are the same thing. The vest and the kapris are the same thing. The turtle neck and the neck tie are the same thing. They are all status symbols. They all say "I want to talk to people dressed like this" and probably "I don't want to talk to anyone who dresses like that"
