Absolutely correct Pete. Horses for courses. Clearly one would wonder about someone turning up to dig dressed in a suit! Conversely if you are consorting with clients and other professionals it is not a good idea to turn up in combats and rigger boots. An Armani suit is not necessary, but a reasonably smart appearance is considered courteous in the real world. True, in my previous life, if on a purely "technical" site visit I would dress casually, but if attending a meeting etc then a jackey and tie was required. See also Doc Pete's remarks about cars.
Like it or not, presentation and the manner in which you conduct yourself are part of business life - and being professional!
