It's crude. It's antithetical to a good work ethic and having mad skills. But offices are superficial, just like the gym and the bar.
Eventually you'll get yours looking sharp.

the most successful people I know don't dress like they kiss any ones arse , and probably under dress more than over dress . confidence (especially in negotiating) and competence aren't given enough credit here . at the same time I know under qualified people who have dressed in brands they couldn't afford and played the part until they got that position
so there are examples on both sides of it . but i would say just be yourself and find confidence in it .. learn tricks and skills to increase your charisma and social competence .. and if that requires dressing like a million bucks to be at your best then do that
