If u itemized and have a shifty accounted.... it is permissible...
At one time, I had a sharp CPA do my taxes. Another driver referred him to me. Man, he saved me some money...Got allowance for washing my uniforms. (detergent, water, electricity) Haircut (required grooming standards) I got a haircut every week.

Even shoelaces. He asked me if the company required certain footware. (covered) He asked me if I broke shoelaces. Once a week, he asked? I said I wore boots. He said, yeah, about once a week. (wink wink) I used that guy for about 10 years, till he kicked the bucket on me.
