So no shoes, no socks, simple pull on pants, simple button-down or pull on shirt, no patterns, just basic colors and natural fabrics. i saw some pictures, years back, from a site putting itself forward as some kind of slave training academy, and they had a similar uniform... The slaves all wore the same off-white, unadorned, fairly shapeless cloth jumpsuit, same hairstyle, no jewelry, no footwear... they were often in bag-style hoods that matched the jumpsuits... It was very striking. If you look at clothing as a symbol of power, or even a source of sexual power a la fetishwear, it really confronts that. Nice. For me it plays with the other idea of a hierarchy signal -- limited fabrics and colors and even styles/lengths to signal social status.
