Another bonus side note to wearing your Sunday best is the human factors part of the equation.

Studies have shown that you WILL be on another level sitting there knowing you are looking the pro. In pure automation you will be on guard and not be in relaxed mode, even if the tone goes to the casual side of the house.

Trivia, but studies also show that pilots in uniform/business attire will perform better under stress than casually dressed individuals.

Case in point. We train in business casual, but even though there is no stipulated dress code for the rating ride, everyone shows up in a shirt and tie.
