As the old saying goes..."He changed my heart, not my shirt."

Matthew Henry said, "God looks not on outward pomp, but he looks at the tokens and expressions of inward reverence for a divine institution..."

Sometimes the "token and expression of inward reverence" may be seen in a suit and tie, other times not. IMO, there is no place or need for legalistic dress codes in God's church.

We are nowhere commanded to formal dress as a condition for biblical worship.
