The problem with being classy is that girls don't reward class by itself. The examples already mentioned, James Bond and the rest, have established credentials. Also, Connery's Bond was operating in the 1960's, a vastly different time period in terms of female attitude and expectations. That era shares little in common with the Thunderdome in which we're living. This is all a way of saying that class isn't necessary, especially because classy ladies are in short supply.
Plenty of dudes without class can get laid. Think of how many times you've seen a loud drunk guy with a hot chick. In fact, the man who meets the frat douchebag stereotype may lack class, but never available ass.
The problem is that being classy is that you're letting others define what you find acceptable. You should set your own limits, not whether Don Draper or James Bond would approve of your actions. If you can accept wearing a bandana and a cut-off shirt, then you should do it. If you feel more comfortable in a suit and tie, then go with that. If you can pull either way, what's the problem?
