You look like...
I imagine the best thing you've got going for you in this situation is that most of those folks have a son, grandson, or nephew who's your age and dresses the same way. They'll be really impressed to hear your seriousness coming out of some scruffy kid...
I applaud your confidence. Any of us old farts would be proud to claim you as our own. <salutes>

No I wouldn't advise it for everyone.
I've had alot of practice at my "shock and Aw" political tactics, my dad is a big businessman, and I play in a rock band... But at the same time, I love business, economics, and politics.... and have never bowed to societies demands for me. I figure I will in a few years, after the young wares off of me. Then after everyone already knows me and sees the transformation... yeah... lol
