Ah yes, but sometimes one encounters a man wearing a simple suit, who wears it so well, that the ordinary uniform stands out. That's partially why I liked this one so well, exactly because it is the ordinary done so nicely! Sometimes the efforts at uniqueness seem overblown - I'm a bit in the understated camp myself.
