With air conditioning... It's quite a prestige thing to be able to afford the amount of cooling needed to wear a suit in a desert...

I don’t believe you’ve ever been to Dubai if you think that cooling here is in any way a luxury. Your aircon breaking in the summer is treated like a health emergency. Nobody is living without aircon in the summer.
I rarely meet with investors or anything like that, but when I do, not dressing up is a test. If they judge me for what I wear, beyond basic cleanliness, we're not a good fit for working together.
