Work clothes are generally not deductible unless they are required for your job and not suitable for everyday wear. This includes uniforms, safety equipment, and specialized clothing (like a chef's uniform or medical scrubs). Regular business attire (suits, dresses, etc.) is not deductible. The clothing must be specifically required by your employer and not adaptable for personal use.
