The dress code regualations in Islam (DCRI) has got nothing to do with coats or pants. Infact coat originated from Turkey and it used to be called "Turkish coat" then the word Turkish disappeared and word coat is being used now.
Hazoor PBUH never ever wore Shalwar kameez. So can we say that shalwar kameez is not part of DCRI, wrong (otherwise all the mulvis will fall foul of this regulation). infact any dress which adequately covers the body is good in islam and even the arabic dress can be bad if it doesnot adequately cover body.
Suits (pants coats) is neither jewish nor christian, you just have to watch their old movies to see their traditional code. Infact jewish traditional dress code is similar to that of ours.
There is one reference in Quran which can apply to this situation and which goes on to say that muslims should not attempt to look like non muslims <u><b>EXCEPT</b></u> when you are amongst them.
