The IRS allows deductions for work clothes if they are required as a condition of employment and are not suitable for everyday wear. This includes uniforms (e.g., police or military uniforms) and protective clothing (e.g., hard hats, safety boots). Ordinary clothing, even if purchased specifically for work, is not deductible. For example, a suit worn by a lawyer is not deductible because it can be worn outside of work. However, a costume required for a theatrical performance or a branded uniform with a company logo that cannot be worn outside of work would be deductible.
