The difference is the one set of clothes i buy myself and the other sent from head office in plastic wrap. I have been waiting for a reason to change jobs, so maybe i am just using it as justification to stop being lazy and move on.
After deciphering the OP's posts, I've come to the conclusion that he doesn't work FOR a law firm, but actually for an IT services company and they want all employees to wear their logo uniform, in which case it sounds a lot more understandable.

no, this explains everything
I hate to break it to you but at one point or another all of your clothes have been in plastic wrap.
If you're not happy with the fit go and have it altered, you'll be the pimpest looking McD's worker on the block with your custom threads.

Most of my work involves wearing a boiler suit and safety boots 99% of the time, the only exception being at dinner, where I have to wear formal uniform (pilot shirt with rank slides, black trousers and polished shoes), which is a throwback to a bygone age. Every other company I've worked for just asked that you bring uniform with you in case there was a ceremony/visiting dignitaries on board, and you never normally wore it. I could go entire three months trips without ever putting it on.

I like the idea that wearing a shirt with a company logo is going to affect the OP's chances with women..
Branded polo shirt is hardly walking around like a tramp.
Sounds more like you are precious about keeping up appearances to people you don't know...

Its not that, i am realy not much in to my image, but i don't mind wearing a suit and girls like it. Its just humiliating wearing a uniform and also they won't fit right. for example my trousers i buy ones with the stretchy waste. Its just tacky and cheap and unprofessional at law firms. Id understand if i was a field engineer, it may make more sense, but perm on site seems ridiculous to me.
Who says it won't fit right? Unless you're a rather odd shape like me then very few off the rack clothes will fit so badly that anyone will notice.
Why is it humiliating? unless they're making you dress up as a clown you seem to be struggling with your own self image more than the whole needing to wear a uniform for work.
Why is it tacky cheap and unprofessional? The company want to present a unified image across their whole brand, what's working at a law firm got to do with it you don't work for the law firm it doesn't matter what they're allowed to wear.
This is starting to sound a lot like one of your other threads moaning about the benefits the actual law firm staff get that you don't even though you don't work for the law firm.
OP isn't in the porn industry, is he?
One industry where you can get away with a lack of uniform

They're doing something similar here but weirdly it has been encouraged by the staff and not the boss. The way they see it other departments that use uniforms are getting "free work clothes" and don't have to "worry about making sure you've got some of your own clothes to wear each day".
To be fair though, they are also the people ordering it, so what they'd done it just ordered a load of black smart trousers and plain white shirts like they'd wear anyway. So they've just got a load of free clothes basically.

I just said it wont fit right.
It is humiliating because its cheap and tacky uniform that doesn't fit right. Also i don't want people in public knowing who i work for. Id much rather wear a suit its much more professional for the clients and for being seen in public. Law firms have strict dress polices that is why it is relevant.
I think you will just disagree with anything i post to be honest.
What i am going to do is wait till bonus month and then hand in notice. Ive been due a change anyway so this is just pushing me a long.
We technically have a policy
- Shirt
- Jeans (if they are not ripped, just plain jeans) otherwise work trousers
- Shoes - plain shoes (work shoes)
Most people play ball and where a shirt and either jeans or trousers and proper work shoes. Some don't though.
I did for like 2 days and just gave up.
Been wearing t-shirt, jeans, plimsoles and a hoodie for 9 months, nothings been said.
