Not in the least
Phil, if you were working in one of those jacket-and-tie roles still, you might easily drop into your pub on the way home. It's what you're accustomed to doing, so of course it feels right.
Never underestimate the power of familiarity. As a retired school principal, now a priest, every once in a while I feel a great compulsion to wear a white shirt and a nice tie rather than my clerical collar. Sometimes I do it. Why? Because it's comforting to do something familiar.
Phil, you and I are two too-old dogs to give up what we consider "right" and "normal". Wear it!
