Yep, it's fashion. And the preception is that professionals adhere to the current "fashion." When the fashion changes, the perception will still be that professionals adhere to the current fashion. For the most part, it's local, too.
In my last metro area, pretty much everyone wore belted pants. I did a varsity game with the president of the local association and he wore belted pants. It wasn't an issue there; and yes, I got my pants from Walmart.
Here, it would be a last resort. Last year we got a nasty-gram from the assocation regarding the side-panel shirts (a no-no). Other areas don't care.
