Acceptable appearance after work

At work, I wear shirts and tie, suits etc. Often after work I go to maybe my cousins house, or friends house. Recently during a visit to my cousin's house, she asked me what time I had left this morning to go to work. At this point it had been about 16 hours or so. She made reference to how smart I still looked after so much time had passed and said i should loosen all up. She said after so many hours she would expect atleast a loose tie, and shirt a little if not all hanging out. This particular day, i had a suit on and a vneck jumper as it was cold. What are your thoughts?

As stated, my cousin said I should loosen up later on when I am lounging, She laughed and said come on, you can't look that smart forever! I loosened my tie to about my second button, opened my top 2 buttons, removed my vneck jumper and jacket and untucked my shirt. Would you say this was a bad look regardless the company I was in? Also, when I was leaving, i put my jumper back on leaving my shirt hanging beneath.
Yes, bad choice, you should remain smart
No, you are chilling
Should have smartened up again before I left
Is it ok for a person dressed in formal attire to loosen to this level, untuck shirt and loosen tie, very low
Yes
No
