I have a couple of nice suits and a couple of sports coats. Plenty of ties and dress shirts. Wear the suits/coats on Sunday 50% of the time, to formal events, special occasions, weddings/funerals, and to court as needed.

On ties. I'd rather not wear one and I often just wear dress slacks and a sportcoat without a tie to church.

As a bigger guy, the key to me in feeling comfortable is to have a correct fitting dress shirt with extra room in the neck. Adding a tie then is not a big deal on discomfort. A coat and pants are not restrictive at all. No different than jeans and a jacket. If it fits well it is comfortable no matter what you wear.
