simple future or future continuous? new concept english 3.4

He will be soon working in an office. He will be earning only half as much as he used to. But he feels that his rise in status is well worth the loss of money. From now on, he will wear a suit all day and others will call him 'Mr. Bloggs', not 'Alf'.

Why simple future "he will wear a suit ..." is used here? I think "will be wearing" is better, am I right?
