It really depends on a) the industrial sector and b) the position you're in. At a certain point a suit is more or less mandatory (except everything "creativity" related: art, computer science, fashion of cause…).
Nevertheless I don’t see a big problem to change this uniform in a kind of way (fabric, mixture of suit with shirt, tie, pocket square, shoes, socks... ) that you don’t look like a clone. You only have to make sure you don't dress better than your boss (as always avoid
negative attention)
