These criteria exclude the beachThere is a degree of truth in that. The same goes for being 'fat', or 'skinny' or any visible characteristic. "Majority rule" is a rather questionable expression but one gets the point.
The question then is: do you always/sometimes/rarely/never care what the majority, in a given situation, thinks?
The only overdressing I would worry about is under one of these conditions:
> you are among people with very limited means and your clothes are extravagantly opulent/visibly quite expensive. [this would essentially never apply in a place of work in the first world, unless your clothes are made of gold and diamonds or something]
> you are participating in an activity which cannot be safely performed in formal/ or elegant clothing.
> you belong to an organisation that proscribes/discourages elegant clothing. [which, if at all possible, one might want to avoid - because why would you want to associate with people who tell you how to dress?]
