Exactly. If the employer is not providing the attire, then they lose a lot of room to complain about what the employee wears as long as it is not offensive, grossly inappropriate, or a safety hazard.

Maybe that sweatshirt is the only one he doesn't care too much about if it gets ripped, torn, or soiled.
