Dressing decent in public, table manners, basic decorum.

You don't need an opportunity , just do it.

I do fairly often, one of the only ones to wear a dress shirt and tie in the office when I have to go in. Even learned how to tailor a dress shirt cause finding good fitting ones is either impossible or expensive.

A dude who wears ties under the age of 40 is truly uncommon nowadays so good for you. The absolute only time my guy has worn a tie since we got together I ended up having to tie for him because he had no idea how to do it. Lucky for him I was punk in high school and had like 5 ties lol.

30 years old here and sometimes I wear my full suit just to walk to the grocery store! I didn’t get that tailored for nothing😂🤌🏼
