That’s a tough question for me, but if I had to choose, I would say that my favorite piece of clothing is probably my new denim jacket.

The denim jacket that I have in mind is from a store back in my hometown. I bought it when I visited my mother there a few months ago.

First of all, if all the employees are wearing the same shirt, they know who they are working with, and the customers know who works there. It makes it more simple for everyone if employees are in uniform, just like when athletes wear uniforms to recognize who is on their team, and who is the opposition.
