I don't find the suits identical myself. They would look quite strange on the street here.
It's the ties that get me. Why are there ties?

The suit itself looks like a truncated version of the formal robes from the original series. The cut looks odd to say the least, and the colors are as out of place as the ties.
Query: What are the cultural antecedents for ties and for suits?

Can't help on the suits right now.  Check out

about the ties, see if those help at all.
