In a lot of ways it makes sense to play with this solution again. I would be really surprised if it didn't make a comeback in some ways. For example, combine A) what Steve's "uniform" actually looked like, and B) medical/dental supplier catalogs that have been in use for work attire purchases for years. The combination could hint at a reasonable outcome that's not some kind of polyester tragedy from the 1960s. This could be a pretty amazing employee perk that makes a ton of sense. It could look good and build on trends. There could be _just_ enough uniformity to make non-uniformity less of an issue (that'd be the real goal these days, since uniformity isn't so idolized anymore), but really, so many different & awkward questions/discussions/issues with work clothing could be avoided by sourcing from systems set up to meaningfully process those issues, rather than falling back on the same lines in an employee handbook. IMO some amount of uniformity is definitely going to make a comeback now that we've gone full-self-expression, and it may need to slip through the door in disguise as on-brand style & system, but it also could be pretty helpful and comfortable. Jobs' plea started with a specific article / item (vests), so that was probably doomed from the start. But "look through this online catalog, there are over a trillion combinations and none of them cost you anything" could be something different.
