Looking like you are going to a soup kitchen: priceless
Anyone can spend their money on anything they want, without having to justify it to anyone else. However, if you want to look like you're homeless, you can do it for substantially less than $1,462. I legitimately don't have a clue where someone would wear that outfit to. My closest guesses are a hipster coffee shop, camping, or busker at Granville Island. I would never wear that to work, a restaurant, hockey game, golf club, beach, movies, grocery store, or interview.

Other than work / interview and maybe the beach, that outfit is totally fine for literally any of those things. It's just good relaxed casual wear. This type of workwear stuff has been popular for over a decade. And yes, you can do it for way less than $1400 for an outfit. The only reason to spend that much on it is either that you don't care how much money you're spending, or you have specific wants in terms of the materials and textures you're after. But if you think the guy in that photo looks "homeless", well, it's time to stop posting and re-evaluate your entire outlook on life.

What age group wears this? Maybe I'm too old for this trend. Maybe I'm too young. Maybe I'm too skinny. I prefer my clothes to fit instead of looking like I'm wearing a burlap sack.

To assume you're asking these questions non-rhetorically, pretty much any age group over 20 can wear this type of outfit successfully, though I actually do think it looks better on someone with a bit of grey in their beard.

I prefer pants that are tailored to the proper length. Maybe I'm too conservative, since I wear suits to the office, but if I was going out to dinner or to the movies, and I wasn't wearing a suit, I'd wear something like these, depending on the occasion.

This just sounds like sartorial rule worship. Which is fine if you're not particularly adventurous and you just want to look presentable all the time but it's not much fun.
Also, if you wear a suit to go to the movies, other than a premiere of a movie you're actually in, there's something very wrong with you. Also who wears a suit to go out to dinner? I guess if it's a casual suit, sure, go nuts, but if you're going out like Henrik Lundqvist in a Barney's shoot because you're taking your bumble date to Una I'd be worried about you chopping her up and dumping her in the Bow afterwards.
Those loafers are pretty awful with the rest of that. Frankly loafers are rarely the move.
