It's important to note that even jobs without dress codes usually wind up having some sort of unofficial dress code. I personally would love to show up to work every day in a suit, but I can't really do that because my boss and all my coworkers are showing up in t-shirts (I work in academia).
Incidentally, the temptation of being able to wear a suit every day is one of the things that nearly drove me from physics into quant finance.

It can be a status marker (or status illusion), its default tailoring makes you look taller and thinner, the jacket provides convenient extra pockets (this is important to me), and if it has good materials it can be as comfortable as anything.
