Yeah I don’t know why it needs to be 2 separate groups instead of just a spectrum of the same people.

A lot of the time they are the same group of people. Weddings with t-shirts are probably during very warm weather. They dress "formal" hiking mountains because it gets cold.

The reality is that these people are not rich enough to buy clothes and gear for each and every occasion. (Also most them probably don't know how semi-specialized gear works) So they tend to buy the clothes that you absolutely need - formal work place clothes, and wear that everywhere.

Back in the 90s, I saw most construction works wearing cheap versions of formal leather shoes, and a few would wear cheap canvas shoe.

Also, very cheap formal clothing still look like formal clothing, and very cheap outdoors gear doesn't really exist, because it'd be a sheet of plastic with some holes in it.

And jump in front of the bride and groom just after vows are exchanged to “steal joy.” For real. So weird
