The great thing is you can do this for yourself. Find a look you like and buy multiples of it. You can switch up colors if you want, or literally just wear the same thing. I know a few people who do this and they seem really happy doing it.

Bonus if it’s provided instead of purchased.

I’m jealous of professions that can wear scrubs without judgment for that reason. Comfortable, and not too complicated.

Black pants and green polo shirt. That’s my uniform.

Upvote for unpopularity. I like the idea of not having to think about what to wear, but I don’t really care about the under-dressed/over-dressed part. I’m in a work place that went from a professional dress code to a business-casual dress code and holy shit was that great, just not having to care about what I was wearing, other than no ripped jeans or whatever, it’s just so nice. I sit at a desk all day, so nobody really ever sees what I’m wearing all day anyways, so whatever. Also:

1. Just getting people to wear a fucking mask during a global pandemic was enough for some people to want to go to civil war, good luck telling them what shirt and pants to wear (or that they should wear any in the first place),
2. I think even if uniforms were instituted, you’d still have members of society who would have to have something else. Politicians and/or military would get something else, just because. Then maybe you’d get other divisions getting added in, bosses at workplaces, religious folks, medical personnel, whatever, people will do anything to differentiate themselves from others, even if you try to start them out the same.

I feel like even in Star Trek, the different uniformed groups still probably talk shit about each other. Red shirts are obviously the big joke about being expendable, but then they probably still have informal green vs blue social groups popping up, the different departments are still going to be getting catty with each other over petty differences, even hundreds of years in the future. Then add in all these random fucking aliens from all over with way different standards, social taboos, and methods of communication, you’ll have alot of pissed off humans onboard starships hating almost everyone else they work with.

Just don’t give a fuck what other people think and you’re golden.

I’m surprised so many are against this. It’s a good idea for his reasons but everyone’s mind immediately snaps to the shitty forced conditions of other places.

Go for it. My grandfather wore a green mechanic’s uniform nearly every day of his life.

As long as I choose the uniform.
Monday: Cheerleader.
Tuesday: Policeman.
Wednesday: Astronaut.
Thursday: Catholic School Girl.
Friday: Priest.
Saturday: Hooters Waitress.
Sunday: NFL Linebacker.

Based on replies to this post it’s a legit unpopular opinion lol. I agree with you but for different reasons maybe. “Expressing” one’s self via fashion choices is pretty environmentally damaging as practiced in most modern westernized societies, especially practices like fast fashion. I think there are lots of ways to express oneself without having to a constantly changing wardrobe. Of course reducing wardrobe in and of itself will not save the environment but it’s one step among many.

I worked at an agency that had one of the execs always wear black. Same thought process, it eliminates a thought process better spent used elsewhere - or so implied.

Reality is society tends to frown on automatons and when you have no personal style you come off as a robot.

Agreed! I get uniforms from work. It’s great.

I don’t have to buy work clothes. I don’t have to launder them (work does). I don’t have to think about what I’m going to wear.

a uniform can come from within

I have duplicates of the same clothes and wear the same thing daily. Nobody is forcing you to choose what to wear, lol.

I don’t mind dress codes, I just don’t like inconsistent dress codes.

Men: Must wear either shirt or polo tshirt. Round neck tshirts not allowed.

Women: dress code is… ehhhh… business casuals.
