"There&amp;rsquo;s a certain stigma that comes with wearing the same clothes every day. People immediately think you don&amp;rsquo;t know how to dress, that you&amp;rsquo;re uncreative, lazy, boring, possibly unwashed and unloved. This isn&amp;rsquo;t a shocking revelation for a generation that was told from birth to be individuals (as well as rinse and repeat), but it&amp;rsquo;s also not always true, especially in the case of many men who define style and fashion on a daily basis.\r\n&amp;ldquo;In a lot of ways your uniform can signify who you are and what you stand for,&amp;rdquo; says Ernest Sabine, founder of the upstart menswear brand Ernest Alexander.&amp;nbsp;&amp;ldquo;Dressy or casual, it really speaks to who you are and what you portray.&amp;rdquo;\r\nYou&amp;rsquo;ll find Sabine in jeans, boots, and a chambray button-down shirt nearly every day, which he considers &amp;ldquo;toothy,&amp;rdquo; but with a versatile work/life element. &amp;ldquo;You don&amp;rsquo;t mind getting it a little wrinkled and beaten up.

And that, too.\r\nBelow, three more designers on&amp;nbsp;why they embrace the uniform.&amp;nbsp;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
