I never wear a suit. I know it counts against me with some people.... but I don't want to work with those people. I don't even wear suits to funerals or weddings. If people don't want me to come that's fine with me.

Life is too short to worry about these things.

I worry that you are loading too much meaning to a suit and might be undercutting yourself subconsciously. What does a suit represent to you?

Not wearing proper attire to weddings and especially to funerals might also hurt people's feeling who are close to the deceased or the happy couple. I don't mean that you have to wear a suit for these occasions at all but during these events a proper attire is a sign of care and compassion.
