I guess it is somewhat important to maintain an image. Image is somewhat tied to respect. It is hard to respect a teacher if your first impression of him is him in e.g. shorts and sandals.
That's why teachers (guys) normally dress in at least long sleeves and pants. You can throw in a tie and even wear a jacket depending on which level of kids you are teaching.

Yes, I love the feeling of being over dressed and for people to say there is a well dressed man when they see me walk by.

I think it's good to have a rapport with the kids but also there is a line between you and your students so I suppose subconsciously this is also reflected in the dress style you should wear..I am terrible..I can wear clothes like my teenage nieces to blend in at home..but if I go out I have to dress according to my age.So every place has its dress code..Maybe wearing some combat slyle trousers with bagy shirts rather than jeans might just do the trick..not too formal but not too teenagy..what do you think?
