work uniform

Employer-mandated clothing

A work uniform is standardized clothing worn by employees of a particular organization or profession.

Uniforms identify workers, project a consistent image, and sometimes provide practical protection: The restaurant requires black pants and a company polo as the work uniform.

Some workplaces provide uniforms; others specify requirements employees must purchase themselves.
