In our thriller opening the character is dressed in a shirt and formal trousers. This conveys that he is a businessman of some sort or even a teacher. The character is clearly quite young, he looks about 18 or 19, so the fact that he has an adult-like costume on will prompt the audience to ask the question of why he isn't dressing like his age. In the actual plot he is a 35 year old man who has a succession of dreams where he is back in his 18 year old body and back at his former secondary school, but still wearing his present day costume, which explains why the young actor is wearing adult-like clothes. The scruffy look of the character eludes his frustration and panic as he wakes up and surveys his surroundings, then begins to realise he is back in his old school. The untucked shirt, and rolled up sleeves hints to the audience that he is out of place but determined to get out of this place.
Here is a screenshot of the costume:
